Sony Vegas 12: Render As -> “An error occurred while creating the media file . Exception thrown by method called”

[David Falck] “”An error occurred while loading file test.veg. An error occurred while opening a codec.””

This is at least a useful error. What codecs are used by the files in test.veg? It sounds like one of those is your problem.

How do I find out what codecs the file is using? It’s a Vegas project after all.

[David Falck]

Should I use GSpot and scan it?

[David Falck]

Yeah, figured it would work out. So far I’ve got

µTorrent
Adobe Air
Adobe CS6
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin
Asus Xonar D1 Audio (audio driver)
Foobar2000 v1.2.1
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64)
Mozilla Firefox 18.0
Mumble 1.2.4
Nvidia Graphics Driver 306.97
OpenAL
Vegas Pro 12.0 (64-bit, build 394)
Windows Essentials 2012 (Only Messenger)

Vegas is still working. I’ve also been launching Steam from my (E:) harddrive and playing some games – Vegas is still working.

Regarding the Vegas project file – what program should I scan it with to see what codecs it’s using? GSpot?

Drop the source files into GSpot or MediaInfo and see what codes they use. It has nothing to do with Vegas; codecs get installed in your operating system.

Yes, that or MediaInfo.

[David Falck] “µTorrent”

well… that’s an invitation for disaster right there but I’ll say no more.

Do elaborate. I’ve been using µTorrent for years and I’ve never had a single problem with it, ever.

There is no problem with µTorrent itself. It’s what it has the potential to download that’s the problem. 😉

Like I anticipated; MediaInfo and GSpot only recognizes certain filetypes; not Vegas projects. GSpot and MediaInfo doesn’t show any info besides the size. Mind explaining how I check for codecs on a Vegas project file (.veg)?
