Where would you have gotten a copy a week ago? Vegas Pro 8 hasn’t been sold in years and is two version behind.

What is different about this second project? Does it use different type source files?, more source files? Do you have really large still images on the timeline?
What are your project properties?
What are the properties of your source media?
What are you render properties?
Also are you using Vegas Pro 8.0c? That’s the latest version of 8 and should have the least bugs.
Since you are running Windows 7 64-bit have you tried rendering with Vegas Pro 8.1 64-bit? (it will use more of your 4GB of memory)

(You are running windows 7 64 bit)..I have a feeling you have installed
a 32 bit version of Sony vegas. (which of course the right solution
is the 64 bit version of Vegas).Steve Rhoden

I used your advice on regarding image sizes to prevent the same thing from happening in SV Platinum 10 and it worked a treat. I thought that it was happening because I had the wrong render settings since the memory on my pc was never more than circa 50% utilized.
However having spent an age looking for a solution it is clear that this is a general issue which is further complicated since there are those of us using SV with machines having insufficent memory or cpu power and those that have more than enough RAM and CPU speed. Now that I know what appears to have caused this problem I can work accordingly but I would be cautious about recommending SV to someone which is a shame since its a great piece of software.
Regarding the install of s/vegas 64bit I have a couple of questions. 1) where can you see which version you have ? I looked all over my original packaging and it does not say that it is 32 or 64bit ready. 2) what kind of difference would it make if I ran 32bit s/ware on a 64bit machine and 3) would I be able to just download the 64bit trial and use my serial and key from the version I have ?
With regards to question 2) I actually used the 64bit trial download for a couple of weeks before I made the purchase of 10 from an online supplier and I have not noticed anything different in render speeds etc.
It will soon be sunny again…. I hope

Look in the AboutBox (Help | About) and if it is 64-bit it will say Vegas Pro 10 64-bit. If it does not say 64-bit than it’s 32-bit.
[Stephen Smith] “2) what kind of difference would it make if I ran 32bit s/ware on a 64bit machine and”
It would be just like running it on a 32-bit machine. The application would only see 2GB of memory because that’s all 32-bit applications get.
[Stephen Smith] “3) would I be able to just download the 64bit trial and use my serial and key from the version I have ? “
Yes, in fact just go to the updates page and download the latest 10a 64-bit. It won’t even prompt you for your license key because you already have the 32-bit version licensed on that PC.
[Stephen Smith] “With regards to question 2) I actually used the 64bit trial download for a couple of weeks before I made the purchase of 10 from an online supplier and I have not noticed anything different in render speeds etc.”
You may or may not see a difference in render speed depending on the codec. 64-bit is really for using more memory although there is a small speed boost.
