    Do you have Quicktime installed?

    My car won’t start. What can I do to fix it?

    All snark intended, you ask a question that could have a hundred answers because you aren’t telling us anything about the project: What’s the source media, which “render as” template are you using, had it worked before, is GPU support enabled, do you have enough hard-disk space, have you recently changed any hardware, software or drivers?

    well, how am I supposed to know what to look for if I don’t ask? 🙂

    the source media are mp4 and mov files, 1920*1080 from canon DSLR, 29 fps.

    no GPU processing, plenty of HDD space.

    Well try reinstalling Vegas, and make sure its the newest version (Build 373).
    And if you have any Codec packs installed, un-install them first.

    already did that. No good.

    How do I know what codecs are installed and how to I alter that?

    Did you ever install the K-Lite Codec pack?
    What version of Quicktime do you have?
    Did it ever work before?
    Do other renders work with the same media?
    What CODEC are you trying to render with? (MOV is just a container.) Alternately, what “Render As” template are you using?
