Vegas Pro 11 64bit
all,
i am having some trouble.
I have had no issues with vegas rendering before. i get the very frequent crash, but to be honest I have got use to those. I have not had issue with the rendering of files before.
I have a i7 950, 8gb RAM and 1.2tb hdds with an nVidia 260gtx. drives and everything like that are up to date, as is vegas.
I am rendering mt2s files from a TD10. the files are 3d but i am only using the left eye for preview, project and render settings. there is very little transition apart from a standard cross fade.
i have rendered from the file before (it was only about 3 mins long at the time), however, i am now getting random crashing (no known error, no actual crash in vegas). the video is now about 25 mins long.
the video preview freezes, the file its rendering to isn’t increasing in size – its just dead. cpu drops to zero, ram is doing nothing.
it freeze at a frame 461 sometimes and other times at a frame in the first two thousand.i have turned off GPU and it hasn’t helped.
i am right now attempting to render to a second disk and render in widescreen DV PAL to see if that completes – preview RAM size is now down to 256mb; plus the GPU is still off.
anyone else had such issues before and how have you resolved them? its a complete pain in the ar53.

I am seriously out of answers and beside myself as to
why Vegas 11 behaves so oddball for so many users like yourself.Steve Rhoden

Steve,
Thanks for seeing / replying to this post. I can confirm that I did get it to render in the end. I did a lot of reversing of setup / customisation as i believed that the issue was one of the settings in the system / software.
It appears that the problem is actually the HDD.
I have a second HDD that I use for storing data (on the same machine). I rendered to that disk instead of the primary and the render completed – I used PAL Widescreen to ensure that it was as simple as possible.
This worked fine – albeit on the disk I don’t want to use for rendering.
I then decided to do a MP4 3D 1080p render (it had NewBlue effects, PSE8 overlays etc within the film this time). Again rendered fine – 20 mins film took no longer than 45 minutes to render.
I have ordered a new HDD and back-up drive (as both drives are the same age).
Its cost me more than I wanted it to to fix, but I am pleased I know what the issue is.
[NOTE TO PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE]
– Try to render to another disk and see if that works . . . I did for me! -

I really wish people would stop instantly blaming Vegas for hardware problems.

In fairness. The issue only appears when using vegas. Its not surprising that I drew the conclusion it was the software.
Don’t have ay issues with anything else on the machine (in respect to software) or hardware.Outside of the issue mentioned, I do have very frequent (and un repeatable) crashes of vegas. I will see if they persist with the new hardware and post back with my findings.

People should stop blaming Vegas for hardware problems…
Tell me seriously Stephen, Which world are you living in?
Vegas 11 has some very serious stability issues, everyone
knows this, SCS has dropped the ball on Vegas 11 and the
issues many are having needs to be made known so that they
can fine tune future versions of Vegas.
Because you are not having issues, you seem not to understand
and sympathize with the many users who are genuinely having
problems. Are you gonna tell all of them that they have
hardware problems, when Vegas is the only software acting up? c’monSteve Rhoden

No hardware problems spent 3 days troubleshooting this. Vegas 11 is a sinking ship!
