Vegas 12, missing frames when rendering mpeg2
Dear all,
I’m having serious issues with Sony Vegas 12. After all these idiotic thing in Vegas I’m really considering going to another editor. Anyway, for now I can not change. So… I installed Vegas 12 on a clean installation of Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit. Always worked with Vegas since version 6, only skipped number 11.
I’m trying to render out a simple clip. Consists of a single file (uncompressed AVI), when I render it out with the default “DVD Architect PAL Widescreen video stream”. It renders out whatever it likes. I am missing frames on the end of the file. It renders out completely (according to Vegas). But the video file itself misses 10 frames to 30 seconds of video. What the…? What is wrong here? It is just the default template. When rendering the AVI there is no problem. Why the hell am I missing frames on the end of my Mpeg2 render files?
Could please anyone help me, I am getting desperate, and for now I need a beer… :S
Thanks already for your help!

I’ve never seen this – what is your source media?

Source material is standard AVI, but to be honest, it doesn’t matter what it is (first of all, Vegas should do what I tell it to do). I made a simple example, take a black solid, 10 seconds (250 frames in PAL), put there a timecode counter. Rendering it in .AVI will nicely give 250 frames. Rendering it in Mpeg2 (with the basic template, without sound), it gives 239 frames. At one point on a 4m50s clip it missed the last 11 seconds (273 frame to be precise)
Strangest thing is that if you look at Vegas while rendering, you see that the framecounter, counts till the last frame, also the preview screen shows the last frame (very quickly though). Only the file itself is not correct, which can be easily observed by dragging it into Architect or check it with VLC.
Really getting sick with this, since my deadline is approaching, and I don’t have time to render out a complete film (which is about 13 ~ 15 hours of rendering) 10 times to check it out.
My HW btw is a i7, 2600k running 4.4GHz with 16GB of RAM, GT520 videocard, data comes from one physical drive (E) and renders to another physical drive (D).
Thanks for all your help, really, really appreciate it!

For a workaround, why not just add some black at the end?

Thank you all for your help! Really appreciate it.
Problem with adding black is that each time it stops “somewhere”, it is never sure, where it stops. Moreover it is strange.
Where can you disable GPU rendering? I found GPU accelerated preview.

This really starts to get absurd…
Maybe one of you could simply try this:
New project, insert black solid 10 seconds, insert timecode, and render out in Mpeg2. When I do that, I get 9s12f, when I stretch it to 30 seconds or one minute, it is correct, with 10 seconds it is not. This has nothing to do with loopregion, that is not the problem. Driving me nuts here… -
I can’t duplicate it. I get 09;29 on the last frame. I tried different Timecode formats and the result was always the same.

Thank for the effort.
That is weird, what can be the problem? For me, it constantly does it, missing the last 10~11 frames.
