I had a similar situation occurr with Vegas 7.0e. I was working on a project that used m2t files and they were stored on my secondary hard drive which is internal. The project was rather large and at aproximately 78% rendering Vegas would freeze. No error messages were generated and task manager would just show that the program quit responding. I would then have to restore my work every time. Vegas always seemed to crash at 78% during the rendering process. I uninstalled and reinstalled Vegas 7.0e several times with no success. The strange thing is that I am able to go to my computer double click on the secondary drive and see the files on the drive. I then double click on the m2t files and the system seems to freeze. Everything appears to work fine as long as I am working off of the primary drive. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
