Vegas Pro (8.0c) unable to render a 2hour HDV timeline? Any possible solution?
Till now I have been experimenting with short clips of my HDV camcorder (Sony HC9) with success.
Now I have captured two tapes with 2 hours of video (1440×1080 50i) put them in the timeline, a few transitions and a few cuts and there it is ready.
Nevertheless when I try to render to Blu Ray 1440×1080 50i 25mbs stream Vegas reaches up to somewhere 40% and suddenly the application closes by it self. I have tried disabling the antivirus, disabling LAN and several other silly things but no joy. My PC has a P4 3.4 cpu with 2 GB ram with freshly installed WinXP Pro SP3 and Vegas predicted a 7hour rendering for the 2hour timeline. No problem with time but it never finishes.
For the time being I divided the timeline into three 40minute regions and manually doing each region rendering which works ok and I will “join” them later in DVD Architect.
Do you have any idea what could go wrong and can you suggest an automated way to render the 3 regions in such a clever way so I don’t have to wait for one render to finish in order to start another?
Thanks in advance

I would urge you to watch your page file usage in the task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and see if it pegs out at around 40%. If so, you are using up all of your memory. If you have large pictures in your project (a lot of megapixels) shrink them down to a size that is equal to your project (if you are doing a lot of zooms and panning you will want to make the picture just a little bigger than the maximum you zoom in (so it doesn’t pixelate).

Thanks in advanceUltimate S (www.vasst.com) is a collection of scripts that allows for you to do back to back renders as well as a bunch of other things that would normally take you a lot of time to do, but faster . Excalibur may do this as well but I am unsure.
