Yes, and no. Depends what codec you're using. If you're referring to Sony AVC's encoder which is very crashy with full HD encodings, then yes, this bug is still there. But there's a workaround, by enabling Vegas to use 3 GB of RAM instead of its default 2 GB. Then, the encoder doesn't run out of RAM as easily, and renders go through. You can apply the same trick on VMSP9 as well, it's well documented many times on this forum.

Alternatively, you can just use another codec. The big advantage of VMSP10 is that allows "custom" MainConcept MP4 renders, which are much more stable than Sony AVC's.

How can you get it to use more memory? My computer has 12GB of RAM in it and I've never even used 4GB. VMS10 is the only thing I run that is memory-intensive, so I'd like to use as much as possible. Thanks!

Do a search on this forum. There's a detailed explanation how to hack Windows to allow apps to use more RAM.

It does not crash for me. I just finished creating a completely full Blu-Ray disk comprised of 18 separate HD (1920x1080) video files that I rendered with the Sony AVC codec. My system is Win7-64 with 6GB RAM. I must have done more than 30 individual renders from VMS10 and never had a problem.

I decided to try and crash it by running two simultaneous render using the Sony AVC type but internet 1920x1080-30p template. Both videos were about 1 hour long. Surprisingly, rendering both at the same time did not slow down the rendering process. It still took about 7 hours. I woke up the next morning and both rendered 1080p mp4 files were perfect. Previously, I normally render to the AVCHD template but my new Samsung LED TV will not play back .m2ts file so the .mp4 template was the best compromise since both the PS3 and the TV will play them.

Ever since I did the CFExplorer fix(not sure it is even needed for VMS10), both VMS10 and DVDAS 5.0 has been flawless in 1080 rendering and blue ray creations.

I have similar experiences. I have rendered up to 4 projects to Sony AVC 1440x1080/60i from 1440x1080 AVCHD footage overnight with no issue. Although, at least on my computer, projects that render in about 1.5 hours take up to 4x longer to render (but then again there are 4 projects rendering simultaneously). It is all overnight, so no issue there!
