Sony vegas rendering stops
Hey, i have a Hp compaq 6910p, 2,40 Ghz,2,99 gb Ramm laptop, and i have problems with rendering HD in sony vegas because sometimes it stops and says, “the system is on low memory, you may be able to reduce memory usage by closing other applications”. For som days ago i buyed more Ramm but i still have the same problem. I saw someone recommended Cineform NeoScene, what is this and what does this help, And is there any other things i can do ?

What kind of HD are you rendering that causes that error? If that’s a duo core, then it may barely be able to render HDV. If it’s AVCHD, then you probably can’t, or would not like how sluggish it would be. Cineform NeoScene is a lossless format that is not compressed as nuch as HDV and AVCHD and is way easier on your CPU to work with.
It’s $129.99, that could go towards a faster PC which is really what you need when working with HD. You can download a trial and see if it helps with your “Low memory” issue. Also make sure everything else that is running is shut down, virus prot, disable your internet if you use it on that machine, screen saver. Check your system configuration utility and see whats running each time it boots up.You ay be suprised how much stuff runs in the background. Hope this helps, Danny Hays -
What operating system are you running on that laptop? If it’s XP, buying more memory will not help because XP can only use 2GB of memory per application. You really need to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit to get more than 2GB of memory available for Vegas.

If you don’t plan on getting any support from Sony, you can try it but don’t be surprised if you run into other issues and be prepared to switch back if you need to call Sony support.

I recently ran into the same problem.
In my case it was not a RAM problem but just an hard disk almost full.
You should look in two places:
– in the General tab of the preferences window you should specify the path of a temporary folder. Be sure there is at least a few GBs free there. I had only a little less than one GB free on that hard disk and so I got the message. As I moved the folder on an HDD with more space the render went OK.
– another place where you can put the path of a temp folder is in the project properties, in the video tab. There you can specify the path for a “prerendered files folder”. I think this is used only when you are prerendering something but, just in case…
Please let us know if this solves the problem.
John, you are a professional programmer: how can you explain that, even in a big project with thousands of lines of code and uncountable ramifications, a premium bunch of programmers leave such a misleading message in a main release of one of their flagship products? I mean, Vegas surely knows that it’s a problem of paging file and not of RAM: or it is not so easy?
Thanks.

I’m sure the programmers are returning the error message that was generated by the operating system. If the OS says it’s out of memory, I don’t think it’s the programmers problem to determine if it’s virtual memory or physical memory. They just report the error they receive. It would be nice if the OS said it was out of swap space but it doesn’t.

Thank you. As clear as usual.
Anyway, let’s see if my hint solves the Andreas problem.
