Vegas 8 Crashes constantly especially while rendering – Windows 7

[Al Bergstein]

I’m under the impression that on Windows 7 you are ‘supposed’ to be running 64 bit Windows 7 to run Vegas Video 9.0c. (is 32 bit even officially supported on Windows 7?). If true, then that could be your problem, running into a bug in the software. Also, you didn’t mention what CPU and how much ram you have in this machine.

I’m running 64 bit VV 9.0.c on Win7, with a quad core and 6 GBs RAM and it renders whatever I throw at it, at least for 10 minutes at a time (I’ve not tried longer). I have not had it ‘crash’ yet for rendering, though video issues, outside of VV have caused a few blue screens of death. But not rendering. And I’m coming off AVCHD into lower res output. Also have rendered Sony Digital 8 stuff on it with no problems.

hope this helps.

I took a group of M2ts files and put them on the time line without any editing and they render fine. Yet when I put my project on the timeline it crashes every time even when I stripped out everything inlcuding the audio track and just left a few clips.
I’m using windows 7 32 bit with Vegas 8 build 260.

Do you have any ideas?

Here’s the info I got after the crash:

Then I loaded the veg file and elimated all but 3 clips and it still crashed (with this message)

Hi Roger.

This is a noob grasp at straws, but I don’t know what else to offer.

Can you try either downloading a free trial of Cineform NeoScene to convert your m2ts files to .avi (at least as a troubleshooting technique)?

And/or can you try a trial download of VPro 9, if only to get you through this particular project?

Just some thoughts. I hope they help.
