Sony Vegas Pro 9 Not responding issue

[Dave Lozinski]

OK, before doing anything else, load up the project and choose “save as” to make a copy in case you accidentally screw up your project.

With that copy, see if you have the same issue.

Try deleting media from that project bit by bit to see which (if any in particular) is causing the issue as it could be a corrupt movie file or something.

I tried the suggestion and still having trouble. Today I received this message with a totally new project.

Name= Vegas Pro
Application version = 9.0e (build 1147)
Problem: Unmanaged Exception (Oxc0000005)
Fault mode: C:/ProgramFilesSonyVegas Pro 9.0File IO Plug-Insmcplug
mcmpegin.dll
Fault address: Ox23213144
Fault offset: ox00013144

Does this mean anything to you? Would upgrading to Vegas 11 help or should I try re-installing Vegas 9.0. I need to do something because my business is suffering with the constant Not Responding issues, freeze ups and shuting downs.

Thanks for any help!

“C:/ProgramFilesSonyVegas Pro 9.0File IO Plug-Insmcplug
mcmpegin.dll”

Looks to me like that file is causing you grief.

Doing a google search, that dll file is used for mpegs (encoding and decoding) :

My guess is you would need to download and replace that file. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original one first.

Did you install any codec packs? That might have corrupted the file.

Dont believe that I have installed codec packs that I know of…I will try the download and replace strategy and let you know.

[Rennie Cluver]

Should I try reinstalling Pro 9? If so, how do I do that and not loose any of my current projects?

[Dave Lozinski]

You shouldn’t have to worry about them if they are stored in a different location than where Sony is installed.

I appreciate everything you have helped me with…can you explain how I go about downloading the file that seems to be giving me problems (IO Plug-Insmcplugmcmpegin.dll) I am pretty sure I can find it under my program files but from there I am not sure which one to get rid of and which one to download to replace it or even where to find the download. I am pretty green when it comes to this kind of specific computer problems.

I’m running Win7 64-bit. Are you running the same version of Windows?

If so, when I get home tonight I will see if it’s on my system and if so, zip it up and post it so you can download it.

I am running 32 bit but anything you can help me with would be great! Thanks

[Dave Lozinski]

Unfortunately I cannot help you. that file is not installed with Vegas 11 64-bit.

We get the folder structure:

C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 11.0\FileIO Plug-Ins

In there we have an “mcplug2” folder but not an “mcplug” folder. In the Vegas 11 mcplug2 folder there’s no such dll.

So I think you’ll have to post again asking if anyone has it.

Or try a complete uninstall and reinstall of Vegas 9.

Unless someone else has a suggestion…
