I had the same problem with my Radeon HD 6850 when rendering in Main-Concept .mp4. The renders either got to 1% or 99% and then froze. After many weeks of on and off troubleshooting, I finally found a solution to my problems. I knew it was a problem with the GPU accelerated renders, so I focused my troubleshooting on that aspect. It turns out that if you are on windows 8 (or I believe 7) you can completely uninstall your Graphics card drivers (if on windows 8 DO NOT use AMD’s driver uninstall cleaner utility as it will bug windows to the point where you have to do a system refresh.) , reboot and then go to AMD’s website and install Catalyst Control Center 12.8 and it’s drivers. Then reboot once more and you should have no more render freezes! This worked for me and I can t guarantee that it will work for you, but hey! it’s worth a try right??

Hope this helped!!

Ok, just found something really interesting Dave, I downloaded the “GPU Caps Viewer” Tool and it says that my card has no OpenCL Support??

It should have OpenCL support, and I am almost certain that this is the problem! But how do I go about fixing it??

I removed the Other Display driver via right clicking and hitting uninstall, as I had previously uninstalled the program that installed the driver. The problem still persists however, I go into Sony Vegas and there is no Graphics card listed in the GPU drop-down menu. Any More insightful ideas?

Thanks for the reply Dave. I looked under the Device Manager in Windows and there was the ATI Radeon HD 6850 and a Hamachi Display Driver (which I don’t know why is still there because I have removed Hamachi from my computer).

I also checked in my BIOS just in case, and the preferred Display adapter is set to my PCI-E (how the Radeon HD 6850 is plugged in to Motherboard). Any other ideas? I really want to get this figured out! Also I did take the liberty to install the ATI Avivo Codec Package, but to no avail, as there is still no option to enable GPU acceleration in Sony Vegas Pro 12.

Thanks,
