Hello,

I encountered a recurring error with VEGAS Pro 18

The Error
*   VEGAS Pro 18: "An error occurred while creating the media file... Error 0x80660008".
*   Context: The error occurred with every video file, not just recordings.

My Setup
*   GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU
*   VEGAS Version: 18.0

What didn't work (current update 591.xx)
*   Driver 591.xx
*   Disabling HAGS.

The Solution
I manually installed the **NVIDIA Game Ready Driver version 576.88**. This specific version restored NVENC compatibility for Vegas 18.

I hope this helps anyone facing this specific driver incompatibility with newer versions (my AI link #french conversation for find solving : https://chat.z.ai/s/a5633662-65ee-43c1-8b45-6eedef0cf730)
