Problems Opening a Vegas 9.0a file in 9.0d

I'm having issues opening a file that was created in Vegas 9.0a. The file opens, loads most of the file, builds levels and then crashes and sends a report to Sony.

This is the 32 bit version, several workstations, windows XP.

Any tips?

Sounds like some corruption in the file or some bad media somewhere.. One way to find out is to go back to 9.0a and try to open the file. Another thing to try is to move some of the media (anything you suspect could be a problem) to a diff directory and see if you can open the file by "ignoring" that media -- possibly move all the media and see if the file will open with just the "generated media" -- 9.0a did have a problem with generated media events. The issue can also be a sound file. I've had certain mp3 files that would crash Vegas in times gone by -- not lately. Do you have any backup files of the veg? Try one of those.

Does your 9.0a project contain any Windows Media files (*.wmv or *.wma)? If so, drop those files into 9.0d (empty project 'Untitled' is fine) so it creates audio proxy files that are required by 9.0d. Then try opening your 9.0a project again into 9.0d.
