Vegas and DVDA and Acid all crash when rendering mpeg2
I have the latest versions of all these and never experienced a problem so far.
I don’t usually use the mpeg2 rendering of Vegas as I use other encoders but I needed it for a short compilation and I was suprised that vegas just closed at about half the rendering. I tried again, and again but still Vegas crashes.
I tried DVDA, the same here. I tried Acid, again the same. Sometimes my PC restarts also.I went mad and thanks to Norton Ghost I clean instelled XP SP2 and tried again, only Windows and Vegas installed. Well guess what, it still crashes.
What the hell is this? Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks in advance

It could be a heat issue! Open up your case and make sure your processor heat sink is not caked with dust. Same thing happened to me once and it was the heat causing the shutdown.

But I can render ac3, QT, I can render with other encoders, I can renders with Premiere pro 2. Why only Sony software? Besides it usually does not shutdown the PC. It usually the program just closes.

Ok, my PC was overclocked, and I returned it to normal. Funny thing, It was overclocked for such a long time and only Vegas crashed

How do I know if I’m overclocked?
How do I resolve this?
Thanks,

The problem with an overclocked PC is that invariably, the hardware can never keep up with disc intensive read and writes like Vegas requires. If you are going to overclock your PC, you need to be 100% sure that your hard drives can handle the thruput.
Try and render to a different hard drive than what the footage is on and you’ll probably find your problem dissappears.
