Another reason I occasionally use video mixdown is when using media from multiple shows of differing resolutions. If I don't have access to the tapes, it's just easier to vmix down those 2 clips that are DV25 to 1-1 to match the rest of the program, thus avoiding encoding issues later on down the line.

When I set up large encoding batches as I leave for the night, it just kills me to leave the Nitris DX on all night. I'd really prefer to turn it off over night.

The larger issue being presented here though is that the the Nitris DX needs a bonafied power button... I know I wish it had one.

Did not work for me unfortunately.

Interesting... I've not tried the .avs thing in that exact manner. I'll give it a go and let you know if that helps.

That is typically one of my first troubleshooting attempts janusz. I'm getting hit with this on newly created projects native to 4.0.2 however, as well as older ones. I've trashed the .avs file to no avail.

Larry, My settings are not honored after doing what you said. Both existing and new projects do not hold the settings across all the tabs in the media creation settings. As soon as I close a project and re-open it or open another, it reverts back to DV25 MXF no matter what. This was not an issue for me in MC 3.5 or even in MC 4 beta 1. In fact if I

Since upgrading to MC 4.0.2, my media creation settings default to DV25 MXF. I can manually switch it to whatever I want in the media creation settings, and all is good. However, as soon as i close the project and open another, it's back to DV25 MXF. I uninstalled everything and wiped every remaining Avid related setting off the machine manually

I fins trashing the .avs file from the project helps alot.
