Strange goings on in SVP10 still happening – what is causing this?
I redid the entire edit, saved it in a new veg file, opened and closed the file several times last night to test. All OK. Shutdown the PC but when I re-opened the project today, the gremlins have returned and trashed my edit.
Any serious technical suggestions other than SVP10 has kinks in it? This is seriously causing me concerns in delivering my products.

Did you check the backup file that Vegas saves automaticly (unless you have turned it off)?

Yes, Theo. It is affected as well. Thanks for the suggestion. I have no option but to resort to rendering out the edit as I finish it to just to 2 files: 1 with and 1 without the added audio track and hope I don’t get requests to change the edit too much.
I tried saving the file with media copied under ‘Save As’. SVP10 completes the first pass of the save, gets to 99% then crashes. I have sent the problem reports to Sony as suggested by the dialog box.
The strange thing is that all is well with the projects until I restart the PC. It’s less than 6 months old and chkdsk revealed nothing. I thought I might have cross-linked files. In my other post, I mentioned it was repeating clips. It is only selecting sections at random from the first 9 minute clip and replacing video in clips 4 until 8 which is further along the time line, all the way to the end of the segment. It repeats the rogue clips as well. Video edited from clips 1-3 remain undisturbed. This is very peculiar.
Anyway, rendering out the edit when I finish is better than having to start all over. It does not appear to have affected my other projects, so perhaps this particular veg file is corrupted. If it starts spreading to my other projects, I’m in deep ****.

Sounds like a computer problem.
Vegas is non-destructive. That means that your media is never changed. All editing is recorded in the veg file. So, if your PC is trashing the veg file, then make multiple copies of it.Steve Mann

The autosave function of Excalibur is very usefull for this, because it can make incremental back-ups.

Sorry to hear that the problem still exists for you Nigel…Im here
wondering as Stephen said if something is amiss with your system,
because its when you restart things go wrong…its
hard to hit the nail on the head.Steve Rhoden

Sounds like some of the issues we’ve been having with some plugins. Any chance a strange plugin could be the culprit?

It appears to be disk related because the system dismounted and remounted the volume during chkdsk (scan for bad sectors) and the problem reappeared without the reboot. I am running RAID 1, so there could be a problem with mirroring.
There are a few disk controller errors appearing in Windows event viewer that I am investigating, but some of those errors last appeared way before this problem started, appeared occasionally across different disks at different times, and have not occurred at all during this most recent event. Possibly a red herring.
Otherwise, I have very little to go on. I have rendered the project and left it at that.
Thanks for all your help.

Why are you running chkdsk?
If your computer runs it automatically every time you start the PC, then you have some real serious PC problems.Steve Mann

I ran it manually.
