Hi,
Vegas 8.0b has been form me a real workhorse, and has run smoothly, both during editing and rendering. I never had any render errors - never!!!
But now hell ALMOST broke loose - I just got - for the first time ever - a fatal application error during rendering - in 8.0c (run on Vista 64 bit).
Application has generated an expection that could not be handled
I pressed cancel, then the next popup showed:
The exception unknown software exception (0x0000005) occurred in the application at location 0xf6b23ad. Click Ok to terminate...
So I did and that was it. I noticed that the render had stopped at frame 1350. I was rendering a mixed project, with both AVCDH, HDV and DV material (all PAL 50i at 16:9) on the same timeline. I had earlier rendered this project in Blu-ray format (1920x1080i PAL) with NO problems whatsoever. My project is set to equal the highest resolution of the clips on the timeline. My render was this time to DVDA compatible MPG2 widescreen.
At the frame 1350 where the render stopped and caused the errror there is only a straight cut between two AVCDH clips, nothing else. I changed this cut to a dissolve of 5 frames and started the render again. The rendering is running as I'm writing this and will soon end, as it seems, successfully!!!
All AVCDH files are directly copied from my SD12 hard disk, and the file extensions are *.m2t. The project was started in 8.0b and continued in 8.0c. There was never any "capturing" of these files, they were just copied from the cam HD to my editing HD.
I would claim that the conclusion of all this is that there is still some serious flaws in 8.0c that causes problems with AVCDH files...
I understand that many of you have aversions concerning AVCDH. I understand you only if you have had lots of problems. For me this kind of source was never problematic, my fast PC handles both editing and rendering in real time. I still insist using AVCDH since that is what Sony advertizes that this application can edit. Intermediate files are not a very attractive option - conversion takes time - and you need LOTS of free space on your HD's.
Anyone that have had similar experiences?
Is this purely related to AVCDH?
Is my explanation precise enough for someone at SCS to kindly comment or give feedback about the problem?
Does the error report tell enough about the problem for the SCS insider so that you know where to look for the problem and how to fix it? It seems at least that 8.0c has a slightly improved error raporting system...
If it happended once, then it can happend again. My render finalized (just at the time of writing this) with no errors, so I can now continue my work.
Thanks for the possibility to vent some of my steam :)
Cheers
