Well it was fine for us, but we soon found out that they weren't playing for anyone not using Version 9. So we tried to go back to version 8. (Insert mountains of headaches, and a death threat)
After dealing with one of the big editing machines today we noticed that not one.. but 3 machines were fucked up. They all had Windows Media version 9. So we quickly went to the microsoft site to get Windows Media 8 and sure enough there is NOT a single link to WM8 nor do they even mention that a version 8 ever existed. It's just not there AT ALL!!
So we called Sonic Foundry and that guy told us tht WM8 is installed when you load up Vegas Video 3.0. The next thing we did was dump the Windows Media 9 and then dumped Vegas Video. Ok, all is well. Aahhh, time for a Carona.
Ok, all I need to do now is install Vegas Video 3.0 again. Success. ok, now to render a test clip... WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!!? WINDOWS MEDIA 9 IS STILL THERE!!! It's like Freddy or Jason from those horror films. This fucker just won't die.
Next step... check all known files and folders for Windows Media 9 or any version for that matter, and kill it. We even deleted everything out of the registry (mistake # 133 of our day)
Ok, so finally every last trace was gone. Now we open Vegas Video again, and try to render. Ok, NOW WHAT THE FUCK AGAIN!! There is no Windows Media codecs. No problem, we'll just go back to Microsoft and get them again. No luck. No matter what we installed, no matter how many different versions of WM9 we installed Vegas Video just wouldn't see it. No matter how many times we reinstalled Vegas Video... it wouldn't see Windows media.
Our last resort (which should have been our first) save what you got, and dump the OS and start over. We did.
One down... 2 (possibly 3) more to go.
THANKS MICROSOFT!!
