SVP 11 Crash, Crash, Crash!!!
-
If you don’t already have a good disk-image backup (something like Symantec Ghost), I’d advise getting one and taking a snapshot before you start using the long knives on your computer.
Ghost has saved my bacon a bunch of times. Last year I had horrible problems, DVD architect kept crashing, nothing I did seemed to help. Although the problem ultimately turned out to be a bug with DVDA that was fixed with build 133, during troubleshooting I mucked things up. I dove into the registry, ripped out MS c++ redistributable, .NYET, tons of stuff that did not help but just broke things. Lucky for me I had an image I went back to.

These weird type of issues are often due to an installation of something you don’t even remember doing. Usually some sort of driver interaction. Not sure if you tried to uninstall the nvidia driver and reinstall. Also you can try to boot in safe-mode and see if Vegas still crashes, and if not then it’s probably driver related. Finding a bad driver is difficult.

The thing I’d do is to first deinstall the NVIDIA driver(s). Lately you get the whole Stereo whatever mess. Then reboot, see what Windows installs as default from the driver store, reboot. Then I’d get the latest off nvidia.com, do a custom install, and install ONLY the graphics driver.

[I bought Mercalli v2 stabilizer last week…]
Malcolm,
Mercalli V2 wants you to install the K-lite codec pack. Did you?
That may very well be your problem if your system was previously stable.
That codec pack is known to cause serious issues with Vegas.
I, too, have Mercalli V2 installed but I did not install that codec pack.
Cheers for now,

I was thinking of making a “clone” of my C drive, to reinstall if things went south, has anyone done this?

Yes, I was dumb, installed the codec pac and the “player” which changed all my clip ikons, strange. I uninstalled the player and codec pac and things are still weird.
I was able to render an old video I cut months ago, I will now try and swap clips on my timeline to see if any of my media is corrupted. VP seems to crash on the first clip, just after titles, and i’m using the legacy titler, found another post where the new one has issues.
Fortunately the client is understanding, and I can deliver later this week, having only one edit system is not a resilient way to work! That’s why I’m thinking a cloned C drive sitting on the shelf may be a good strategy, in lieu of another workstation.
Cheers,
Malcolm

[Malcolm Matusky] “I went back to an earlier “restore point” and windows could not complete the restore, some cryptic error message, naturally zero help.”
This usually means that a system update is incomplete, or it is too far in the past and other updates since then are incompatible with that restore point.
If you go to the Control Panel, Programs and sort on the install date, look for something that installed about the time that the crashes started.

Malcom, that is what I meant with Ghost Backup. A clone, will really save your bacon if you mess things up troubleshooting. I use Ghost, but there are a lot of products out there. XXCOPY can sort of do it, is free.

Yo have to reinstall Vegas to replace the bad codecs. Uninstall does not remove codecs.

I’ll try this again, I think I reinstalled vegas before removing the codec pack.
I thought this was a cineform issue, I have been transcoding my clips, but I spend a day+ relinking all my clips back to the H.264 camera originals and regraded the project. Trying to render this morning was still frustrating. Crash, crash, crash!
I tried using 0,1,10 for the preview ram box, crashed with all settings.
I set my project preferences to exactly match my render parameters, still crashing.
This is a disaster for me, project was due on Monday, UGH! computers!!!
