rendering mp4 from templates not working

Using the standard options built into vegas 11, I get an error msg when trying to render any mp4. I removed the software and reinstalled it, rebooted the computer and still no success. It use to be easy to with vegas 10.

What does the error message say?

Which template are you trying to use?

The template is from:

"MainConcept AVC/AAC (*.mp4)
Internet HD 720P

The error msg reads:

"An error occurred will creating the media file XXXXXX.mp4"

"The reason for the error could not be determines."

On the render template set Encode Mode to "Render Using CPU Only"

Thanks, I'll try it.. and let you know. I appreciate your support. Just for kicks I downloading Vegas 13 as a trial and it works out of the box...! :-)

FIXED!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! Saved me from buying V. 13.

One more question if you would. My goal is to create a .FLV file from the .MP4 video. What is the cleanest most economical way to do that without buying new software?

I don't have a reason to create .flv or a workflow to get it done.

Though maybe not necessary for you, buying Vegas Pro 13 is not a bad thing.

FFMPEG can do this.. I use FFMPEG to convert .flv to mp4 and stitch multiple mp4 files to one a single contiguous file

Here's some code to convert from mp4 to flv.



Command Sample 1

ffmpeg -i source.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 19 destinationfile.flv



Command Sample 2:

ffmpeg -i source.mp4 -c:v libx264 -ar 22050 -crf 28 destinationfile.flv

Note that -crf XX is the quality of the video you will create. It's between 0 and 51 (but between 17 and 23 is a reasonable range and the lower the number is, the better quality the video is going to be).

The -ar 22050 is for adjusting the audio sample range (audio quality). You can choose 11025, 22050 or 44100.

Hope this helps.
