Error 0x80660008 when rendering with "Upper fields first"

Hi, i`v been getting this really irritating problem lately, basically when i try to render my video at Upper or Lower fields first, i get error message:

"An error occured when creating the media file (name of file)

Error 0x80660008"

When i render with Progressive scan, i don`t get this error, but i really need to render in either Upper or Lower fields, to get better quality and motion blur.

If anyone knows the fix, i would be extremely grateful.

Nvidia driver updates have recently been causing problems. Try going back to an earlier driver.

@Darek96

@Darek96 VP 23 will work with the newest driver.

You were right, I tested with VP 23 and it rendered just fine with the Geforce Game Ready Drivers 591.67, although the Lossless presets raise an error:

@Darek96 It's not random and this thread is about interlaced video.

You have to use driver 581.57 or older with VEGAS 15-22 as NVIDIA removed support for an older method of rendering. VP 23 will work with the newest driver.

But is Magix going to fix it for Vegas 15-22 users? Or are we basically stuck running our PCs on old GPU drivers?

What's wrong with using old GPU drivers with old hardware and old software? What do you expect from a new driver, miracles in render performance...?

I can pretty much guarantee they are not going back up to 10 years worth of old software to correct a single issue caused by nVidia. nVidia really needs to fix the driver so that it "fails properly" but allows all of the older software to still work.

There's no reason to think Magix will update a version of VEGAS older than 23. Keep complaining to NVIDIA.
