Anyone use Steady Hand with .m2t files?

Which profile are you using for your AVI file?
I reinstalled new OS and still same issue. I’m puzzled since I still have Sony YUV files that I rendered earlier that do playback correctly.
I did noticed rendered AVI uncompressed files do work but Sony YUV not anymore which is strange. The reported codec is exactly same but frames cannot be opened. I’ve filed a support case but not sure if that will help (so far had no success getting solutions from Sony).
One thing I noticed is that I’m able to open the AVI file in Sony so maybe this is a different problem than yours. In your case I still would try a small clip without any effects and see if you can play that back.

Here’s what I found out: if I render in Vegas 8 to AVI Sony YUV (UYUV) I get a playable AVI file and in Vegas 9 I don’t. I found the difference is in the format header:
Vegas 8 and Vegas 9 strf chunk:
7374 7266 2800 0000 2800 0000 8007 0000 3804 0000 0100 1000 …
7374 7266 2800 0000 2800 0000 8007 0000 3804 0000 0100 1800 …Note that offset 22 I see a value of 0x10 for Vegas 8 and 0x18 for Vegas 9. Otherwise the AVI files are 100% same. Couldn’t find a reference yet for strf RIFF chunk but I’m guessing it indicates the compression format. For some reason 1 extra bit is turned on 9 which makes for me the file unplayable.
I created a little program that changes that byte from 0x18 and 0x10 and it fixed the playback issue. I reported the issue with these details to Sony.
If this is the same issue as your problem I don’t know. Which profile did you choose under AVI? Sony YUV or other?

Earlier I had posted a question about why Steady Hand does not work for my m2t files. I just wrote their technical support and received information that it does not work for HD, and they do not plan an upgrade. Jim
