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.
