Low Memory Error
Hi everyone. Before I start let me give you my computer specs:
Model: HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook PC
Processor: Intel Core i7-2720QM @ 2.20GHz
Memory: 8 gigs
System: 64 bit
I edit primarily with ripped dvd footage, and I convert the vob files to DV AVI using MPEG Streamclip.
I bought a new laptop 2 weeks ago and installed my Sony Vegas Pro 8.0a on it, which I have never previously had this trouble with. Basically whenever I go to render a project (roughly 1 and a half minutes, maybe a bit more) to either mainconcept mp4 or wmv, the render fails and a message pops up saying “Rendering failed: a reason could not be determined” or “Your system is low on memory, try closing other programs” etc.Now I have read a few threads already that deal with this, and I have gone into ‘Options0-preferences-video- and changed the Dynamic Ram Preview to 0 with 1 rendering thread, but this doesn’t help. I did have Norton antivirus preinstalled o nthe computer and have heard this can be problematic, so I’ve switched it off or do I need to removie it completely?
I’m at a loss of what I can do, other than reinstall Windows and see what that does. Any suggestions?

Why don’t you import the DVD’s with Vegas Pro directly? This would take an additional render out of the workflow.

Vegas Pro 8.0c is the latest version of 8.0. I would update your version to the latest and see if that helps. You can also try Vegas Pro 8.1 64-bit since you have a 64-bit system with 8GB of memory. Vegas pro 8.0 can only use 2GB of memory because it’s 32-bit.

I’ve never imported directly from the dvd before, but I’ll look into this.
Thankyou very much for your suggestion about updating my software, I didn’t know you could freely do that without paying, but I have just done it with my serial number and now it seems to be rendering quite speedily. Thanks again!
