    I don't want to sound churlish, but I think these posts should be in another topic. This topic is for 'seeking alternatives" to VRD. People visiting would be expecting to see posts related to alternatives, not how to set up VRD.

    This has been flogged to death already in here, and other forums, i don't think anyone needs to say much more, unless there is something new to add as an update about the future of VRD and the activation service.

    Interesting that you mention this, you also contributed some comments/posts that were Off Topic as well, so if you believed that a Post or Comment made by someone else was Off Topic, you should have refrained from responding, and called the member out for Off Topic banter instead.

    As of now, i will not be taking part in this Thread any further unless it is only something relating to Alternative software suggestion, however, there really is nothing out there like VRD, and i think we already know that by now.

    I will happily go back to all of my previous posts and remove any OFF TOPIC content (given that we can't delete actual posts) all i was trying to do was help with some info about VRD, because i know that many VRD users actually don't know how to use it properly, or know how to set things up to work the way that Dan Rosen intended it to work, and that is why the old VRD forum was so full of people asking about how to do stuff, or complaining all the time that certain things didn't work etc, and most of it was just a massive big joke to be honest.

    If i can get a reply from Pegasys about how the TMPGEnc Smart Render feature really works so that i don't need to select my own Output Quality (which re-encodes the whole file) then it would be the closest thing to VRD, except that it cannot do outputs to other formats, only TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 7 does that, yet that software does not do Smart Rendering, which is dumb on the part of Pegasys.

    TMPGEnc Smart Renderer 6 supports my 4k/60p HEVC files, it does Frame Accurate cuts, it can do Titles and Credits, it can do Fade in and outs, as well as a few other things that VRD can't do, and i can live with the fact that it does not let us render to other formats, so i would just use Handbrake for that instead, which is what it was always designed to do, it does not do Smart Rendering like some people seem to think it does, and even if you can select the same output resolution and format as the source file, you then need to manually set your Video Quality Bitrate, so in the end, regardless of your settings, the output file is always fully re-encoded, and the Video Bitrate will never be exactly the same as the source, just maybe close enough for anyone not to notice any difference, but this is not why anyone would use Handbrake for anyway.
