Thanks Babindia, although I still would like the auto-updates to work from inside PD on my machine. Hasn't worked since about Version 8. Not a big deal as I am on here virtually every day, but I reckon there are a lot of people completely unaware of available updates.

Someone famous once said: "We only have the 4th dimension of 'time' so that everything does not all happen at once"

I also insatalled 1424c on top of 1229b release.
I found major issue in avchd encoding.
It took much more time to encode a video than that of the earlier version, also the output video is choppy, and full of glitches.
So I reverted back to 1229b.

Ditto !

I am also finding a degradation in AVC processing and rendering.

Had to switch back to 1129B which is very stable with AVC files. Win 10, i7
