  • Can’t open .veg file ASAP!

    Posted by Tigran Sogomonian on January 29, 2011 at 1:43 am

    Hey guys. I have Sony Vegas 9 Pro and it had been working fine for ages until a few days ago where it started to get really choppy and started to crash.

    I was editing a montage and I noticed that started to get very high CPU usage notifcations about Vegas (something not happening before) and my previews were become unwatchable. Also, some clips I added into the project had black frames that sometimes appeared and sometimes didn’t.

    So I decided to uninstall it and to redownload it and to reinstall to see if it works. Problem now is, I’m trying to open the .veg file I used for the montage but the loading bar at the bottom freezes at 37% and the the program goes into an unresponsive mode. Then it crashes and the error report screen pops up, with these problem details:

    Problem Description
    Application Name: Vegas Pro
    Application Version: Version 9.0e (Build 1147)
    Problem: Unmanaged Exception (0xc0000005)
    Fault Module: C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 9.0\vegas90.exe
    Fault Address: 0x10BA38A0
    Fault Offset: 0x10BA38A0

    Now I ought to tell you that when I first reintsalled Vegas today, it couldn’t open my file and it say it could be corrupted. I looked for some solutions to this, and apparently you have to do update the software – which I did. Now, the error message doesn’t pop up but instead the loading of the opening of the .veg file goes to 37% and then crashes.

    I tried opening the .veg.bak (backup file) although that appeared with an earlier save of the file, which is not very useful to me as some work is lost.

    Can anyone help me with this, as I need to complete the montage by tomorrow!

    Are other projects opening up? If not check your ram or HD perhaps…just a thought…

    You might try moving the media files to another folder then opening the project and when Vegas prompts for the missing media, add them back one at a time and see if at some point Vegas stops loading. If it does, the last file you added back is most likely what’s causing the problem.

    If that doesn’t work and the backup opens then maybe the latest project file is corrupt somehow. You may have to start with the backup and re-do the work. Having something is better than having nothing.

    “Resorting to use of the backup file screams “SAVE OFTEN!””

    Use incremental version numbers too.
    Make a few changes, save as a new version, make a few more changes, save as a new version, repeat until project is completed.
