What's AT that point on the timeline?

Have you tried the usual of rendering to AVI first... and then placing that partially rendered AVI back on the timeline? Then rendering the remainder?

Hi Liam!

"What's AT that point on the timeline?" Oh the same file has fallen over at 11% and other numbers too! So not having an issue within the file . . ?

"Have you tried the usual of rendering to AVI first" - yup! Done the whole file. Falling over at various places. I've tried 5 times now. This has been AFTER updating to Vegas6 "C".

Oh, I've tried 2 separate AVIs too!

A bit confused... are you rendering to MPEG direct from a "fully rendered" AVI file? Or from the original project?

If you are rendering from an AVI (basically doing a straight encode from AVI to MPEG)... then that is a very strange crash indeed.

You're confused? I truly .. er . . nope .. calm down ..

Yup, encoding friom a completed AVI, fresh outta the box, ready and waiting, glisteninning and smelling of roses .. like a new morn in Springtime!

I'm using - again - DVDA3c to see if I get any better results. Ha!

Wow.... if it is failing with a "raw" AVI file... I guess things are worse than I thought.

Time to re-install v6b? (and I have not yet upgraded to 6c).

Is there a max size to rendering an MPEG2 file? - G

I can't imagine there is. And.... er... ehem..... what size is yours?

Ahem! . . Well, I have rendered 50% of - 50% highlighted - the RAW AVI and it did it without a murmur. Hmmm?

Stupid suggestion
Try highlighting 100% and see you can confuse the blighter

I'll put good odds on something over heating. My Monster will render DV all day without the fans even speeding up, give it 1 hour of mepg-2 to digest and after 5 minutes the fans are at 105% throttle, encoding finishes and it starts on wav and fans go back to idle within seconds. I think this is worse in V6.0x due to better multihreading.
Try resting a cold pint on top of the CPU, if that doesn't fix it at least you'll have a warm ale to drink.

G,

You can try to increase the RAM preview, if you have a lot of still images.
try decreasing the number of threads - to reduce CPU usage and heat.

Grazie, take a bottle of dust-removal spray for electronics and spray the cpu and cooling fins, see if this helps advance the rendering %. I have noticed that the drive for temp and system temp files sometimes overheat too, this will stall the rendering too.

"I'll put good odds on something over heating. " - the case feels cold



"You can try to increase the RAM preview, if you have a lot of still images." - I'm rendering an already completed AVI. If the stills in there are already "trapped" in a finished AVI - yeah?

"Grazie, take a bottle of dust-removal spray for electronics and spray the cpu and cooling fins, see if this helps advance the rendering %. I have noticed that the drive for temp and system temp files sometimes overheat too, this will stall the rendering too. " . .hmmm.. I take a look later.

. . . back to actual cutting now! You know, the reason I have Vegas? I hate all this faffing about!

Grazie
