Vegas Pro 8.0c – AVCHD – Magic Bullet Looks – Rendering Issue
Hello all,
I have a 10 minute video that I am trying to render and make a AVCHD DVD. I have looked through several forums and cannot find an answer to why Vegas Pro 8.0c keeps crashing or hanging when rendering.
I have tried various rendering types such as Sony AVC, Sony MXF, MainConcept MPEG-2, Avi, and .mov and nothing seems to work.

My project is 1920 x 1080 x 32 29.70i. I am trying to output at 1920 x 1080 60i.
I have tried the following:
1) Unchecking, “Enable no-recompress long-GOP rendering”
2) Changing the “Maxinum number of rendering threads” from 4 to 1
3) Disabling all start up programs such as virus protection
4) Defragmenting my hard drive
5) Deleting and reinstalling Sony Vegas Pro 8.0c
6) Using stereo sound and 5.1 soundMy project has a 10 minute video track with magic bullet looks plug in, two songs, no transitions, and two pro titles.
My computer specs are the following:
Dell XPS 720 HTC
Q6850 @ 3.00 GHZ
4GB Ram
4 Cores
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
150 GB Raptor Drive (Main)

You might try to render->main concept MPG->Choose templet, Blu-Ray
1920×1080 60i, 25 Mpbs video stream.And burn on a BR burner or 10 minutes will fit (probably) on a standard DVD-R.

MPEG-1 or MPEG-2? I tried MPEG-2 and it would not render without crashing or hanging.
Thank you for replying!

Go to the basics first.
1.Can you render a small portion?
2.Does it crash the program or lockup and just stop rendering? Can you render other projects with no problem?
3.At what point does it crash during the render process?
4.Is is always at the same point or does it vary?
5.Check your CPU temps in the bios and download any free CPU monitor program and check your temps live.
their are many free ones out there.
6.If you can get it to render small clips keep extending the range until it crashes again. Then render smaller portions and once done with it all place them back on the time line and render again.
7.Check your Task Manager and see what is using resources. Also with the project open check to see what the paging file size is.
8.Delete all unused project mediaIf it is crashes with an exception error then it is trying to write to a protected area of memory. Pass that message along. You can check the “event log” in windows to see what was happening at the time. Hope something in here helps.

I was finally able to render the full footage. I made sure all startup programs were off, all services off except for Microsoft services. I decreased the streams to 2, which allowed the computer to run cooler. I crossed my fingers and I was able to render using .AVI 1920 x 1080.
My file was about 62 GB. Luckily, I just bought a new 1 TB hard drive. I then created a AVCHD by converting the footage in DVD Architect 5.0 to MPEG-2 and was successful in created a high quality AVCHD that plays perfectly on my Blu-Ray Player.
Temperature obviously played a huge part and I had to make sure all other programs (other than the essentials) are completely shut down.
Thanks for the follow up!
