Rendering Crashes - please help me!!!

Dongler wrote on 9/18/2003, 7:28 PM
Hey folks, just about tearing my hair out now. Everytime I try to render my relatively simple 16 minute movie to avi, mpg, mpg2 (pretty much whatever) I get around 10% through the render and an error message pops up (info below) then several minutes later my machine will completely hang then reboot. Running XP, pretty quick machine, loads of RAM. What is going on????

Error Message:

Were you able to render before? I.E. Is the error limited to this project? DGrob

Dongler,
Have you updated your Version 4.0 to 4.0d? There may be a bug that was fixed in the update releases.

Randy is probably right. Your dump indicates you are using Build 115 and 4.0d is Build 205.

In a couple of the other threads, Vegas would react the same way if there was a corrupt file. I'm not sure if it applies in your situation, but if your using still photos, try removing them (or even the media) one at a time or render only sections of your video. At least maybe then you couold narrow it down. And please do upgrade.

Is this machine a dual athlon, running hot?

I had a similar issue many moons ago. I'd first completely uninstall VV 4.0x. Meaning whatever version you have. Then, install 4.0d from scratch as opposed to overwriting an older version. You will loose any saved 'preference' type settings, but will not lose saved projects or multimedia files. So, no worry.
