"I'm At My Wits End!" -- Wits Now Restored, And Vegas Now Works! 8^)

I had a "Well, DUH!" moment this morning, and thought
to try something new (I had tried the new Sony Vegas HDV
.dll with my old project, but I could not open the project no
matter what I did - it would never quite finish "building peaks",
even with the sound removed completely from the project).
The best I could do with the old .dll is produce a video with
many black frame "blinks". I tried opening an empty project
with the new .dll installed, then imported the defective video
file, and it worked! (Or, at least I think so...;-) I have not yet
dared watch the three copies I made, but I saw nothing wrong
on the camcorder viewing screen during copying. BTW, I
brought in an earlier video with red/black frames (one black
"permanent" one at output with the old .dll), and this one was
not improved (but the single bad frame could be cut out
without problems). Maybe happy editing is ahead with
Vegas...(?)
