Vegas 8 crashing in 64-bit Vista

[Corey Whitley]

I think there is a 64 bit update on Sony Vegas website.

Also I had some crashing issues on long render projects. Someone told me to change a preference that is automatically checked when packaged.

Under general preferences, down at the bottom, un-check the “Enable no-recompress long-GOP rendering”.

I also started to disconnect from the internet when rendering and make sure all of my open windows were on the same monitor if using a dual monitor setup. Anything to put less pressure on the cpu.

Hope this helps.

I don’t believe your problem lies in Vegas Pro 8.

Without further information about the blue screen message, there could be multiple causes:
– your system is overheating under load. You could test this by removing your case cover and blowing a fan on it. If your render works OK, note that this is only a temporary fix and you need to get a better cooling system.
– you have a buggy driver. I had massive NVIDIA driver issues (BSOD with nvata.sys errors) which I resolved by rolling back the drivers (video and RAID) to Microsoft drivers. This assumes your motherboard has NVIDIA video/RAID.
– you have faulty RAM or mismatched RAM to your motherboard. Check with the motherboard manufacturer.
– you have a faulty HDD (it does happen, even for new systems – I had a faulty Raptor installed once)

Hope this helps.
