3.0b WMV failure 0xc00d0bc4

(Changed the topic from VF1 to help this being read.)

I can't render any WMV 9 anymore. Getting error 0xc00d0bc4.

Searched this topic here & in knowledge base. Most refer to WinXP SP1, or Windows Media 8. I'm running Win98SE with Windows Media 9.

This is a NEW error. It has worked consistently and worked just last week with 3.0. Now it starts to render, and throws the error 0xc00d0bc4 message.

Downloaded & installed 3.0b. No fix.
Reinstalled the Windows Media 9 codec pack from MS. No fix.
Reinstalled Windows. No fix.

Any clues? Registry stuff? Anything? This format is important for me.

Thanks,
Dennis

Did you try installing the Microsoft fix that was mentioned in the Knowledge Base article #266? Though I haven't heard of this problem in Win98SE, it's possible that a MS service pack or WMP update has caused this to happen.

That fix is a newer Windows Media 8 redistributable that was included with Vegas 4.0 installs starting with rev b and higher.

Edit: should be article #266, not #166 (I fixed it above)

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I had already tried the fix recommended both on the forums and in the knowledgebase.

Since posting, I've also uninstalled and removed Screenblast completely, deleted all its folders, rebooted, reinstalled Screenblast, and re-registered. No change.

Also, since re-installing, I've re-installed the knowledgebase fix you recommended. No change.

In the control panel, under multimedia, there is Windows Media Audio under audio compression codecs, but no Windows Media Video under video compression codecs. (Present are Brooktree, Cinepak, dfsc, DivX, Duck, Indeo, iyuv, MS H.263, MS MPEG-4, msh, msyuv, Pegasus, PICVideo, pvmjpg, RLE, VDOnet, Video 1, and Vivo.)

One more edit to this message. :) I can use the Windows Media Encoder just fine -- not the lastest one, which doesn't run under 98SE, but the 7.1 version.

Bump up. Any further suggestions?

I had a strange render error recently, but I happened to see it in rendering both .avi and MPEG-2.

In my case, the render error would occur in the exact same place (e.g. the same frame on the timeline) regardless of what media type I was rendering to. Do you get your error when rendering to different media types?

In my case, I was able to isolate the problem to two text events that had a very small, apparently < 1 frame, gap between them. (Wasn't apparent until I zoomed WAY in on the timeline.) I joined them together and then the render went well, although I had to make similar changes at a couple other points on the timeline.

All of which is to say, if you try to render the same project to another media type, does an error still occur? Does the error always occur in the same spot in the project?
