    No, I don’t have Word Perfect (not sure I remember what that program is).

    I can’t use System Restore…no restore points.

    I did not know that they still sell Word Perfect!

    Just want to make sure that you are using the normal Render As dialog and not a script. If so, try “Render to New Track”–Ctrl-M and do a wav render which will add the rendered file as a new track. Just see if you get the same .wdp extension.

    I really have no idea then whats going on with your system.
    But what i can certainly tell you is that something you have
    installed is hijacking your Wave audio files. Of that you can be certain!

    I hate to bring up an old post, but even today my Vegas Pro 9 under Windows 7 x64 still does occasionally this when trying to save to .avi format.

    Was there a fix for this? Even if I replace .wdp with .avi it still saves the file as .wdp. The weird thing is, if I go to the folder where the file got saved I can manually rename the file from .wdp to .avi and it will play fine but still strange that Vegas is defaulting to this .wdp file name.

    My issue is when I render a project using save as type Video for Windows avi.

    I wonder what the fix is for this?

    All of a sudden, I have the same problem with .wdp extensions for renders with VegasPro22. The only things I can think of, is that I have trouble with Media Player not working, saying “Class Not Registered”. To resolved this, thinking is a registry problem, I followed a procedure in the CMD prompt to register the dlls in the registry. I expect that’s what caused it, but I don’t know how to fix it.

    Hello! It seems like there is a registry issue indeed.
    This is what I recommend to return things to normal:

    – Undo DLL Registration Changes: If you manually registered certain DLL files in the registry, it’s possible that a misstep occurred during that process, causing system associations to get mixed up. You can try reversing this by unregistering those DLLs.

    Open the Command Prompt as Administrator (right-click and select Run as Administrator).

    Type the following commands to unregister the DLLs (substitute with the name of the DLL you registered): regsvr32 /u (dllname).dll

    – Re-register the Correct DLLs:
    If the “Class Not Registered” error persists even after unregistering, it may be worth trying to re-register the necessary DLLs to ensure everything is correct.
    The command you need for that is: regsvr32 (dllname).dll

    You can also try re-registering some other key Windows Media Player and audio-related DLLs:

    regsvr32 jscript.dll

    regsvr32 vbscript.dll

    regsvr32 mshtml.dll

    I hope this helps!

    Thank you for your insight. I will try to get help from someone here more knowledgable and you are leading us, I believe, in the right way. Unfortunately I used a script to make the changes, and I will first of all try to find the same one again, and then we will proceed from there. Hopefully I will be able to post in a few days with results.

    I was able to fix things by doing a System Restore from a day or two before, which also restored the changes in Registry. I still don’t know why Media Player doesn’t work (“Class Not Registered”) but I primarily use other players anyway. Thanks.
