  Rendering problems

  Posted by Trey Isbell on June 9, 2008 at 1:33 pm

  When I go to render my video I get an error memory to low. I checked the memory and I am only using 64% of my physical memory. Anybody have this problem before.

  Trey, I can’t help but notice that you’ve asked several questions since you started posting here without too many solutions offered.
  What would help us to help you is for you to give us a list of your system components.

  Version of Vegas used;
  CPU speed;
  Operating system;
  Amount of RAM;
  Number & size of hard drives;
  Video format(s) that you edit with;
  List of other relevant programs used (Photoshop, After Effects, etc.);
  Brand of anti-virus software.

  SONY VEGAS PRO 8.0B
  WINDOWS VISTA
  AMD 64 X2 DUAL CORE 5000+ 2.6GHZ
  3GB RAM
  32 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM
  NORTON ANTIVIRUS
  1 500 GB HARD DRIVE
  I DONT USE ANY OTHER PROGRAMS WITH VEGAS

  VIDEO FORMATS SOME MPEG2 FROM SONY HANDYCAM
  SOME AVI FROM HELMET CAM

  THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS AN ERROR DURING THE EDITING PROCESS IT SAID EXCEPTION OCCURED AND WOULD SHUT DOWN. I STARTED ANOTHER PROJECT WITH THE SAME FILM AND NOW I GET AN ERROR MEMORY IS TO LOW WHEN I TRY TO RENDER SO I CAN BURN TO DVD.

  So far, so good.

  NORTON ANTIVIRUS

  Uh oh.
  Norton AV is known to be a real resource/memory hog.
  At the very least, disable it during any renders.
  If at all possible, replace it with something far less obtrusive like PC-Cillin or Kaspersky.

  1 500 GB HARD DRIVE

  Hard drives are very cheap these days.
  Do yourself a favour and get at least one more, preferably two.
  Use drive C for your apps and drive D for any & all material related to video production.
  Change all relevant folder locations (temp, render, etc.) in Vgeas so that they point to drive D and not C.

  VIDEO FORMATS SOME MPEG2 FROM SONY HANDYCAM

  MPEG-2 footage from miniDVD camcorders have been know to cause problems, even with reasonably powerful systems like yours.

  SOME AVI FROM HELMET CAM

  Is it DV-AVI or someting like DviX or Xvid?

  My last suggestion is to make sure you’re not connected to the ‘net while doing any video editing.
