Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 – – Rendering Problems (Low Memory)

[Stefan Gilligan]

Went into system restore, and the earliest date to restore to is down as yesterday.

What could be the problem with the rendering?

[Norman Willis]

How is that possible?

Is there an option to choose points that are older than 30 days, or something like that?

[Norman Willis]

you will have to reinstall the programs since the restore point.

but sometimes that can be a blessing in disguise.

Nope, It lists 6 restore points

– Removed Vegas Pro 9.0
– Installed Vegas Pro 9.0
– Installed Vegas Pro 9.0
– Windows Update
– Schedueled Checkpoint
– Windows Update

Don’t know why it says removed vegas as the most recent, must be from when I installed 9.0a earlier today.

How large is your hard drive? I think that’s pathetic that it only gives you six restore points.

If I were in your shoes, I would pick the oldest point, and try it. If it does not work, you can always undo it.

Also, there is wisdom in a disk imaging program such as Acronis True Image, or Symantec Backup Exec (I think the home version may be called Norton Ghost). When you have a clean install, take a disk image on a separate external USB drive, and then put that aside. If you ever have a major hard drive crash, or just need to get a good, clean ‘drive wipe’ to return your system to fresh it can save you just hours and hours. Then get another drive to do daily restores. Set a monthly full restore point, and then daily incrementals. That way, if you know your machine worked fine last week, you can always roll it back.

Personally I also keep a backup of D:\ (data).

I’m not sure what else to tell you, than just to pray, and try the oldest restore point you’ve got.

I wish I could be more help. Perhaps someone else will have ideas?

Just tried a render on my desktop (I was on laptop before), it locked at 1%.

No idea why the both don’t work.

I am having a very similar issue, where i cant render or “preview in player” past 15% for what ever reason as soon as it gets to a part of the video where i have text music track and hd video at the same time it fails and gives me the same low memory report at steph

i have 4g’s of ram and have never had any kind of memory problem
when i look in task manager i can see that vegas is using wwaayyy more memory then anything else

any help?

With this “locking” issue I experienced the same thing. What I did to resolve the issue is I started taking media events out of my timeline one by one.

In the end, I found everything rendered perfectly when I removed an AVI file.

So what I did is I converted that AVI file to a wmv file and then everything worked perfectly.

That means it could have been either the codec which wasn’t working for some reason, or the AVI file itself was bad somehow.

Either way, that’s what I would suggest you guys try doing, especially if nothing has changed last week *that you are aware of* (as things are always changing on Windows systems).

Hope this helps.
