Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Error after rendering

  • Error after rendering

    Posted by Chris Franklin on October 14, 2008 at 12:01 am

    Hey all,

    I have a video that I’m trying to render that’s about 2 hours long. I’m using Vegas 6 and rendering as an mpeg2 with embedded audio. I render this way all the time with no problems.

    The problem I’m having is before the render is complete…the render stops and an error message pops up. (I don’t have the message up right now, but it’s something to the effect that there was an error with the render)

    I go to the rendered file and play it and it plays fine until close to the end where there render stopped. It didn’t render all the way.

    Any suggestions? Has anybody else had this problem. I actually had this problem a short while back and I had to split the video into two separate renders. I would like to keep this render as one whole file.

    Thanks!

    Error message says:

    “An error occurred while creating the media file ___________.
    The reason for the error could not be determined.”

    To be honest with you Chris,
    It is extremely hard to be accurate in assessing the
    solution to the problem you are having….Most solutions
    given to fix this never normally works.
    I can only assume that a piece of your media at that
    particular point at which render fails is corrupt or
    something..if you can try and use an alternate/replacement
    shot for this area and see if things go smooth.

    [Chris Franklin] “I’m using Vegas 6 and rendering as an mpeg2 with embedded audio. I render this way all the time with no problems.”

    Do you have a specific reason for renderig this way?
    The only time I render with embedded audio is if I’m giving a project to my local cable company as that’s what their playback server requires.
    Otherwise I render MPEG-2 video (DVD Architect NTSC video stream template) and AC-3 audio as this is what DVD Architect seems to prefer.

    I used to render separeately…audio to AC3, but it seemed like my audio was compressed or something. It seems that if I embed my audio, the audio on the final DVD is “louder”.

    AC3 is a compressed audio format
    If you use the template preset, it will compress the dynamic range according to the preset parameters. If you modify the parameters to dialog at -31, and LMP set to “none,” you likely will not notice a difference between original and compressed file.

    Thanks…Can anyone else respond to my original post? I’m still having problems. I’m going to go get a new external hard drive today so that I can have plenty of memory to see if that’s the problem.

    I bought a new 500GB Hard Drive yesterday and transfered all of my project files to the new drive, but I’m still having problems. Unless there’s an issue with my RAM or operating drive, I don’t think it’s a memory issue.

    Does anybody else have any suggestions on what I might try so that I can render the project as one file?
