Rendering issue

sjt375 wrote on 4/22/2011, 6:54 PM
Hello, I have recently completed a video, approximately 6 minutes long. I went to render the video, and sony vegas crashes at a random point mid-render. I have tried different techniques, such as rendering half and half, but vegas crashes then as well. ]

here is my error report:

What type of camcorder is your source video coming from and how did you get it into your computer?

Which project settings did you select when you set up your Vegas Movie Studio project?

Are your working files on your second hard drive? If so, it is an internal or external drive? If an internal drive, have you ensured that it is set up in the BIOS as well as the operating system?

Has the drive been formatted as NTFS?

1. It's not a camcorder, all the files in the video are FRAPS files and music files

2. I don't remember exactly for settings as I started about a month ago. All I do remember is that I selected for high quality internet streaming (I post to youtube). If it matters, I do it in 720p and in .wmv

3. The sony vegas project itself is on one of my hard drives, while the recordings are on the other, both are internal. For the question, my computer came with both already in the case (pre-built), so I assume yes

4. what do you mean by that?


-Also, if it matters at all. I was working on a similar project a couple of months back, and after about 3 minutes of clips in, vegas began to experience rending crashes. Typically, a restart would solve this problem, has not worked this time

Hard drives come from the factory formatted FAT32 -- an old style of drive formatting that has a file size limit that often chokes video editing work. Converting it to NTFS is vital. (You can find instructions for doing so online.)

But the bigger issue is that you're working with FRAPS video, a codec that's often not compatible with video editing programs like Vegas. I don't know of a solution though. I'd check online and see if anyone has software that they've found that does edit FRAPS.

That would be much wiser than trying to make Vegas Movie Studio work with it.

it's definitely not fraps. I have been editing for 2 years using fraps, never had a problem. Also, I am in a youtube community of editors that only uses fraps, and problems are never encountered.

also, for the hard drive conversion, is it possible to do this without losing my files?

Also, I tried again this morning, and received a different error:

What version of 9PE to you have? Build 92 seems like a low number so maybe upgrading to the "B" release might help.

I skipped v9 so I can't tell you if build 92 is the B release or not.

Also, have you been able to render successfully with v9 on your Win7 64-bit system? It could be a compatibility issue since VMS is a 32-bit app.

Ah, here we go..... You'll find this thread most helpful:

I have been able to render successfully on Win7 64-bit.

I have NOT updated version 9PE, however, would updating it delete my current progress?

just did a full reinstall, and applied the updates, no luck

One other easy to try thing. Open up one instance of VMS, load in your project. Open up another instance of VMS (essentially start VMS again). Create a new project in that instance. Go back to VMS#1, Select All. Then click "copy". Go to VMS #2 and click "paste". if the issue is a corrupted project, that could help.

I think that is the problem. I am now fairly certain that it is NOT Sony vegas, but in fact some corrupted file in my video. I have come to this conclusion from 2 things: one, rendering the video on my old computer unsuccessfully, and two, rendering a video I made about a month back with similar specs and not having any form of an issue with sony vegas. I will continue to work on this, and if a problem pops up again, I will report back
