Sony did break the controls for selecting the 32-bit floating point or 8-bit options in the Properties dialog. Once you select the 32-bit float, you can't change back to 8-bit. I posted a workaround on the Vegas Pro forum, which is to change the Stereoscopic setting from "None" to one of the other options when you have change back to 8-bit. Click Apply. Change the Stereoscopic setting back to "None." Click Apply. Then you'll be back to 8-bit again and 'None" for Stereoscopic.
