Can someone or the sony rep help me, I'm very instructed and really a paint of using this software. Been three months now still unable to produces a single disc! I asked for help before and I take the advised. Even since I bought this software I had invested into 4GB Rum, BD-RW drive,NVIDIA Geforce 9400 GT graphic card, double HDD. To make a project is perfectly well but the ending part either I use "Render As" or "Render and burn into disc" that is absolutely a paint in the xxxx. it always came an error or crushed which I don't understand why?????

I did tied few minutes project either render as or burn into disc, it perfectly well but with half and hour or an hour project it wouldn't works any all. is it time for me to bin this flamming software?

I understand your frustration, and there are many people here ready to help you.
But you have not given us good information about your problem.

I understand you can prepare a project, but are unable to Render it, or Burn To Disc.

You must say what steps you are doing to Render it. (What format? MPEG? WMV? QT/MOV?, and other settings).

What is the error message you are seeing?

Is the problem just with this one project? or have you tried other projects successfully?

cheers, I tried either "render as" or "make movie" of:
1, avchd 1440x1080 and 1920x1080 with sony avc 15 or 16 mbps video steam
2, sony avc 1920x1080 and 1440x1080 with blu-ray .......
3, mpeg 1440x1080 and 1920x1080 with blu-ray........
The error said "an error occurred while rendering" something like that or the whole program just gone.

I had tried many projects till I got exhausted, it cost me pain and paint of doing it. So far I have only successfully done 2 DVD in sony avc 1440x1080 format in 30 min disc, after that no luck at all, and now I have the BD burner yet unable to do it. My footage is 1920x1080 from sony camcorder and the still-image is Olympus dslr camera, I hope this will help.

Thank you for reading this.

If your drive is formatted FAT32, there is a size limit of 4GB. You need to format it NTFS to allow larger sized files to be saved on it. I suspect that the files you render are bigger than 4GB, so the rendering fails.
You can change this easily by reformatting the drive, but of course you must realize that you'll lose the data that is on the drive already. Right-click on the drive icon in windows and go for properties. Windows can reformat a disk, you don't need to buy any software to do this. Read the Windows help files before you start, so you know what you're doing!

There's also a command line method for converting from FAT32 to NTFS on the fly without formatting. It's quick and painless and you don't lose any data on the drive. I've used it a dozen times and never had a problem with it.

Unfortunately i can't recall the command off the top of my head since it's been a few years. I'll do some searching. You can try searching the pro Vegas forum for "FAT32", "NTFS", and "convert" and you should turn it up pretty quickly.

my file system is NTSF already, so, I don't think is the problem.
cheers.
