Refuses to Render

I have movie studio 10 HD platinum. I've noticed that Vegas often lags badly on a project even any longer than 5 minutes, but recently its dropped to an all time low. Let me explain.

Linked is the message that comes up whenever I render in any of my favorite formats

Sony AVC (mp4) fails immediately
MOV fails in the last 2 percent or so
MainConcept AVC (mp4) wont even load. It give me another error saying it couldn't load, although upon another try, this didn't happen. It did however give me a similar message saying that the system is low on memory (which is a lie since Vegas was the only thing open)

Basically, my Vegas has been rendered useless. I've noticed that on any projects that have what I would consider a medium amount of editing make the software completely glitch out.

I've already restarted my PC about 10 times to no avail. What I want to know is A. Can this be fixed, and B. have these problems been fixed in the new version. I absolutely adore the vegas interface and would rather get the new version, but since this seems to be a common problem, I'm seriously considering switching to Adobe...

It's possible your Quicktime player updated automatically, and is no longer compatible with Vegas 10, which reached its end-of-development a few years ago.

Check your QT version, and if it is 7.7.x, roll back to 7.4, 7.1, or even 6.x.
Once you find the sweet spot for your system, disable QT updates. It breaks older versions of Vegas for reasons you don't even want to know.

A reinstall of Vegas after the rollback is also suggested, and can't hurt.

Alright, thats an option, but would this still be the case with version 12? Would it be more worth it to switch to adobe?

Qucktime issues "security updates" regularly which break compatibility with Windows NLEs, Vegas being but one of those affected. I said that this is a "possible" cause of your problem, and suggested a procedure to confirm or rule out such a possibility. I didn't say that "is" the cause of your problem. I'm not willing to advise you on your choice of editing software. Perhaps you could be more certain of what you expect from peer support.
