dvd render time

[Steve Rhoden]

THEN there is probably an issue with one of the event (vidoe or Audio file)
you have on the timeline. And from my side i cant say which.

Not likely Steve. If this were the case it would crash at a consistent place. it crashes at various places. Each time I try, 2 hours or so goes by before (so far) before it crashes at various places.

and as mentioned… the render takes a looooong time.
I’m really stuck here as I have to crate a DVD for a client and can not.

Have you ever described *how* it crashes?

I get that standard dialog box with the “send” details to Sony option.
I’ll give the window title as soon as it crashes again.

In looking at the crash “details” it his ntdll.dll which runs when the crash occurs. Searched on this and found various vague reasons, no real fix.

I was hoping that the fact that it takes so long to render to mpg2 (or is this to be expected?) would tip someone off to the cause.

The “Send” to Sony is only an aggregate collection, it only alerts them to patterns or trends. We need to know what the error is *before* this window.

If it is an unmanaged exception then you have a driver problem. I asked you in another thread where are you located? There may be another Vegas user nearby who can help you get the DVD finished.

Thanks Stephen,
I’m in Toronto.
Before the window… I don’t get any message. it’s in the process of rendering and stops with the window. It just crashed again, this time at 27% with
“Problem report” (window title)
message: :Vegas Pro has stopped working ”

I showed problem details this time I have:
fault module: nvopencl.dll
which is diff than before. I did change my project settings in an attempt to resolve this. and upgraded to build 714 (I had the one previous)

The file opencl.dll is installed by your display adapter card. The prefix nv likely means that Nvidia owns this.

I think that you mean “nvopencl.dll”, not nvoo…

This is strange. My PC’s have NVidia cards, but there is no nvopencl.dll.

But if you turned off GPU in both places, why would opencl.dll be called in the first place? You *did* turn off GPU in both places? Also, have you tried updating your nVidia drivers?

If you are crushed for time, how big is your project (in Gb)?

Thanks for hanging in with me.
It is nvopencl…. As soon as I sent my last post, I corrected it (edited).

No I hadn’t disabled GPU acceleration since it was so slow, I thought if i disable it it’ll take days to render :(. Alas, you’re onto something because it’s currently rendering… faster! i’m at 37% and I’ll post again when it completes or fails.
Stay tuned.
Thanks again.

Q. my Nvidia card was from Gigabyte. Should I get the drivers from Gigabyte or Nvidia?

Gilles

[Stephen Mann]

I think the best source is nVidia. However, if it works, don’t fix it.

I don’t recall which processor you have, but I am running the latest i7 and nVidia cards. I really don’t see that much difference in render times with GPU on or off, so I generally leave it off.

Thanks Steve,
I have an i7 with the GTX 560.
Good news is that with it off, I can now render without crashing. It’s taking the same length of time as the video to render. in this case, the 2.5 hour video is taking 2.5 hours to render on my i7 12GB Ram.

The driver on the Gigabyte site is older than on Nvidia. I’ll keep the Nvidia driver.

How odd that so many SVP users turn off the GPU setting of Sony Vegas while this was hailed as an exciting new feature by Sony. So many problems with it. I don’t get it.
