Hello,

I got a copy of Vegas Platinum Pro for christmas. It's mainly for me to edit together some climbing videos that I shoot with my Vixia HF200. I had been putting them together on some free software, but the render quality was horrible and the videos always had a watermark.

Anyway, I finally got around to putting together a long video (35 minutes) of a recent climbing trip. I had no trouble with compiling and editing( though I'm sure I skipped a lot of advanced options that would have helped me) the video, but I've been having a horrible time trying to get a render to work.

1 render was able to finish without crashing, an avi file that ended up being 40.3 GB. Obviously too big for me to upload onto vimeo and share with my friends. Vegas either crashes, gives me the error code; 0xC0000005 , or sits at 0% rendering for an hour. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? The video files I've used are .MTS or AVCHD. I've tried rendering in several different formats, but no use.

Any help is mucho appreciated. Thanks alot,

-Josh
