  • Sony Vegas wont render with fraps files and they get corrupt

    Posted by Carsten Christen on December 10, 2010 at 5:05 pm

    Hi.

    I just got sony vegas pro 9 a few days ago and im making a movie project for school.

    Everything works well expect when rendering..

    Ive recorded multiple clips from youtube with the program FRAPS and to begin with all the files work fine until they some of them starts getting red on the storyboard and black on the screen.

    Ive been looking through the forums alot now and i understand that red files on the sotryboard means that they are corrupt. I saw in a forum that converting the files into M-JPEG using the program Avidemux.

    I thought that would help the files not getting corrupt and make sony vegas able to render but it’s still the same.

    Though only one file got corupted this time when the files were converted but the rendering time still freezes and the time just keeps going up to insane amount of hours but the procent still stays at 0.

    I havent found any threads with the same problem but i hope someone here holds the answer.

    I really hope someone in here can help me out. I need to get this movie done in a couple of days so im kinda desperate.

    Thanks for reading.

    I recommend asking this question in the other Vegas forum as Fraps issues come up quite often and there are users who can answer your questions.

    I doubt they are corrupt. I never used Vegas 9, but I experienced problems like you describe with Vegas Pro 8.1 which was the 64bit release of version 8. I never could use it for Fraps. If you are using the 64bit version you might see if you still have the problem with 32bit Vegas 9.

    What release of 9 are you using (a,b,c,d, or e)? 9.0d and e as well as Vegas 10 have problems with importing fraps files. On a modern PC they should import quickly. If you are using version d or e or ever update to them and need to work with fraps recordings you should read my post in this thread: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/919876

    I just started using Vegas 10 in 64bit and I don’t think the problem you describe happens anymore but maybe the issue was still there when 9 was first released. If you are using an old version of Vegas 9 and want to use the 64bit version you may want to try installing the latest update. But again if you do that you will need to swap a file to work with Fraps recordings as described in the thread I linked to.
