For the workflow I am using V7 is much more stable than V6 (which was a disappointment, btw) - much more like V5.
I have not been able to crash V7 so far. Neither during editing work (which I already performed for many many hours) nor during rendering.
Just currently I am rendering a 70 min HDV project with about a dozen tracks to WMV-HD. The rendering already went on for 24 hours without problems (but 30 more hours are still to come;-).
However your experiences may be completely different from mine because I use only a small amount of Vegas' functionality.

I have one project that crashes whilst rendering to HDV. It is the only one though - rest appear fine. Not quite sure why yet.

Rendering from timeline to HDV it crashes. Rendering from timeline to WMV, SonyYUV, PSP and DV - no problems. Rendering to HDV from the Sony YUV and it crashes in the same place each time. Just rendering a small section (Sony YUV version) to HDV (in the area where it crashes) and no problems. Error message, is just Vegas encounted an error. The program does not crash though.

Will have to do a bit more research before I report it as a problem.

due to a large project and long time render session I will do it once and moitor it closely.

When it has crashed like approx 4 time it was on preview render to dv (real player as the previewer) and it causes a system re-boot. I saw it each time and it produced a blue screen but much too quick to note any error messages.

I'll post up if I find a particular prob or if it goes flawless. I am not quite done with the project and so It will be a week until render time.

Hi Auggy. There is a checkbox in Control Panel/System/Advanced/Start Up And Recovery/Settings/System Failure called Automatically restart. If you uncheck this, the BSOD should remain on screen for you to read the content.

Whether it will be the slightest bit useful is another matter. :)

ok guys,
I tried the final render.

Heres what happened. Thanks to my CLOSE monitoring (zzzzz)
it crahsed to a blue screen. Thanks to jaegersing I stopped it from the auto restart and wrote the error codes.
using 7.b 151
1st render:
a mix of SD and HD footage and hi res graphics (1270x720)
was trying to render to 1080i HD mpg (m2t) file but it crashed
at some point. (not sure where)

2nd render: I went to work and while I was working I set it to NTSC DV widescreen (default) and it also crashed with a VERY CLOSE error code.

Now this happened many times while rendering to preview however now I find it is not the (real player) previewer causing this.

Seeing that I've tried both HD and DV formats with similar results I'll have to assume 7 crashed due to some anomoly in the structure when dealing with high definition. It deals fine while in the project or working enviroment but something in the code for rendering must be causing this.

If it was corrupt data then I would think the preview and project work would show this.

I will email these error codes and explaing to sony.

(HERES THE ERROR CODES)
1ST RENDER:
"STOP: 0X0000005E (0XC0000005,0X8056EC2E,0XF779D88,0X00000000)

2ND RENDER:
"STOP: 0X00000050 (0XFEB30008, 0X00000000, 0X80504C3C 0X00000000)

Any thoughts anyone?
anyone else having rendering issues?
(I did see that one guy who "all versions crash upon rendering" but that would seem to be more of a local hardware issue).
