what is the most stable V10?

I'm suddenly getting crash after crash when trying to either zoom with mouse or delete HDV clips from the timeline in a certain veg.
The problem reporter states I need an update. I click on the link and it's for 10e build 737.
I have 10e build 738 installed...is it suggesting I revert back to an earlier build?
Thanks very much,
Randy
EDIT: I just went to "my software" and saw that build 737 is for 32 bit and I'm running 64 bit...I don't need to run 32 bit do I?

There is not any version of VegasPro 10 that is completely stable.

But you do have 10.0e (? correct) which is the most free of bugs in the 10 series...in fact all prior 10 versions had serious flaws.

Do not know the pros and cons of 10 versions in 32bit and 64bit flavors, however note that in VegasPro11 series - 32 bit has been determined to be the most stable.

Yes I have 10e, 64 bit....I haven't had any crashes to speak of until today and it happens every time I try to drag 20 or so short HDV clips onto the timeline of a fresh project.
Maybe I'll install the 32 bit build 737 tomorrow.
Thanks,
Randy

Before you do that kind of thing...you should ask yourself about these 20 or so clips.??????

Start by dragging only 2 at a time and saving project. test by close and reopen project. then 2 more and so on.....you will find that you get to an offensive clip sooner or later.That will be desiginated as your kill clip!

I just did a short film in Vega 10e saturday/sunday with ~140 tracks, ~40 8mp images & ~60 generated medias, Vegas didn't crash once.

I'd go with the "check your clips" suggestion.

I'm also on 10e for the last few years...in a 10 hour day, I get maybe 1 or 2 crashes.
For me it's the most stable version.

RE:
10e is rock-stable on our workstations. The ONLY problems we have encountered are the render-to-black issue & replacement footage bug but 10e rarely crashes.

When it does cash there is always an offending clip... The crash typically happens as Vegas is filling-in the audio peaks & images across the timeline. I watch as these fill and when it crashes I guess which clip it did not fill-in. I then exit Vegas, rename the clip, and restart Vegas. When Vegas loads fine (except for the missing clip) I know which clip is causing the probelm.

Solutions:
Sometimes I can cut the clip into smaller sublclips and then Vegas will load it. Other times I have to open it in another application, render it to a new file, and then reload it. Sometimes just trimming it slightly and resaving it works just fine. Once it is saved properly the Vegas crash goes away.

Sorry guys I'm not used to not getting an email when someone posts to one of my threads;
I actually did do what the above post suggested and added 5 at a time then did a save as and repeated until all 40 something clips were on the timeline.
Then as soon as I started to do a rough edit it crashed so I'm convinced it is indeed a corrupted clip causing it....but I haven't had time to go back and root out the bad clip.
Let me add, V10 has been very stable for me until this weirdness...I've just never seen a corrupted clip make any version crash.
I'll report back later after the issue's resolved.
Thanks very much guys,
Randy
