crashing while rending
by jerome mcfadden on Nov 4, 2009 at 6:44:09 pm

Using pro 9.0c 64 bit trying to burn an 20 gig iso file, then burn it to blue ray. Between 75 to 1oo percent the error message vegas gives me is program not responding. That after at least 8 hours of rendering. all drivers are up to date, defraged hard drives, have over 500 gig of room. running windows 7 64 on a I7 gateway at 2.67 chip speed. I have burn small iso files fine. oh yes have 6 gig of ram.

Try setting the "threads" to the max: 16. On my i7 I have my Dynamic Ram at 1024.

I have had much better luck using 4 drives: 1 for OS, 1 for "temp/scratch", 1 for source, 1 for destination.

thanks again I figured it out its in prefences. Still I dont no why you raised the memory part up and cut your available ram down. How much ram do you have?

I have 8 gigs of ram on an i7.

The max 16 threads should make no difference on a system that perceives itself as an 8 core, but it seems to. In my case, it works, so I stick with it.

Nor, do I understand the relationship between Dynamic Ram setting and rendering. But, I do seem to get different rendering behavior with different Dynamic Ram settings. In my case, rendering to Avid's HD codec DNxHD-145, I find that the settings of 16/1024 work. Other settings, I have had less luck with. It may be codec dependent, but it may be worth a try for you.

And, as mentioned before, I have found it very helpful (higher render success rate) by using 4 drives.
