You still haven’t said *how* the encode stops. Is there an error message? Does the encode alone just stop? Does the whole PC lock up?
This part is curious:
” and it still wont render that 30sec video intro for my show even on it’s own. ”Have you removed all unused media from the “Project Media” window?
Break that 30-second segment up into 10-second chunks (just create a region and in “Render As” menu select “Render region only”.)

I’m not sure what you are looking for, but if you encode to MPEG1 you should get a crappy enough video to pass as VHS.

Preview RAM has nothing to do with the GPU RAM. It is only used when you hit Shift-B to generate a preview in RAM.

I think you mean “Ram Preview”. The more preview ram that you set aside means that much less ram available for other functions in Vegas.
However, in some tests, people have found that having some preview ram resulted in slightly faster encodes. This tells me that something in Vegas wants to use some Preview Ram for a render as process. If I recall, the sweet spot was around 1Mb.

Kayley – 80-degrees is pretty good. My i7 easily gets to 100 degrees or sometimes slightly more. Enough to boil water…..
Make sure you aren’t running out of disc space – particularly the TEMP folder. It should be 2X your expected project size. You also need 4Gb RAM or more. Windows and Vegas will “run” with 2Gb, but just barely.Roger – If you never use the preview render (Shift-B), then you don’t need Preview Ram to be set aside. But, observations indicate that Vegas needs *some* preview RAM for optimal performance. I suspect that many versions long, long ago, some programmer needed some scratch RAM and used the preview RAM. So, set it to 100Mb. Do a test encode with it set to zero, then again with Preview RAM set to 100.

Well, did you open up the computer to clean out the dust?
Run CoreTemp while encoding a project and watch the CPU temp go up. All CPU’s have a spec max temperature, and they are all different so don’t ask me what yours is, but most modern CPUs simply shut down if the core temp reaches that max. Many will slow the clock speed in an attempt to reduce the power requirements before shutting down.Steve Mann

Kayley – Does your PC stop with any error message, or does everything just stop? If it’s everything and a reboot is required you could likely be looking at a heat issue. Blow out the dust bunnies and try again.
I keep my Windows 7 up to date and I am a very happy Vegas 12 user. No problems at all.

I was going to tell you about the plug-in, but you beat me to it.
To the best of my knowledge, the free version of QT is all you need.Steve Mann

I am seeing no problems here. I added 15 nested tracks of DJ mov files and see no problems.
(I am using Vegas Pro 12/64-bit)
Interesting that you were also getting the “missing plugin” message from DJ. I am as well and waiting for a response from their tech support on that question.

John, I know so little about using BCC8 that I don’t know what I don’t know.
Pixel Chooser is still a mystery.
