Just for kicks if you can, take out your video card and see what happens.

Otherwise, I hate to suggest it, have you tried reimagining your computer?

Are you rendering using GPU acceleration? I have a project with a video file and every time at 13% it gets stuck and just stops.

However, when I switch Vegas to not use GPU rendering it renders the whole project successfully.

If that doesn’t help, get a free program and convert the video to another format like mp4, and then use that file in your project instead of the avi.

Uninstall.

Reinstall.

Make sure you have the correct version for the version of Windows you are running (eg 32/64 bit)

If all else fails reboot. 🙂

But seriously, have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Vegas?

The H.264 codec isn’t already installed on your system?
You should be able to output to mp4 either by the Sony MP4 option or the Main Concept AVC.

So if it’s only with TITLES have you tried using the legacy text option?

The New Blue Titler apparently has some bugs in it that are being rectified.

[Rob Wijnhoven] “Interesting. How do you use the ramdisk?
– To read the input video files
– To store the compressed output video
– Other?”

All the above. Depends on the size of the project.

For other: I also have all my temporary rendered files stored there as well.

If the project is small enough (eg, all the source files and such take up less than 2 GB), I tend to copy everything (including the veg files) to the RAM disk, work on it there, and then when finished copy the veg file back to my hard disk (and any other source files which may have changed).

Now I always render to the RAM disk unless I know for certain the resulting output is going to be larger than my allotted RAM DISK (which doesn’t happen often).

It’s fantastic because it’s the fastest way to go, and there are no “drive bottlenecks”. It’s also exponentially faster than any current SSD/HD solution out there.

When I’m happy with the results, I copy the rendered video file(s) back to the hard disk.

I don’t have to worry about cleaning things up because when I turn off my laptop, the memory gets wiped. 🙂

If you have a machine with > 8GB of memory, I would definitely look into setting up a RAM Disk.
