Hi, i've done about 3 hours of installing/reinstalling voukoder and connector and vegas pro 17, and i still can't get the voukoder to show up in the render as an option, yes its showing in the help/about/components, and i moved 2 files from vp17 to vp16 and voukoder shows up in vp16...... omg i need this to work in 17, any help?

a bit more information: When i uninstall vp17 and reinstall it all of the settings/plugins, toolbar/presets show up as if i never uninstalled it and reinstalled it. could that be the issue? Thank you

- Close you VPx. Check it they are really closed not appearing in task manager (kill them if they are there or restart PC)

- Uninstall Voukoder & connectors

- Search for "vouk" in "Program FIles" and delete all instances (to be on a safe side move them somewhere temporarily)

- Restart PC

- Do NOT open VP. Install Voukoder & Connector. Go to \Program Files\Vegas\Vegas Pro 17.0\ and double check that you have two voukoder connector related files (dll & config as mentioned earlier).

- Run VP17 and check. Make sure you do not have filtering in render as dialog.

P.S. I have not had any issues with installing Voukoder.

It work for me. Clean installation 2.3beta5_fixed and 0.4.5 connector

Render on same bitrate/settings is faster in Voukoder.

@tripleflip18 Sorry, I have no any other suggestions (I assume you used the latest available installers). Cannot think of anything else that may prevent it appeared in VP. You may ask in Voukoder forum. Start here.

@Radomir 2.3RC1 is already available (shows beta8 in About).

Ok after trying everything i've remembered that if you hold CTRL+SHIFT and double click VP17.exe from desktop it will bring up a dialog to reset everything in vegas. Did that and now Voukoder is there in render options.... phew.....

I have VP-16 on a WIn 10 PC and cannot get Voucoder to work at all. It is there in the render dialog with all the parameter otions, but when render is initiated, the render box appears briefly, then disappears. A few moments later, Vegas crashes and closes. I have tried many different encode settings, but the same behavior persists. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Voucoder and the Vegas connector. Any ideas how to make it work? VP renders normally otherwise, even with HOS. Thanks.

Voukoder does not appear after installing Voukoder 2.3 and the Vegas connector. Have these been installed in the right place? With my Lapton the installation worked out right away. Here some screenshots .... Someone who can help me further?

Vouk wrote on 1/3/2020, 1:04 AM

@rraud What are your settings? Maybe you can share your voukoder logfile? %LOCALAPPDATA%\Voukoder

@Sylk The Voukoder installer contains only voukoder.dll and voukoder.tlb. I am not sure why the installer asks to close all that applications. This is not programmed, it's windows itself which sees some need for doing that.

You can generate an installation log using:

msiexec /i "C:\MyPackage\Example.msi" /L*V "C:\log\example.log"

Maybe that will tell you the reason.

@GerY Please try @tripleflip18s solution.

@Vouk Will there be also a Voukoder connector for VegasMovieStudio in future? It would be really great to have this rendering option also in VMS.

@3POINT Currently I have access to the VEGAS Pro SDK only.

Thanks Vouk, that will be helpful! I look forward to trying it out.

I don't care how long it takes to render, but would like to be able to select between small file size and high quality without too much fiddling with settings.

Probably differs not much from the VMS SDK. Maybe you're able in future. Keep on the good work. 👍

rraud wrote on 1/3/2020, 11:36 AM

Thanks for the reply @Vouk

I got it working. As far as I can figure, the issue was the original project <.veg> file(s) I was trying, were originally created in VP-9. However, even when the project was re-saved (Save as) in VP-16, the same 'no render & crash" behavior persisted. When I created a 'new' project file (in VP-16) and re-added or pasted in the events, the project rendered using Voukoder without issue.

As long as I have your attention, is there a setting to render anything other than a 1920x1080 interlaced file. 720p for instance? The Vegas project settings are set to match the video events (1440x1080i 1.3333 HDV 1080) Thanks again for your great work and responce.
Properties screenshot:

3POINT wrote on 1/3/2020, 12:28 PM

HDV (1440x1080i50 PAR1,333) is automatically rendered to 1080p25 (1920x1080p25 PAR 1,000). When you want 720p25, just set your HDVproject to 720p25.

and what could be the reason why its not in my list?

intel 9900K here and with HOS it works and the normal vegas h264/h265 codecs its also avaible.
