If there's one thing I don't like to see on DV Info Net, it's a post like
this, with no substance, no content whatsoever except a link taking
our readers off site. If there's a press release, we'll publish it in our
News section. But I just had a quick look around and can't find one.

Meanwhile, if you're going to post on DV Info Net, at least have
something to say. Thanks in advance,

[Chris Hurd]

An example of the right way to do this:

Short excerpt from press release, followed by link to full press
release. Product photo thrown in for good measure. A bare link
by itself is *not* content.

Sorry Chris.
I promise it won''t happen again.
I added a brief description to my original post.

Much appreciated -- thanks Mike!

A wild guess is that we will have GPU accelerated editing with Pro 11 (possibly only with new nVidia VideoDirect hardware)

Check Out NVIDIA GPUDirect for Video and More at IBC 2011

Mentions "Vegas Pro".....anyone at IBC can confirm this?
Does it work with standard nVidia.cards or do we have to get new ones?
/m

Mike,

That is great news !! Do you think that Genarts and Boris FX are going to offer special Promotions to the Vegas users?

Hmm... That means we all will have to replace our existing nVidia cards. I clicked on that link and it is not for software developers but for hardware developers who want to incorporate it into their designs.

In other words, it is not supported by our current video cards.

Interestingly, though, CUDA 4 released in May already allows software developers to act as if CUDA hardware could access the system memory directly. This new release suggests that this will only help with the new hardware. :(

But it is progress, nonetheless.

Maybe not. The official Sony announcement only says new support for nVidia and AMD... I can hope that's to existing hardware. We'll see.

[David Jimerson]

EDLs?

Op-ATOM MXFs?

DVCPRO HD?

These are my eternal questions.

I was referring to the nVidia announcement about GPUDirect for Video, not to the Sony Vegas announcement.

Yes, any GPU software support from Vegas should work with existing hardware. But to achieve the additional speed increase offered by GPUDirect for Video we will need new video cards, not just new drivers (which already exist). Not only that, we will have to make sure whatever new nVidia card we get we will have to make sure it includes the new extensions since nVidia offers it as an option to hardware manufacturers, so not all new cards will necessarily support it (though I suspect they all will likely jump on the bandwagon).

Of course, I would like to see some independent tests showing what kind of speed increase this new hardware option will bring. I hope it is considerable.

I wasted money on Vegas 10. It still does not work properly with Cineform so I am stuck using Vegas 9e. Why would I bother wasting more money?

[Brian Drysdale]

If your old software does what you need why buy the very latest version? You might be be better upgrading every other version or waiting until you need to use features on the new version, otherwise you could be just spending money on something that you're using exactly the same as your current version.

Mervin,

I am really dissapointed with Vegas' lack of proper Cineform support as well especially after they touted better Cineform support in Vegas 10. I am unable to render out Cineform files from Vegas and bring them into Adobe products without the black levels jumping 7.5 IRE. Other bugs happening as well. I filed a ticket two weeks ago and still no reply. The last Cineform bug took them 1.5 years to fix and constant baggering. Cineform has never been a priority for them. We got 3d though :(.
