If you don't have the main concept mpeg plug-in for Vegas but have a stand
alone version of main concept 1.2 mpeg encoder, is there a way of
integrating with Vegas? If not what would be the best 'format' to source
within the encoder from Vegas before output to mpeg1 or 2?
Thanks for any advice or abuse.

My Vegas 4 came with MainConcept.
AFAIK stand-alones work differently than plug-ins. Usually when you buy
a stand-alone you get the plug-in included. For this reason (I assume)
I've never seen a solution (or a requirement for) patching a stand-alone
for use as a plug-in.

Having said all that, you *could* try copying the DLL. GID and Help
files from the stand-alone and putting in a folder in the File IO
Plug-Ins folder.
