Render to 2048 x 1080 yields an error message
Hello everyone,
got a frustrating issue here, maybe someone experienced it:Using Vegas Pro 9 I’m making a movie to be screened in a public cinema house using Doremi server and Christie 2K projector.
I started by creating a new project ready for this, Means: 2048 x 1080, 24p, square pixel etc.
For several days I’m into the movie building it and everything’s OK.However, today I tried to render it, using the default template under “Sony AVC” and I got a message saying: “An error occurred while creating the media file. The reason for this error could not be determined.”
Does anybody have any idea about that, or how in the world can I render my movie to 2048 x 1080 ??
Many thanks,
Koby…We’re all under construction…

OK, I’ll put it another way:
I have a running project of 2048 x 1080.
How do I render it to the same resolution?

The Vegas CODEC system kind of sucks. Vegas often launches an external program (plug-in) to do the final rendering. Unfortunately, very little information propagates back to Vegas when the UI allows for a setting that the external program doesn’t allow, or worse yet, fails on.
It sure looks that Sony AVC is limited to 1920×1080 or thereabouts. I can’t recall trying anything larger, and sure, enough, in Vegas 11, I get an error.
Moving on to Main Concept AVC, I was able to render to 2048×1080 just dandy. I started with a Blu-ray preset (which probably don’t exist in Vegas 9, but you can use most of the seeings from the Sony Blu-ray preset), set the profile to “High”, and the resolution obviously to 2048×1080. I would be pretty surprised if you couldn’t render likewise to MPEG-2 at this resolution… not certain, though, there may be Vegas 9 issues at work, too.

Thanks Dave, That’s the answer I was afraid of 🙂
However, on a second thought – it’s not so bad, since
the cinema house accepts DCP file made out of TIFF’s,
not mp4, and that Vegas is doing well.I only wanted to render for my own inspections, and
surely I can do that with 1920×1080.Thanks again,
Koby.
