  • Vegas Pro 11 has stopped working while rendering

    Posted by Walter Blan on October 17, 2013 at 9:16 pm

    Hey all,

    Everytime I try to render something in Vegas the program shuts down (sometimes at 25% and sometimes at 60%) of the rendering process and a screen popups with ‘Vegas pro has stopped working’. I have already deleted Apple Quicktime and in my video-prefences ‘GPU acceleration of video processing’ is set to OFF (which also is the only option) and also starting Vegas as administrator and claiming ownership doesn’t solve the problem. Is there anything that I’m missing? I’m trying to render in MPEG2 DVD architect PAL widescreen.

    My PC specs:
    Intel i7 920 2.67ghz
    3 GB ram
    Windows 32bit 7 ultimate sp1
    ati radeon HD4870 1GB

    Can you please help me out?

    Why did you uninstalled Quicktime?
    And try rendering to just the general MPEG2 format and see if
    Vegas still crashes!

    Hey Steve, thanks for your answer!

    The reason I uninstalled quicktime was because I saw a video on youtube where someone explained that this might fix the problem, for some people in the comment-secting it actually did but for me it didn’t work.

    I just tried rendering in Program Stream PAL and everything worked perfect, quality on DVD is also good. This clearly fixed the rendering problem, thanks for that!

    Although I’m still not sure what the best settings for me are. I want to make a little documentary (about 2-3 hours) and I want to have the best quality, I shot the footage with a DSLR Canon T3i in 1080 25fps, what would be the best settings for a DVD and is there anything else I should be aware of?

    I always try not to be too technical when giving advise, And rendering
    your content to the MEPG2 basic template yields great quality enough.
    That is always what i use when rendering my DVD Content, i dont go
    overboard in tweaking internal settings unless its really needed….
    And along with DVD architect i often use ConvertXtoDVD to author my DVD’s.

    Hey Steve! Thanks!

    Alright, then I’ll stick to MPEG2. I’ve just tried to render a MP4 video for Vimeo but again during the rendering Vegas just shuts down and gives the same error as before. Later I tried it again and this time it worked (it got to the full 100%) but when I want to upload the file to Vimeo I realized that the file isn’t playable at all and contains nothing (it says 0mb). Clearly something is wrong here, no idea what though.

    Ok, try reinstalling the most recent version of Vegas and see….
