Worked on holiday Production (45 mins) for 2 weeks now, only to find that I will have to abandon certain Distort and 3D transitions from the production!
Nothing major has changed with my setup - only the usual Windows updates.
Tried the following with NO EFFECT:
1. Switched to HW Rendering.
2. Updated to latest EMC10 fix - now at 10.1.226
3. Updated NVIDIA driver - now at 8.17.11.9621 dated 11Jan2010 (followed your advice, i.e. uninstall, reboot, install)
4. Used myDVD instead of outputting from Videowave
I only have problem when rendering into AVI - not MPEG2; is it not the AVI codec?? Are there updates to codecs?
Am now experimenting with various User Defined output formats using different codecs.
Any new insights will be appreciated!!

1) Hvae you updated to Creator 2010 SP2 (just out)
2) What do you intend to do with the video? Why AVI?
3) Hardware render is supposed to give you more transitions and not less. Makes me wonder about the drivers installing properly.
4) Have you reset the options on your video card to "Best Performance" and to Application (software) controlled?

Like Steve in his post, I am not quite sure what you are trying to do or what you are doing.

1) I CANNOT JUSTIFY THE $$$ YET - IF YOU SAY IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM, I'LL CONSIDER UPGRADING
2) I PLAY THE VIDEO OVER HDMI CABLE FROM MY PC TO MY WIDE-SCREEN TV - AVI GIVES THE BEST QUALITY, I'M NOT HAPPY WITH MPEG's QUALITY
4) VIDEO CARD SETTINGS ARE EXACTLY AS YOU PROPOSE - NEVER CHANGED THEM

I believe that Steve was referring to updating your EMC 10 by downloading and installing the SP1 for EMC 10, not upgrading to Creator 2010. You have already downloaded, and installed, those huge files.
I don't know if any of your problems resulted from Windows updates, but keep in mind, any Windows updates that you download and install, are major updates, whether or not they are considered major, or not.
You really need to explain what you are doing. Are you trying to take your production and burn it to a DVD that you can play on a set top DVD player?
If so, I don't understand you saying that you are rendering into AVI. Why would you do that? Unless you have a DVD player, that will play .avi files, it won't play in you set top DVD player.
Again, explain what you want, in the end, because it would appear that you are going about it in the wrong way.
Life is good!
