    I can ONLY render files uncompressed!!! IT DOESN’T MATTER what codec I try to render with I ALWAYS get the following error: Error An Error occurred while creating the media file. An error occurred while opening a codec

    IT WILL ONLY ALLOW RENDERING WITHOUT CODECS AND UNCOMPRESSED!!!!

    Frustrating as it may seem, a little more info on your Vegas version and setup might help to get answers, also have you added any third party codec packs?

    Reinstall Vegas and disable your GPU…
