m2t to mpeg4 crashing Vegas Pro 9

VegasVideo wrote on 6/20/2009, 7:58 AM

I upgraded the other night and find that Vegas is crashing everytime I try to convert my m2t project to a mpeg4 file so I can make a dvd or upload to vimeo. I never had a crash with vegas pro 8 in the two years I used it. Am I doing something wrong here?

I found that my Vegas pro 9 crashes were from leftover install software files that had not been deleted after installs.
In particular I discovered that Au_.exe was the main culprit and once deleted Vegas, works as it should.

How I discovered that was in un-installing an older version of Neo scene a dialog box popped up and said it couldn't delete Au_.exe Googling it I found it is a component of a popular install program. search you computer for it and delete any found.
It may stop your Vegas crashes.

Info: OS is vista 32 bit on quad, 4gb of ram, 65gb raptors for os drive and Vegas, 75gb raptor scratch disk, 4gb of ram, 2tb, 2500gb back ups. File type is m2t file and crashing when trying to render to mpeg4.

Searched for Au_.exe. Not on my box.

If you're trying to render to the Main Concept AVC codec using 2 pass then it seems it is broken in V9.

Bob,
I re-read your reply and I unchecked the variable bit rate two pass box and went 2,000,000 constant bits and it seems to work ok.

That's my understanding as well. I just render out to a low loss intermediate and take that back into V8 or Ppro for encoding.

Bob's point is good - do the H.264 encoding somewhere else than in Vegas 9 since 9 is broken when it comes to H.264 encoding. I use x.264 my self.
