VP15 Build 387 Crashes while rendering

GeoffreyDean33 wrote on 5/19/2019, 6:58 PM

Trying to render a ~100 min job to DVD. The file in the timeline is ProRes 422LT 1920x1080 at 29.970 FPS 117 Mb/s. Used the following render settings.

Main Concept MPEG 2
DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream
Variable bit rate - 2 pass
@ 5,000,000 bps average

After a few minutes of rendering, the program crashes.

I tried both TRUE and FALSE Enable So4 Compound Reader for AVC/M2TS. Crashes either setting

I tried turning OFF G-Force GTX 660 GPU acceleration of video processing in Video Preferences. Still crashes.

Any ideas??

Upgrade to VP15 build 416?

Just uploaded and installed. The render got a little farther but crashed after about 15 min of rendering. Thanks though.

The related FAQ.

Tried rebooting. Crash
Tried setting up a Windows Page file for my media drive instead of leaving windows to configure. Crash
Tried build 416. Crash.

Thanks for the link. I'll keep going through the FAQ list. In the mean time, I'm rendering using TMPGEnc Master Works. Not so easy to adjust Levels and Color but is very robust in rendering.

I've tried Vegas 14 and Vegas 15. Both crash while rendering my 30 min MPEG 2 timeline (I broke it in two hoping a shorter render might help. It didn't).

I happen to have the Adobe Creative Cloud so I installed Premiere Pro. It prompted me to update my NVIDIA driver which I did but even Premiere crashed while rendering this job. Three times in a row.

I looked at the list of recommended hardware for both Adobe and VP16. Neither have my GeForce GTX 660 listed. If I turned OFF G-Force GTX 660 GPU acceleration of video processing in Video Preferences in VP15, and it still crashes during rendering, does this mean my video card is NOT the problem? Or could it still be causing crashes?

Side note: I noticed in the NVIDIA settings on my computer lists "System video memory = 0 MB." Is this normal? Could this be a problem?

 

Also USERBENCHMARK thinks my video card stinks.

@GeoffreyDean33, is your project just one ProRes clip or multiple ProRes clips? If multiple, how many? When you right click on a clip and bring up 'Properties', in the 'General' tab, scroll down. Is the 'Plugin: Name' mxhevcplug.dll? This question is in reference to Vegas Pro 15.

Eagle,

There are two files. Each about 50 min long. And yes, it looks like MXHEVCplug.dll is there.

Thank You @GeoffreyDean33 that is exactly what it should be and should not have anything to do with your issue, just wanted to check.

I got a successful render. The key seems to be turning the Dynamic Ram to Zero. It took over three hours to render the 50 min ProRes light HD segment to SD MPEG 2. At least I can complete the job now.

Does turning off dynamic ram tell us anything about my hardware? Is something wrong? Is this a normal setting? I've never had to do this before to get the program to render.

You might want to try different GPU drivers from AMD. They just released a new one for VEGA64, so check your GPU as well. I have had to set the Dynamic Ram to Zero on other systems until I found a GPU driver that worked. Also, prevent Windows from doing automated updates & make an IMAGE of your OS drive when everything works on this same project with same settings...

I have an NVIDIA GTX660 and I just installed the latest driver which didn't help or hurt the issue. Are you saying to try older drivers until I find one that works?
