I have this issue that's very troubling to me. I have Vegas 6.0 that I upgraded to from 4.0 in April. I never had this issue with 4.0, only with my new 6.0. I have tried uninstalling 6.0 and reinstalling it and that doesn't help the problem. This is all after installing a fresh new install of Windows XP Pro after a fresh reformat of my hard drive.
I have this render issue that only happens when I use lower bit rates when rendering to DVD NTSC Mpeg 2. When I say lower I mean anything lower than the maximum bit rate. I usually only render things at 9800 for videos that are an hour or less. I have no trouble rendering at those higher or highest bit rates as they all render flawlessly. However, when I try to render anything in the 7000s with CBR I get an error. This is extremely frustrating. The error message reads:
An error occurred creating the media file filename.mpg.
The reason for the error could not be determined.
If I use VBR and have the bit rates set to say 7000 to 7200 it renders fine. I have a video that I edited for my friend Mike that's one hour and twenty minutes in length. This is an edited down version from a video tape that contained one hour and forty minutes of videos. The first time I rendered Mike's revision I used a few bit rates around 7300 at VBR and using Two Pass. It rendered fine with no problems. The file size was slightly too big than I wanted it, so I decided to bring down the bit rate to 7000 using CBR to see how that does. About twenty minutes into the render it stopped with the above mentioned error message. Very strange.
I rendered the same video for myself without all the stuff I edited out on Mike's version and spit up into two files so that I could render them at the maximum bit rate for quality which would mean I would have them on two separate DVDs. Those edited fine at 9800 using CBR. However, I then wanted to make another revision for myself where I would render the whole video (nothing edited out like on Mike's version), which is an hour and forty minutes long, together to fit onto one DVD. I decided to use a bitrate somewhere in the 5000s using VBR (I forget the exact numbers) and tried using the Two Pass option. Rendered the whole video just fine in the first pass, the second pass it stopped and gave the above error message on the second pass somewhere in the forty minute point of the video. I don't understand it. It's not just this video, this has happened with other videos I had been working on in the past.
I have made another similar thread about this over a month ago when this first happened: http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=386145
Can anyone help me with this issue? It would be greatly appreciated.
