Subject:Bugs on SF9 Posted by: S4 Date:5/6/2007 4:33:08 PM I have seen some strange behaviors on SF9. 1. SF9 did not create files on "Sony SetUp" folder at the time of installing. I un-installed and re-installed, but it did not make them for the second time, neither. Actually, CD architect did the same thing. 2. After saving as .ac3, the following warning shows up: An error occurred while saving one or more file. The requested plug-in does not have the necessary features unlocked. And if I check the detail box, it says, the file could not be open. You need to obtain an MP3 license to open it. What does AC-3 have to do with MP3? Plus I have no problem with saving MP3. I guess I get this message because I don't have AC-3 player installed on my pc, but I still don't understand why SF9 gives me this error, though. we cannot open AC-3 files on SF9, anyway. Also, I don't get any error message when saving ac3 with Vegas 7.0. 3. When running Statistics, it seems that RMS level shows about double of actual value. When I check statistics of a file with SF8, RMS level shows 13dB and with SF9, it shows 26dB. Has anyone seen these issues?

Our license agreement with Dolby does not allow us to open the .ac3 file. The file should have been saved, but Forge should not be trying to re-open it (or give you the bogus mp3 error message). 3) Make sure you've installed the 9.0a update. J.

I have seen some strange behaviors on SF9.

1. SF9 did not create files on "Sony SetUp" folder at the time of installing. I un-installed and re-installed, but it did not make them for the second time, neither. Actually, CD architect did the same thing.

2. After saving as .ac3, the following warning shows up:

An error occurred while saving one or more file. The requested plug-in does not have the necessary features unlocked.

And if I check the detail box, it says, the file could not be open. You need to obtain an MP3 license to open it. What does AC-3 have to do with MP3? Plus I have no problem with saving MP3.

I guess I get this message because I don't have AC-3 player installed on my pc, but I still don't understand why SF9 gives me this error, though. we cannot open AC-3 files on SF9, anyway. Also, I don't get any error message when saving ac3 with Vegas 7.0.

3. When running Statistics, it seems that RMS level shows about double of actual value. When I check statistics of a file with SF8, RMS level shows 13dB and with SF9, it shows 26dB.

Has anyone seen these issues?
