Rendering error (Vegas pro 10)

Rendering fails with this message...

An error occured while creating the media file
The system is low on memory. You may be able to reduce memory usage by closing other applications.

This is now the third computer I've tried this on, with the same message. The current computer was bought yesterday to overcome it, which it hasn't.

Windows 7 home premium, 2.3G Intel, 4G RAM, 64 bit OS, good video card.

No other apps running in background, have tried creating new user and uninstalling. Other vegas projects render ok, just not this one. I have izotope Ozone installed as a plug in, I'll try doing this without it. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.

I had this same error message last week when rendering AVCHD to various formats. I was running Vegas 10.0e. The project was 28 minutes in length.

I tried all sorts of things, including changing the RAM preview setting (it didn't help). Also, I have 10.0e 64-bit installed on a second booth drive that is running Windows 7 64-bit (my main boot drive is Windows XP Pro 32-bit). The 64-bit version did not run out of memory but unfortunately did render big sections of black frames.

The only way I could work around the problem and finish my project was to render the project in sections to a high quality intermediate -- I used Cineform that I downloaded for free from GoPro -- and then put these small sections back on the timeline in a new project. Everything went smoothly from there.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of media did you have on the timeline? I did not have any problem until I started using AVCHD clips from my new Sony CX700V. I was shooting in the highest quality 60p mode, so these were 59.974 fps progressive clips.

All of these were regular MOVs at 24 fps. Example...

Name: MVI_2096.MOV
Type: Sony AVC

Streams
Video: 00:00:29.279, 23.976 fps progressive, 1920x1080x12, AVC
Audio: 00:00:29.279, 48,000 Hz, Stereo, PCM

Ok, so I opened the 64bit version of Vegas, which doesn't recognize Ozone3, and rendering went fine. I'm guessing the problem is either the 32bit or the Ozone. So either the latest version of Ozone is compatible with vegas, or I skip Ozone and stick with Sony's built in effects (which is a shame since Ozone is a great piece of software).
