    What version of Vegas are you using? Make sure it has the latest patches. What codecs do the AVI files use? Avoid formats like DivX and Xvid for editing. Also WMV is not a good format to edit. Try rendering to a different format. Do you still get an error? WMV has caused some problems. Try MP4 instead.

    I Am using Vegas pro. 10. How do i get the latest patches, it never updates or gives me an update recommendation. I’ve had it for 2 months now. How do i check what codecs my files are using? I’m sorry, i’ve never tried this before.

    Vegas Pro 10c is the latest update. You can download updates from the Software Updates page of SonyMediaSoftware.com web site.

    [Hristine Asnanti] “How do i check what codecs my files are using?”

    There are several free utilities that can give you this info. I like to use GSpot. Just open the file with it and it will tell you what codec it uses and if it’s installed.

    Your error is when rendering. Are you sure that you have enough free space on the drive that you are rendering to? These are very difficult to debug when Vegas can’t give you a valid error message. 🙁

    Sorry but I can’t see what “this” is. Were you trying to post a picture?
