Reliably making Vegas crash: Part II

saff wrote on 2/4/2000, 10:08 AM
Hello --

My system:

AMD K6-2 3DNow 475MHz processor
128MB P100 SDRAM
EPoX 58MVP3C-M motherboard (512MB L2 cache)
Seagate Medalist 4.3GB IDE hard drive (OS)
Quantum Atlas II 9GB 7200RPM SCSI hard drive (audio only)
Frontier Dakota digital sound card
Diamond Viper V-330 AGP 4MB video card
Samsung SC-140 CD-ROM drive
Panasonic 7502 SCSI CDR drive
Adaptec 2940UW PCI SCSI adapter

My problem:

Much like another user's problem (covered in an earlier
post here), I am reliably making Vegas crash while playing
back a project and then clicking ahead in the project (i.e.
starting the playback at 0:00 and then clicking the cursor
at, say, 4:11, while the file is playing). Unlike the
earlier poster's project, mine is decidedly *not* huge: one
stereo 16-bit 44.1KHz .wav file, approximately 20 minutes
long. I'm running one bus effect: Steinberg's Denoiser plug-
in. I don't see any way this problem could be anything
other than a flaw in the code given the simplicity of my
project and the capacity of my system.

Any help much appreciated -- this is an unfortunate blemish
in an otherwise wonderful piece of software.

Thanks in advance,
Carl Saff

Hi,

I have the same problem but sometime, when it occures I can have 2
different messages :

- one saying that Vegas will stop because "an error has occured in
the module xxxxxxxx (and so on...)"

- one saying something like "there is not enough memory to
playback...close other applications"

I run just 4 or 5 tracks, each 1 minute long,I have 160Meg of ram and
except Vegas, nothing is opened. What can I close ? the Window ?

Did you guys try the fix for a similar "exception" that Peter posted
a couple of weeks ago?

Subject: Exceptions in Vegas 1.0b

I re-post it here for your information only:

>>>>START>>>>>
The problem should have been fixed - if this is the same problem, and
it sounds like it.

In the mean time, try this:

Copy the following text

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sonic Foundry\Vegas\1.0\Metrics\Kernel]
"1"=dword:00000004


into notepad and save the file as

PIIIFIX.REG. Save it to a known location. Make sure Vegas is not
running, and then double click on this file. When prompted if you
want to merge this with your registry, answer yes or OK.

Start Vegas and see if the problem has gone away.

Thanks for reposting this, Karl. I hadn't seen it. I successfully
merged the text below with my registry (and even restarted the
machine) and I still get an error, though it is slightly different
from last time:

Thanks for the reply. I've actually spoken to Peter via email and I
know that he's working on this problem, which is great.

However, I thought I should mention that I found a way to use
Denoiser as a bus plugin where this problem doesn't occur. As long as
Denoiser is either used in conjunction with another plugin or is left
as the only plugin after being inserted as part of a chain, it works
fine. I'm beginning to suspect the plugin might be the problem -- I
have the latest version of Vegas and the latest drivers for the
Dakota.

I've done some research on my own and have discovered that I only
have this problem with Denoiser and only when it is the only effect
in a chain, so I'm just going to avoid that scenario and keep using
your incredible multitracker!

Thanks again,
Carl
