convert YUV

[John Rofrano]

I think you need to figure out why Vegas cannot render to Quicktime. Are you using Vegas Pro 9.0d? Do you have Quicktime updated to the latest level 7.6.6? What are your render options? Maybe you are asking the codec to use a resolution that it doesn’t support? or have tweaked other options that are mutually exclusive?

hi John. Thanks for your response. Yes, I’d love to render to QT directly!
I posted a fuller description of my prob on the sony forums that gives the info you request:

a year ago, I was working on vegas 9 and being unable to render projects. the problem was never resolved despite frequent mails to tech suppoprt.. Now, a year later, I am trying to do version 2 of this same project, and receiving the same error message:
‘vegas was unable to render xxx project’ with no further info is little help, tho it seemed last year as if some sort of memory problem could be occuring. The only work around I found was to render thr project in regions.

I find it unbelievable that in this time Sony has not solved the problem. It is a well known problem that is discussed in the community…I saw one user write that he hoped that the 9.0d build would solve these problems. Apparently, it hasnt. I am rendering at 1648×768. With about 20 video tracks, but of these only 2-4 are concurrent. I use no effects other than the standard vegas ones. My machine is a macpro quadcore with 8g ram running vista64 bit via bootcamp. My other main machine, an i7 processor also with 8gig ram and vista64bit, falls over with the same non-informative error. We are attempting to render to Quicktime photojpeg max quality.

There was a response today:

When I’ve been in this situation the most pain free method has been to render the timeline to something like Cineform or MXF and drop that rendered file into a new Vegas project and render to my “delivery” format form their.

yes, checked, I am on the latest QT too!

on the other machine, an i7 with 8 gig ram, I couldnt render to avi pegasus codec. Next I will try a YUV avi render on that machine. So far, I would still love an answer to my orginal question of a batch conveter that can convert YUV avis to QT.

thanks
Matt

I am rendering at 1648×768.

That is a very odd non-standard size and not all codecs will support that. What codec are you using in Quicktime?

QT photojpeg.

btw, it rendered ok on the pther machine as YUV avi. Also, periodically projects at this size will render fine, as either qt or avi, but often they dont . its a wierd one!
