Every time I try to render my video on Vegas Pro 18.0 I get the following message:
"An error occurred while creating the media file .Error 0x80131501 (message missing)"
Is there a solution to fix this error code please?

Maybe - if you give us (much) more information. Start at B and C.

You can try your luck yourself in advance with the following tutorial:

Have you tried running the program as an administrator?
Same problem here. Tried running "As Administrator". no change. Same system same video footage, Vegas 17 no problem. From https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/de/forum/important-information-required-to-help-you--110457/
Well damn! I just went back to Vegas 17.0 and I can't render anything. The rendering window opens OK, but as soon as it starts rendering a different message:
This really sucks. I have produced dozens of videos on this system with Vegas 17 and maybe a hundred or more with earlier versions and it has been flawless. I am a Vegas user for 10 years (since Sony days early). This is my first dead in the water problem damn it. THis all started with the installation of Vegas 18.0. Damn it!
Wow! I found 7 copies of Vegas 18 in the task manager. Once I killed all of these off, I can render in Vegas 17 again. How strange. By the way Vegas 17 also sticks running after closing it and must be killed off in the task manager.
Plug in or graphics driver causing hang on close?
I have no plugins installed in my Vegas. How would I know if the graphics driver is causing this? And if it is causing it, how would I "fix" it? I have had zero issues with the venerable nVIdia GeForce 750ti video system that has been in this machine for 5+ years, always updated (currently 461.40 01/26/2021).
I just uninstalled Vegas 18. I'll kiss off the $249 for nothing. Maybe I'll try it again later. I would like to solve the stuck Vegas exe when closing the program though. I keep forgetting about it.
How would you know? You wouldn't, but others are having the same issue which appears to be connected to GPUs.
Do you have an older Intel integrated GPU? What is your processor (Intel i7-XXXX for example?) Try upgrading that driver, too.
If you get a new machine or GPU try VP 18 again.
Your system should work on 17, though, if drivers are updated.
Minimum requirements: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/ca/vegas-pro/specifications/#productMenu
Processor: 6th Generation Intel Core i5 (or AMD equivalent) or better. 2.5 Ghz and 4 Core minimum. For 4K, 7th Generation Intel Core i7 (or AMD equivalent) or better. 3.0 Ghz and 8 Core minimum.
NVIDIA® GeForce GTX or RTX 9XX series or higher with 4GB
Thanks for taking the time to try to help, really.... I don't have an "older integrated GPU" as I posted above "nVIdia GeForce 750ti video system that has been in this machine for 5+ years, always updated (currently 461.40 01/26/2021)" . Also 24Gb of RAM. I don't do 4K (though I have done a couple in V17 on this underpowered system). The system is super stable and runs fine for video using V.17 and the other things I do like live stream 60Gz 1080p and capturing 60Hz/1080p from the screen for demos of astronomy software (my business). The "stuck executable" is my only complaint with V17.
What is your CPU model?
Hello,
had the same error on my old laptop with windows 7.
On my new laptop there is no error.
Do you have Windows 7 or older?
Then you have your problem there.
PS: Just registered here to help you guys out.
@BobDenny As @alexander-e points out it's possibly a Win 7 problem as the specs for Vegas 18 require Win 10.
Thank you @alexander-e. Yes my editing system is running Win7. I will hold my V18 upgrade until I move to Windows 10. V17 runs perfectly and I have lots of work to do ha ha. Thanks again everyone.
Has anyone tried reinstalling the driver to an older one? I suspect that Nvidia is struggling with miners and therefore the V18 cannot start rendering.
Also, if you have a rather powerful computer and the preview of the finished video plays without problems, you can open the view in full screen mode and record it using ShadowPlay or any other program.
This is a bypass.
Tools -> Scripting -> Batch Render
Not a solution but helps if you need to finish a project now.
BobDenny, Here is the perfect solution i recommended to someone else.
Install 284 - it works 😐

@Steve_Rhoden Thanks Steve. Now, can you also tell me how to view the Internal tab. Shift on preferences, doesn't work any longer, as I know about, but neither does shift on Options tab.....which is the new way, I get a black blank box the same size as you'd expect, but no text...just black..
