Hello There, I wonder if you could advise on this one please?
I have Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum version 8.
I am running a Dell Dimension desktop PC with the following specs.
CPU Pentium (R) D CPU 3.00 GHZ 2.99GHZ
356 GB of space on Hard Drive
RAM 3.50GB
Windows XP platform.
The video project is stored on a 2TB off-board external hard drive
I have created a compilation video for my sons 18th Birthday which has been compiled from clips converted from camcorder tapes to digital files (avi, wmv) from Windows Movie Maker, other files from various camera sources, together with some photographs in format.
I have used 4 video tracks and 2 audio tracks in the project.
Playback is reasonable, a little jumpy in places, but that could possibly be my RAM?
I have 4 GB of RAM but XP only recognises 3.5.
The issue I have is when using the “Make Movie” option. I want to create a DVD of the project and I understand that Vegas will render the project to a selected format (in this case PAL DV), render it and then send it over to the Sony DVD Architect suite.
My problem is on rendering during the “Make Movie” process. It keep on getting stuck at around about 50%…I have got it to 64% before it sticks.
I have looked at some forums and, as suggested, have reduced the Dynamic Ram Preview to zero in video preferences and reduced the number of rendering threads to 1.
This does not seem to make a difference….it still keeps on sticking.
Other forum suggestions I’ve read advise on turning off GPU, but I cannot see this option in preferences.
I would appreciate any help on this as I’ve spent countless hours on this!!!
Alternatively, is there any other way of converting the Sony vf file to another format so I can burn to DVD with another program?
Thanks
P.
