Error rendering MP4

[Steve Rhoden]

What version of Vegas are you using?
Ive heard similar complaints with this in Vegas 11.

I’ve gotten that a few times as well. No idea what caused it, but it usually went away on its own.

Are you getting this error using one of the build-in templates?

Usually an unknown error when rendering can be caused by selecting rendering options that are incompatible. Vegas will happily allow you to select options that don’t work together. It’s best to stick with the templates and not change them unless you are certain of what you are changing.

Hello Again
Thanks for all your input
Yes John I tried other MP4 templates without changing them: (I tries Sony Internet 1080p and 720p) still got the same error?

And yes I am using Vegas pro 11

Does it give you the error right away or does it render for a while and then give the error?

It errors right away..
As soon as I click on “Render” the render dialog box appears then before the blue line comes it shows the error box

[Peter Brown] “It errors right away..”

That’s usually a bad template but if all the templates are doing that it could be another problem. Do you have any codec-paks installed like K-Lite? It could be that some other codec has replaced the Vegas AVC codec and is causing problems.

I could not render anything in a new install of VP11, did a reinstall with deleting all the downloaded codecs and now it works fine.

…and I know we sound like a broken record when we keep asking people if they have any codec-paks installed but they really do mess up your editing PC and should be avoided unless you’re building a multi-media PC for playback and not editing (which is what they are intended for).

Thanks Malcom for reaffirming this. 🙂

In my case I believe this problem began with I installed a new version of my ATI RADEON HD4500 drivers.

I found out that there is a SYSTEM tab in the template settings with a single button. ‘CHECK GPU’. The button tells me that ‘OpenCL is available’.

Thus I concluded that the ATI driver installed the OpenCL thing, and now Vegas was trying to use my GPU to accelerate the conversion resulting in some crash in the renderer.

Solution: in the ‘video’ tab of the settings, there’s a Encode Mode setting. You can set it to ‘render using CPU only’. It solved the problem in this case.
