Sony Vegas 12: Render As -> “An error occurred while creating the media file . Exception thrown by method called”
-
What exactly are you insinuating? If you are worried about me infecting the computer then I can say that any idiot who uses bittorrenting is bound to have the computer ridden with viruses; but I am not an idiot. I carefully select and choose,as well as scan the files whenever I download something.

It’s only 6 png images and one fraps file, which I don’t have anymore. I guess Vegas thinks I do have the Fraps clip left, and it needs the Fraps codec to view it, or something.

Regarding the Vegas project file – what program should I scan it with to see what codecs it’s using? GSpot?
John said to scan with gspot or mediainfo the media that the veg file references, not the veg file. All that the veg file contains is pointers to media files and your editing steps from the timeline.
By the way, exception errors are almost always driver problems.
NEVER EVER install a codec pack – especially K-Lite. They usually replace the otherwise quality codecs installed by Vegas with very inferior or defective ones. Codec packs are for gamers, for playback. They tend to do a crappy job of encoding.

You are not gonna get much help here with that sort of attitude bub.
Apart from your earlier response to me, John went far and long, trying
to genuinely help you and that was your final response to him?
Good Luck.Steve Rhoden

[David Falck] “What exactly are you insinuating? If you are worried about me infecting the computer then I can say that any idiot who uses bittorrenting is bound to have the computer ridden with viruses; but I am not an idiot.”
It has nothing to do with your IQ. The most intelligent person in the world can get infected by a virus or malware or keylogger by peer-to-peer sharing. 0-day means nothing is going to detect it. The virus really doesn’t care how smart you are.
Also, one of the favorite places to place a virus is in a codec installer. You tell someone you have a great movie and it needs this new codec and you place the virus in the codec installer and they happily install it. It’s the perfect storm and that’s the problem; you don’t have to be an idiot anymore. The new trick is to make someone very smart who knows better than to click on an email attachment do something that they normally would do, but make it dangerous.
I’m sorry if you think that peer-to-peer sharing is safe or that somehow you can keep it safe but you can’t. It’s just a matter of time before someone outsmarts you and then you have no idea what is really on your computer. I’m not judging you as a person, I’m just pointing it out that your actions may have consequences.

[David Falck] “Mind explaining how I check for codecs on a Vegas project file (.veg)?”
You can’t check the project file itself, sorry if that wasn’t clear. You have to scan the media files that you use in your project to see what codecs they use.

[David Falck] ” I guess Vegas thinks I do have the Fraps clip left, and it needs the Fraps codec to view it, or something.”
I think you found the problem. If you have a Fraps file in the project and you no longer have the Fraps codec installed, you now know why you got a “An error occurred while opening a codec.”. You need to install Fraps if you ever plan on opening that project again.

Sorry for my attitude – I was merely frustrated and needed to finish up a project before the 14th. Steve, I haven’t been back here since because I’ve been busy with school, but I very much appreciate the help I’ve been given. To seem ungrateful is that last thing I want to be!
When it came to P2P our experience differs and let’s just leave it at that, like Rofrano wanted to in the first place anyway.
But thanks again!
But to update on my Vegas 12 status. Rendering is still working fine. I’ve been keeping a log and installed various Windows updates, Quicktime 7, DirectX, etc – anything that I use on a regular basis (except Quicktime, I only use that for the codecs required on Vegas).
As soon as I install anything, I log it with time & date. I’ve yet to install MPC, but I miss it. VLC just doesn’t sit right with me. 🙂 -

You might want to perform daily incremental backups. I use Acronis True Image to make a complete backup of my C: drive to a folder on my D: drive at the start of each month. Then I have it perform a daily incremental backup which only takes about 5 – 10 minutes each morning. I can go back to any day in the last month and I keep 3 months of backups on an off-line drive.
