8.0c Memory Leaks?
Longtime Vegas user since the 3.0 days. 8.0c was meeting or exceeding my expectation until I started doing 1080P projects. This is to say standard NTSC DV works fine and still does.
I have done EVERY tip mentioned in this forum and others and I’m still having significant snags rendering a HD 1080P project when the clip exceeds two minutes. As for rendering compressed capture files (.mts from a Canon HF10) to highly compressed delivery packages (WMV) forgetta about it.
I’m forced to render 90 seconds snipits to a default AVI template HDV 1080-24 intermediate. Logoff my computer and rinse repeat. If I try to render another clip It nearly always fails to the point it’s reckless to try without logging off and clearing memory first. This particular project has a lot of overlayed pictures and titles that significantly add to the perceived memory leak issue. All pics are 72dpi either jpg of png and less than 3mb in file size. I can render the whole chapter of 6-minutes if I render just the .mts media.
System Drive Scsi raid 0 250gb with 20% free space.
Render Drive: G-Drive Mini by Hitachi 350gb 80% free space
System: Pentium Dual Core 3.2ghz with 2GB of memory and a Radeon X1300 video card.Vegas: Media manager turned-off, ram preview is zero, project media in list view. Heck I’ll even change the workspace color if that will help.
I’m not getting any system errors and the only application error I get is the infamous .net framework failure.
No process(e) are running that needn’t be. Have used EndItAll to help ensure this is the case. Don’t believe its a Codec issue as I can’t get any 1080p render to word irregardless of the codec selected.
Is 9.0 less buggy rendering wise?
Anyone have some snake oil that will cure the pain?Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

I made a 1920 x 1080 60p .wmv with Vegas pro 8 at work and it worked fine. The original files were almost 20,000 6 meg targa files for a 6 minute 1920 x 1080 30p mpeg video as Vegas wouldn’t make a 1080p60.mpg. It would lockup at 34% everytime, so I rendered it in halfs as 1920 x 1080 60p uncompressed avi. Then put those in a new project 1920 x 1080 double ntsc 59.94 settings and rendered that as 1920 x 1080 60p .wmv and it plays fine on an i7 Windows 7 32 bit machine. Thats the only format I found Vegas will render to at 1920 x 1080 60p and the computer play back without stuttering. At home I downloaded a sample .mts file 1080p60 and rendered it to 1080p60 .wmv and it looked great. I had to add a brightness and contrast effect to get my blacks back, but it plays and looks fantastic.
