Jake, thanks for the tip, I am definitely going to try it. I have spent hours upon hours trying to find a solution to my various video editing software programs (vegas platinum 9.0, adobe premiere, etc.) that crash constantly. I thought that it was vegas so bought the adobe and am very frustrated to be getting the same crashes (“memory too low”, etc.) I have a new system with the following:
Dell Vostro Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9650 @350Ghz with 4.0GB RAM running 32bit on vista home premium with a 500GB hard drive. I still have almost 250GB hard drive available. Yet every video software I use seems to crash for the same “low memory” issue. Any more advice? -
That’s a cool solution. I’ve never had this problem, but I’ll remember it. Since I don’t do network rendering I hadn’t thought of this.
Note, however, that network rendering is for RENDERING. Not encoding. MPEG, AC3, MOV, etc are encoded – not rendered. (Which is why I never bothered to set up a renderfarm.)

I must be missing something here. What do you think that a render produces? When I render, Vegas produces mpeg-2 and AC3 files. There is no separate encoding step. My understanding is that the network render does exactly the same thing.
BTW, I might be wrong, but I don’t think the OP meant that he used multiple machines. I think he just told Vegas to use the network process.

Thats right, only one machine. The reason this works is that to network render the video is split into lots of different segments which are rendered individually, thus reducing system load. It then stitches them back together.
Sorry I cant help you too much, I am fairly new to video editing and have only just turned 14, but I know my computers! I got interested in PCs about 8 months ago and then build my PC 6 months ago. I’m still learning new stuff every day!

I say keep up the great work Jake! You obviously have an insight for this sort of thing and it’s people like you that help out people like us that are a little slower on the uptake. Thanks again for the advice and keep sharing!
