MPEG2 Bitrate crashes above 2300

When I render Mpeg2's from the timeline I cannot get the to render above 2300kbs/sec
and then only with VBR.This problem occurs always in the latter half of the render mostly towards the end and it has occurred on every Mpeg2 render I have done.Explorer and Systray are the only programs running besides Vegas. The disk has been defraged.Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.Thanks for any help.

Are you using Vegas the 3.0c update?

Yes I am using Vegas3.0c.

Your problem could be due to a problem source file on the timeline. Please create a new, clean project, add a single text event to the timeline. Try to encode that using the MPEG settings you have had problems with. Does Vegas finish the encode?

Idid the test you said. When I put it through at 2600 CBR it went through but I tried it at 4000 CBR and it crashed, maybe thats too high but I did want to try an XSVCD. Thanks for keeping my problem in mind.

Do you have a K6 processor by chance?

I have a Pentium 4 1.7ghz.I did further tests and found that the text test failed
after 3,900,000. I do not know if this is the limit for XSVCD.But what still interests me is why I have failures with more complicated renders as it fails consistantly with my MPEG 2 renders above 2,300,000 bits. Do I have to watch how I put my timeline together or am I making a consistant mistake that causes the problem.

You should be able to render any project to any setting. Please send the project (.veg) file to drdropout@sonicfoundry.com and I'll take a look.
