do you have any idea why this works for me sometimes, and sometimes it doesn’t?

I may have stumbled upon the solution…..again. I found since using/fighting with computers since 1980, sometimes when your up against the wall, it’s worth trying the wild card long shot idea.

This is what I changed:

1. I deleted 3 video tracks that were set up as parent/child that had no video on them since I decided on an edit change.
2. I used the default name of the new track “new track 2” instead of naming it “TITLE test” or something. I seem to remember something about not naming tracts “Title”, or some such name.
3. I let Windows Task manager- performance run on top of Vegas as it rendered.
B-T-W it rendered in 1 hr. 38 minutes this time.
4. I held my mouth tight to the right.
it rendered fine.

THEN, I added another video track with alpha and tried to render the whole project again, leaving the good part of “New track 1”.
This time I didn’t leave Windows Task manager- performance run on top of Vegas as it rendered, and somewhere near the end Vegas just closed altogether leaving me with no newly rendered project.

So, I tried again, this time with Windows Task manager- performance run on top of Vegas as it rendered. IT RENDERED FINE.
I noticed the CPU ran at 100% both times, but memory was about 2.20mb on the first successful render, and about 1.83mb on the second.

For what it’s worth……..your mileage may vary.

I was rendering to a “new track”
Type= Video for Win. AVI
Template: HDV 1080-601 intermediate

I have 4 gig of RAM installed and it tested OK.

I know how to look at Task Manager and Monitor, but where do I find the pagefile usage and what do I look for? Thanks.

B-T-W I did send this to SONY.

Hi DSE,

You must have been out of pocket the last week or so. Could you please look down to my post on 6-9-08 and reply about x.v. color?
Thanks.

Yes, it should be. Post all of your Vegas settings starting from “Render as” so we can see where you go wrong.

I think you will get better DVD quality if you render in Vegas the “MainConcept MPEG-2” USING the “DVD Architect X?X?X?X video stream” template. Click “Custom” and set the bitrate you want to use (after you have determined it using a bitrate calculator).

Don’t use “Optimize” in DVDA. You should have less problems.

I just successfully completed a 1 hour 52 minute DVD-5 and used a CBR of 4944 and the client loved it. I was surprised it looked so good at that rate, I don’t usually try to squeeze that much video on a DVD-5.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I knew there had to be an easy answer, but I was always in the thick of it to risk really messing things up.
