I was talking about the dude above me.

I have Studio as well, it works great for the cost.

I was being sarcastic :-)

It beggared belief that not only had Sony mucked up something as basic and fundamental as frame-rates, they also apparently thought that this broken behaviour was acceptable. I worked out what they'd done by manually editing the headers of some AVIs until I found the pair of numbers that got Vegas to work correctly.

Premiere, which I was also trialling at the time, didn't have this problem so that's what I went with. It was somewhat more expensive, and had its own pile of issues (this was a little while ago!), but at least it wasn't stuffed.
