Rendering issue? Can anyone help?

dat5150 wrote on 5/26/2003, 4:20 PM
I'm rendering a 6 min .avi file to mpeg1/vcd. No effects, just a simple crop of the video, basically its a straight render. My machine is an a7n8x deluxe with 1.8 chip overclocked to 2.2, 512 ram, no programs running in the background. I have rendered larger files with success, why am I having problems with this one? Here's the error message, any ideas are appreciated:

This may be your problem - try it without overclocking your PC

Cheers,

'mpgaout.DLL' along with many of the other files listed are DX video related - 'mpgaout.DLL' itself is mainconcept. IF everything worked previously with your machine rendering from Vegas, and if you haven't just updated or installed anything, I'd try a remove & reinstall.

IF you want to tinker a bit more, try dxman &/or gspot.

FWIW, while I don't *think* it's related, mainconcept files are listed as a potential problem re: conflicting with other video codecs/files/software here: http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/

If you just updated something you might be getting a crash when the mainconcept stuff is called because it's conflicting with something else, or one of the sofo files were overwritten, or your system is set to use mainconcept files from ulead or adobe that are mismatched with the sofo files.

mikkie...thanks for your input.

I think I solved this problem...for now at least. After searching the net, I narrowed the problem down to either overheating processor(due to overclocking) or inadequate power supply. I bought a new cooling unit for the processor and power supply(needed it anyway). Now, I can render with no problems. I did a trial with both mpeg1 & 2 that went great. The reason this is so important to me is that overclocking my cpu cuts my render time by 1/2 to 2/3 in the tests I ran.
