Can you please outline exactly the problems you are all experiencing? The code for handling these kind of files hasn't changed between releases so it is pretty strange that you are experiencing these results.
I have ES version 4.10 installed on two computers, both running Windows XP. With both, when I attempt to load either msv or dvf, a file consumes 100% of the CPU, and takes forever to load, shutting out any other use of the PC. In a few of the times I was able to sit it out, it took well over an hour to load a 20 minute file. DVF might load slightly faster or consume slightly less of the CPU, but it's a distinction without a difference... it makes ES dysfunctional vis a vis the Sony extensions. As I noted in my earlier posts, and as I believe some others may have also noticed, the problem does not occur with the same files with either SwitchPlus or WavePad, so it's not a problem with the plug-in.
I should add that I am not plugging a Sony recorder into my computer, but downloaded and saved the files to my HDD, as I do with all files, regardless, and then load into ES.
Clearly one reason users are so terribly frustrated is that earlier versions of ES slipped msf/dvf files in like a hand in a glove. This time last year, I was able to load msv files of up to several hours, with no problem.
I do very much hope this can be fixed soon. I've been using ES now for at least 5 years.
