It would be very good idea, that SCS would send to the users info about using K-lite codecs pack.ProDAD Mercalli is well known as an industry standard. Suppose, that it also may be dangerous for Vegas (even never have experienced any problems). This may lead to situation, that external programs (like vReveal) which would like to use 'virgin' codecs section in registry, may be unable to find proper codecs. I have installed in the past k-lite and I can imagin that this pack writes a lot to the registry of Windows and then can't clean all writings during performing of uninstall. Have spent a lot of time in order to repairt it, but can't find source of problem. Under Vegas all works fine, under WMP also. vReveal uses installed codecs on system level - but it's not absolutely true : I have old camera Panasonic VDR D160 which saves MPG movies. I still have mess in vReveal (which is very fast and allow real time playback even with 100 fps avi movies (HD), which are a result from Bluff Titler models animation - so I like to use it). Generaly speaking : I believe there is something dangerous in codecs packs. I'm going to postpone problem, will try to resolve this with first attempt to use SAL version. If I see anything more, I'll post back here. One-at-a-time exports seem to work fine.ĥ) The important thing (to me, anyway) is that the 2.0.95 Vegas Plugin continues to work fine - no nasty messages and excellent stabilization. b) For some unknown reason, if I export to one format (say h264), then export to another format (say wmv), Mercalli sets the first export to 0 bytes. Clicking the 'ignore' button allows the user to continue. a) Since K-lite was not installed, the initial splash screen/bitch message is presented whenever Mercalli v2.1 SAL is launched. Some exports would display hiccups & glitches - this also seems to be fixed. exports in 2.0 would freeze during renders and sometimes would take many minutes to resume - this seems to be fixed. Here's my observations.ġ) I Installed Mercalli 2.1 and ignored the K-Lite install, although I did install their recommendation of updating the 'Intel Media SDK'Ģ) I had Matroska (Haali) Splitter & ffdshow previously installed.ģ) Mercalli 2.1 seemed work better than 2.0 as previously I had problems with the video 'export' e.g.

Okay, I installed Mercalli 2.1 and the 2.0.95 Sony Vegas Plugin (圆4).
