>From what I recall ... it's not vegas' fault but Quicktime's. There is something about the Windows Quicktime API that is not exposed to windows applications (not even if you have QT Pro installed). I'm pretty sure its the AAC audio codec.
Basically windows applications cant request the AAC codec be used via the QT API. You can use all sorts of other QT stuff ... but cant do ipod formatted video without QT Pro ... because on a windows box only QT pro is going to be able to access the parts of QT for Windows that allows for AAC audio compression. ... poorly described ... but the bottom line is that in windows you need QT Pro, and you have to actually use it (not some other app) to do the final compression. -- http://www.DavidMeade.com
