    This strategy doesn’t seem to be working either…
    Although the first time I tried to render it, it froze at 34%, which is pretty awesome, now it just continues to freeze RIGHT at the last frame of generated media, right before a transition into a piece of video.
    Could that mean something?

    Okay, so I just tried rendering JUST the generated media, up to the point where it usually freezes, right before the actual video starts. But it still didn’t work. I got this message:

    So… I’m not sure what that means.
    Any ideas?

    EDIT: Okay, so I’ve definitely tried everything. I’ve tried rendering the newly avi-rendering clips just up to the part where it freezes, I’ve tried rendering it past that part in sections. I even went back to the originall WMV version of the project and tried it both ways as well.
    Recently it keeps freezing at the end of all the generated media, right before the first video clip, as I’ve said before, but if I try to render the whole thing, it doesn’t freeze there, just randomly.
    And each and every time it freezes the Elapsed Time meter kept rising while the Approximate Time Left meter kept reducing….
    Hm.
    I’m really confused.
    And I hope you understood all that! Lol.

    It is possible that the project is corrupt in some way because normally generated media renders fine. If you were doing everything with AVI’s, I am confused by this line in the dump:

    > 0450F0EC: 6FFED3E2 6FFC0000 + 2D3E2 (wmvdecod.dll)

    That says that the WMV decoder is being used. Why would that be if there is no longer and WMV media in your project? Could it be that there is a small sliver of WMV file hiding behind a generated media event on the timeline? I don’t know. You really need a Sony Tech to read these dumps (maybe it was just in memory from something else you were doing?)

    At this point I would contact Sony tech support. You’ve tried everything imaginable. Maybe they can look at your project file and tell you what’s going on? I just don’t know what else to try.

    Is there any specific way to tell if the project is corrupt and not just one specific file?

    And I’m not sure why that specific dump showed up. Maybe I am not re-rendering the files correctly?
    This is what I do: I take EVERY piece of video media in the project and place it in the section that it says to drop the multimedia in SuperC. Then I clicked “Encode Active Files” and it just rerenders them I guess. It doesn’t give me the option to rename them or anything… When I’m back in my project, I just go to the Project Media section, select the first piece of media and click “replace” like you instructed and I replace it with the same file. It’s not renamed or anything so I just go to the same file in my documents and replace it with that. It still says .wmv, but I didn’t pay much attention to that because I apparently rerendered them to AVI, right? And because it doesn’t change the name it would still be known as .wmv, correct?
    – Sorry if that didn’t make much sense.

    And I checked all of the generated media files and there are no other media files I am missing.
    I rerendered all of the pieces of media again and tried to render up to 30 seconds of the video again. It got up to the SAME piece of generated media and then entire program just ended. It didn’t freeze. It didn’t give me a warning message. It didn’t do anything. It just shut off and my computer went back to the desktop.

    I tried it again. It just froze there…. So.. it seems sparatic.

    If you have any ideas now, I’d be happy to hear them, but if you have a number or something where I can reach Sony Vegas Tech., that would be awesome.
    Thanks so much for everything!

    > It still says .wmv, but I didn’t pay much attention to that because I apparently rerendered them to AVI, right? And because it doesn’t change the name it would still be known as .wmv, correct?

    No. They should NOT say .wmv… they should say .avi. This is your problem. Remember the settings I said to use earlier in this thread?

    1. Output Container: avi
    2. Output Video Codec: M-JPEG
    3. Output Audio Codec: WAV-(pcm 16 little-endian)

    [x] MEncoder

    Video: (no change)
    Aspect: 4:3
    Frame/Sec: 29.976

    Audio: (no checks)
    Sample Freq: 48000
    Channels: 2

    The files will have a .avi extension. If they don’t you’re doing something wrong. Then replace all of the .wmv files with .avi files. There should be no .wmv files anywhere in your project. I know it’s frustrating but try again.

    I just thought I would show you the finished product…
    It’s dedicated to you, although it might not mean that much because you don’t understand the show or anything, but you have no idea how grateful I have been for ALL of your help. You’ve been so incredible!

    Nicely done… good pacing… I love it. The selection of music was great too. I like the way you used the white flashes in there. I’m so glad that it finally rendered for you. Now you have a working formula. When you download these videos, immediately convert them to MJPEG AVI files before starting your next project and you should be all set.

    You keep it up. You have talent. Don’t let it go to waste! (maybe your next project can be a graduation photo montage of your class though the years… makes a great keepsake) 😉
