Do you have QT authoring components installed? (you need those). If so:

What are your custom settings?

What's surprising is that it worked with all my previous clips, it's just this one that refuses to render...

Settings: source (prefs):720x480
Rendering: sound: 32000/16 bits
video: crop to 240x160

And no, I don't have QTime authoring kit; just the basic QT player. What's bizarre is that I rendered 2 clips just before this one and it worked...

When you install QuickTime, you must do a custom install as the authoring components are not installed by default. You'll need a minimum of version 5.0.2 for the Vegas QuickTime 5 plugin.

I've found that because of interdependencies among the components, it's best to just install everything. Since you already have QuickTime installed, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall (or do an update/repair install if this is possible).

OK, I'll try that. Something must have "skipped" since it used to work before...

I installed QT6, selecting every component from custom install.
Now, if I want to render, the rendering window (the one with the progression bar) pops up for half a second then disapears... straaaaange... Still no way to render in QT format.
Note: I don't have a registration number so I skip this box when installing QT...

futz,

That's rather odd you still cannot render now that you have a full install of QT6 (no, a Pro license is not required). Did you try rebooting after you installed QT6 (AFAIK that's not required though you would need to restart Vegas).

Are you running on a localized version (non-English) of Win2K? What is the exact version of QT6 (run the player, select Help | About)? Did you install it in the default location? Does the Custom dialog come up OK? Changing some of the audio and video format selections causes the Configure button to become enabled, if you click it does it properly display a dialog?

Make sure that you have sufficient disk space for your render -- you could try rendering a small loop region from your clip and see if that works.

Also, is the filename you are rendering to really long (like 56 characters or more)? If so, try rendering to a shorter name.

Thanks. It looks like I didn't have enough space. I cleared a few files on my drive and it worked. I already had some space but it looks like the system needs some "loose" to work properly.
