What works

UPDATED September 2011!!
Backup your current .wine directory before start installing!!
Now run Sony Vegas installer and stop it when showing the
request of installation/downloading of Visual C++ 2005 Redistribuitable

"vegas80_enu.msi" with the short command:
wine start vegas80_enu.msi
From Program Files > Sony Setup > Vegas Pro 8.0 launch the file
"vcredist_x86.exe"
Now you can close the installer
Sony Vegas require a Windows XP dll to work (implemented in Wine
but it presents lacks), copy "msvfw32.dll" from Windows > System32
folder or download from the internet (http://www.dll-files.com or similar websites) and paste to wine dir installation > System32 and set them to native
To set as native open winecfg ("wine winecfg") from terminal, go

##### Known issues #####
Sony Vegas start with the error: "An error occurred starting Sony Vegas. Failed to register with windows terminal services". UPDATE!! Go to Program Files > Sony > Vegas Pro 8.0 and edit the file "ErrorReportConfig.xml", at the line "enabled" change the value from "yes" to "no".
You can not drag the Video Preview and other elements of the main window
Sony ProType Titler
is not working due to malfunction of some components of the .NET
framework
With Compiz enabled the Startup screen, transparent images and icons have a black background. UPDATE!! Icons transparency now works fine, update Wine.
Problem with text alignment and break line in Sony Text Generator, other problem with Media generators
What was not tested

Scripting functions
Disc burning
Multicamera mode
Additional Comments
- The folder "Program Files" can be localized in your language
- Vegas requires also Windows Media Player to be able to export/import Windows Media video and audio, to get it: "winetricks wmp10" or install Windows Media Runtime redistributable.
- Rendering works better then Windows virtualization!

Installation

The installation doesn't work for me (Ubuntu 11.10 64bit, Wine 1.2.3) When I start the Vegas Setup it does not create a folder in C:/Program Files or anywhere else. Any ideas?
