A friend of mine asked me to check something out for her, however I haven't used Vegas long enough to figure out what could be wrong so I am asking here to see what your thoughts are
The problem is:
My friend makes amv's and she got a bundle of clips from a game online which he uses to make the amv's.
He uploaded one of the clips, which I will share below.
When he was editing the clips he was able to see the video play in the preview screen in Vegas, however after rendering and opening the video he found out that the video vanished and that only the audio remained.
I thought this was strange, perhaps a codec case, so I asked him to upload a clip and send me the link so I could see it for myself.
Well he did and when importing the clip to my timeline I was able to see the video just fine while cutting it up etc.
However after rendering and then opening the file there seemed the be just audio, I rendered it as a .mov and played it with VLC. When playing it for a second time (just now) VLC gave me a message that something was wrong with the decoder, it was unusable or something.

I used to have this same problem with Newtek's Toaster Edit software. The problem the editors that worked under me had was they were nesting too many projects into a separate project, and not clearing the temp files. So tell your friend to delete the pre-rendered files (find them by going to File-Properties) while Vegas is opened. Then have your friend go to C-Documents and Settings-All Users-Programs-Sony Vegas and delete the temp files there. The computer gets filled with all the junk that you have to clear out from time to time for smoothe operation.
