error creating media when return to V6

Paul Fierlinger wrote on 2/11/2006, 8:56 AM

Everytime I save and switch to another application and return back to Vegas I get this error message:
an error occurred while creating the media xxx.veg.sfapo. Some streams in the media file could not be opened.

At this point I have to wait for all my files to re-render.

This problem started after I had created a new media bin. I have used Vegas 6c for one day. Please advise a newbie.

What this is telling you is that the veg file you have included in your project is having problems finding all of its media. This can happen if there is unused media in the media pool from that project that has been erased. To fix this, open the veg file that is giving this error and resolve the missing media conflict. Either tell it where its media is, or select ignore missing media and then clean the media pool (with the lightning bolt icon) to remove the pointer to that media from the project. Finally save the project. When you go back to the original project that included it, the error messages should be gone.

Thanks, jr, I fixed it by using replace.
