Vegas hard crash

busterkeaton wrote on 1/23/2005, 10:58 PM
So I was setting up a project. I had added about 8 video tracks. The bottom track was a noise texture with the Wood setting. The second track was solid color and I was playing with Track Motion and Pan/Crop to make it move across the screen from right to left. Veg was unsaved.



Sony Vegas 5.0

If you search "0xC0000005" you'll see 314 cases of it.

It looks like a generic crash message from all the Sony products.

Lot's of guesses.

Hiyah BK!

Nope can't repeat it here.

How did you ADD the tracks? I added them one at a time. Did you use the "Add Many Tracks Script" - I'm looking at using this one, but I had some "grief" 2 weeks back and this, amongst other "toolbar" scripts, was part of it. I'm trying to eliminate some of the variables. Did you use the Vegas "Add Video Track" toolbar icon? I had that then too.

Anyways, set my UNSAVED project as per your recipe, can't make it fall over. Have added TM and PC changes on-the-fly while Previewing and to my ExtMon. I had Win Task Manager monitoring the whole thing too. IMHO this Generated Media does stick it to your resources so if there is anything flaky going on this could/might throw the project over the edge.

[EDIT] I've been told that even if there are tracks with nothing in them, they still get added to the overall resource demand. Knowing this I repeated and muted those tracks that were devoid of media. Considerable drop in resource demand. [EDIT] oops! I retried this part didn't effect it - I had tracks inaddvertedly ALL switched off - twit!

ok .. this stays the same though . . .

Page File Usage PEAKS on a 2 Screen Display setup:
Layout 1 Peaks : 218 MB - Tracks Only on One Screen (left)
Layout 3 Peaks : 597 MB - Tracks Over 2 Screens
Layout 9 Peaks : 608 MB - Tracks Over 2 Screens PLUS Updating Scope PLUS Full Screen Preview

So, displays effect PF. Are your resources being hit by this process? Figures above show a larger use of PF with different layouts - maybe your "project" is pushing your pc to a limit?

Any thoughts? My specs are 3.2 ASUS MoBo with fast 2gb RAM.

Sorry . .

BK! See my edit in my last post .. . otherwise still the same. It IS running as we speak and it isn't falling over.

You were one of the victims of that error awhile back although it involved an ntdll.dll or something.

You restored Vegas to its default settings to fix it.

Is that the end of the story?

I added them one at a time using keyboard shortcuts.

I was about ten minutes into when it crashed.

Grazie, what do you use for speakers? I am looking to get some new speakers?
Grazie wrote on 1/24/2005, 12:48 AM
Speakers? Hard Crash? Speakers? .. oh, I'm still using the rather natter 2.1 Logitech system that came with this MONSTA! - sorry aint no audio master here! - What speakers you got in mind?

Grazie

Hiyah Nickle . . sorry missed your ref to me . .

Is that the end of the story? . . .well, touch wood . . so far so good. I had to get back all my PAL stuff; where prerendering happens; ExtMon .. . oh and all the usual suspects, but yup my project is coming together nicely - oops, now I've done it! I'l have to turn round three times and spit nothwards!

Grazie

I got some B and H gift certificates for Christmas and my birthday, but I don't have enough to get the expandable M-audio 2.1 set I wanted. Think I'll start a new post on that.

Actually, "0xC0000005" is a WINDOWS error telling you that memory was accessed incorrectly. It's NOT a generic crash message from all Sony products - it's a generic WINDOWS error which I get from many OTHER products way too often.

Good one Grazie.

Jetdv what I meant was that the search turned up crashes affecting all the Sony products not just Vegas and for a variety of reasons., with other modules and dlls involved.

In other words, the crash message isn't much help in diagnosing this problem.

I guess it's like saying rebooting will fix it. Not very helpful.
