After months, I’m still trying to resolve MainConcept render errors wigh GPU enabled.

[Steve Rhoden]

I simply stay away from this whole GPU confusing
process for now. When the dust has settled with
its Vegas integration and stuff, i’ll implement it.

Hi Steve,
I’d really like to get this working as it would be a huge time saver in the rendering process.

Anybody have any ideas?

Has anyone ever had this working with a particular graphics card or is it just not working period?

As far a dust settling, there is no excuse for this Steve, Sony does not get a pass from me on all the probs with 11.

I’m with you Lance.

I was on v9, skipped to v11 for all the new features. Unlike many of you who upgraded from 10, I don’t have a good fallback. Hence why I want to get it working in 11.

I hope someone pipes in. This has been an ongoing issue for a long time, one would think a solution has been found.

Trouble getting started at all? I had some issues for a short time. I had to make sure nothing is highlighted in the preset windows on a few occasions. I also save the project on the timelime, close and reboot Vegas. It has been working like it should lately. I have a Nvidia GTX460 video card.

There were some issues with both New Blue Titler pro and some BCC plugins but they have been resolved for the most part. I still need to call up New Blue from the Media Generator tab. From Video FX it is a crash almost every time.

Actually it works with my card for rendering but with limitations. I’ve done many tests with the same clip in Vegas 11 as follows:

Clip = mts file straight a/v no effects duration = 4 seconds

Render: Main Concept AVC Internet HD 1080p Default Template
Result: Some artifacting; 10 second render; 5,766 kb file

Render: Same as above except encode with CPU only
Result: No artifacting; 15 second render; 7,374 kb file

On the positive side, my preview is smooth and full screen – a huge improvement over Vegas 10.

Well Lance, if the dust doesnt settle with this GPU issue
along with a number of other issues (Why i am still using
Vegas 10.0e)….Well then the future of Sony Vegas looks
very dim…They then need to get their act seriously together.

To clarify, the render attempts to start but before the gauge moves past the 0% completion, I get the error:

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

Others have experienced this and I searched for literally hours on the net with no solution as of yet.

I also have a card that will supposedly work but will not.
And the only solution is to select CPU encoding only. Thankfully i found this solution in just minutes of surfing.
Yes, Sony Vegas 11 features are not so far supporting the hardware it claims to support.

[Gilles Gagnon]

Thanks for piping in Pete.

I’m not impressed with Sony on this one. It helps to know that you have the same card but haven’t found an answer either.

I wonder if it’s worth purchasing a card that is supported?

Does anyone have a recommendation for “good bang for the buck” card that Vegas will be able to take advantage of in GPU renders?

Thanks again to everyone, quite the helpful community this Cow! 🙂
