Re: I've discovered virtually all my problems with Vegas 10 and 11. It's Cineform avi

[Dan Volker] "And then, the hope that there is an encoding solution for a web based format, that takes better advantage of the perfection you can achieve with a 4-4-4 cineform avi or mov. On this topic, I just downloaded the trial of Sorenson Squeeze 8, and was quite impressed with the x264 encode options--Squeeze 7 has only the bare minimum of encoding options you can set for the H264 encode"

Just curious... if you're intent on using x264 (the increasingly famous open source h.264 encoder -- incidently, the same one used for YouTube encoding), what the point of Sorenson? Just like a fancy front-end? I'll admit I paid something like $50 for a TMPGenc MasteringWorks upgrade, to get x264 encoding along with a pretty nice batch encoding system for most Windows media types. But Sorenson is pretty expensive, if you're mainly after something that's otherwise free (you can use x264 for anything you're already licensed on H.264 for, if you're concerned about the legalities). Maybe the upgrade price is decent?
