Accidentally canceled render at 100%

I left my computer alone for a few hours while rendering. When I came back, I assumed it was done because it was at 100%. I went to hit the "close" button but right after I hit the button, I realized I hit the "cancle button" instead. The "close" button hadn't actually came up yet....Vegas was still in the process of doing something (whatever it does after it gets to 100%). The thing is, my file that I rendered plays back fine. So my question is, what's the render doing when it's at 100% but is still not "done" rendering? And should I rerender or is my file ok?

Any time you are going to join two renders together, you should always start the second part of the render just before a scene change, and that scene change should happen BEFORE the end of the first render. That way you not only don't have to worry about a few bad frames at the end of the first render, but you also have a point (a hard scene change) where it is easy to make a cut at precisely the correct frame.

I once had my cat cancel a render after 5 hours when she decided to lie on the keyboard. Anybody want to buy a black furry mousepad?
