Vegas v14, GeForce GTX 580, GPU processing, and mp4 render fail

Just putting this out there because it wasted a day of my time, hope to help someone else with this problem.

I'm running Vegas 14 with a GeForce GTX 580 card and GPU processing enabled. This worked until recently, when suddenly any and all mp4 renders would fail (at 0% completed, with Vegas lockup). Other file formats rendered fine.

After much trial and error, here's what I found: the first fix was, not surprisingly, to disable the GPU processing, and then mp4s would render, but more slowly. Next, I rolled back the NVIDIA driver to Version 372.90 (from 390.65) and was again able to render mp4s with GPU processing enabled. (Also, using the 390 driver, I saw lots of weird issues with Titles and Text.)

So I guess I'm staying with 2016 display drivers for the foreseeable future...

What sucks is when running Windows 10, Microsoft forces driver updates on users - even if you uninstall the latest updates and roll back, it will force the latest version again, causing issues - One those rare instances where I wish I was back on Windows 7 or on a MAC...

I added your experience to my spreadsheet of NVIDIA drivers for .

Looks like things went wrong after driver 376.33.

Have a look at this link. I haven't tried it yet but I also need a specific version of a driver & not have windows auto update.

Was having trouble with FBmn 'White Balance plugin' Rolled back from 82.05 to 376.33 and all is well "GT550Ti". Thanks Nick.

FWIW, I've tried support at FBmn a few times lately for GPU related problems, got no reply---site seems kinda inactive since the "magic year" of 2016
