Although it has to be said, I feel lucky even getting that as usually the ignorant piece of software that it is, doesn’t even give me the courtesy of that, it’ll just crash out, mid-render. I am using MBL a lot though, but that shouldn’t matter on my machine really:
Quad Q9550
8Gb RAM (Corsair)
Asus P5Q-E
XFX G9600 GSO
Terabytes of HDD room

I’ve tried everything I can think of, searched thousands of forums and submitted a dozen support forms,to both Sony and Red Giant. The latter being the most responsive and even letting me try out 1.2 before buying, to see if it solves my problem.It didn’t. It leaves me to believe that this is a Vegas/Windows problem. Good job I trialed this software before buying it. I think after this, I’ll end up sticking with FCP. Vegas has got promise, but it’s nowhere near as solid it seems.That is unless anyone knows how to solve this irritating problem, ’cause I’m just about done.

Tried:
Reinstalling Vegas different versions of 8.0)and Windows(x86 x64 vista xp)
Upgrading .net Framwork
Upgrading all Drivers
Upgrading MBL 1.2
Changing Rendering Threads
Removing Jpgs
Reinstalling all drivers
Trying it on different computers
Closing preview monitor

Probably more things. I refuse to split the project up or render supposed ‘troublesome clips’ ’cause they don’t trouble any other editing software and they don’t even trouble Vegas sometimes either. I want maximum quality and want to limit compression.
