[adapted from Mad Pierre's post for Vista and Win7 (32 bit)]
I've posted this to hopefully help people who have the same problems others have had. If you are running any 64 bit version of Windows and are experiencing Vegas Movie Studio crashing when rendering (especially from HD footage m2ts files) then this may help.
I cannot take the credit for the fix it is a summary of advice from the following thread:

The fix
Download and install CFF explorer from www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php
Run CFFExplorer from an account with Administrator privileges
For each of the following files: VegasMovieStudioPE90.exe, VegasMovieStudioPE90k.dll, Sonymvd2pro_xp.dll, m2tsplug.dll, mcstdh264dec.dll, wmfplug4.dll
Note: Some of these are found in the FileIOPlugIns subdirectory. The Sonymvd2pro_xp.dll is found twice (once in the main directory and again under the plugins).
Open the file in CFFExplorer.
On the left side you'll see "NT HEADER".... "DOS HEADER"... etc
Highlight "FILE HEADER" under "NT HEADER"
On the right side you'll see a chart and in the bottom right corner you will see "CLICK HERE"
Click on that and a check box menu system will open.
Scroll down the menu list until you see "app can handle > than 2gig address space" and check that.
Save the file and close.
That should be it. Don't worry it's not as complicated as it sounds!!
Try rendering some movies in VMS that you had problems with.
