Vegas 7 Crashes on MPG2 Render

Just wondering if anyone else has had any problems rendering MPG2 from Vegas 7?

I have a 2hr PAL DV widescreen timeline with five nested projects and some colour correction. There are no third party plugins in use (although there is one installed - Boris RED 4). When I try to render to MPG2 I get to the 40% mark and Vegas crashes. Three attempts later, I'm still crashing at exactly the same spot.

Looking at the timeline, I can't see anything at that point that I think could be causing an issue and I've tried various MPG export presets...

Any thoughts?

You could try to render to Sony YUV in case the previous project render is impacted by a failing in the MainConcept encoder or the interfacing between the front-door of that encoder and the back-door of the Vegas "vision mixer".

(You could equally use DV or uncompressed - but I'm guessing your source is of fantastic quality and that you are constrained by disc space even if only to some extent)
