I successfully rendered one project and was able to choose "custom" on the right handside, after the render option is chosen from the menu. When I came back next time, and chose Mpeg 2, it only has the template name that I put the last time I used it, and it wont let me choose "custom" and edit some of the settings. How can I fix this.

Your assistance is appreciated.

here is the solution I found it:

Look in your registry, and make sure it only has these entries, and nothing else.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sony Media Software\MC MPEG Plug-In\1.0\License]
"CurrentKey"="XX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX"
"InstFlags"=dword:00000010

(you shoud see letters and digits instead of the Xs here...)


If it is not "CurrentKey" or "InstFlags", get rid of it.

Thank you to myself

PS If you have VEgas Studio the Customer option will not work for you, its only available with the professional version of the encoder, which comes with Vegas.

I was just about to suggest that :lol:

Thanks for posting the solution. Very much appreciated as I can guarantee it will help someone else.
