I'm so so close from a nervous breakdown. After having many problems with the Main Concept MPEG2 locking up while rendering, I was told to update to VV3(a), which I just did. (which updated the MPEG2 encoder as well.) Now the system doesn't freeze, it just gives my a very useless message. "An error occurred whild creating the media file Vacation.mpg. The reason for the error could not be determined." Boy, that's a big help after 5 hours of rendering then getting that little ditty. If I retry to render, it stops at the same frame! The video plays fine on VV3. If I move the time cursors around, it will do the problem frame OK, and then hang up somewhere else new. The problem frame never has several elements to it, it is just raw DV video from a Sony DCR-TRV120 D8 camcorder via firewire, using the updated (as of 2/27) Vegas Video Capture utility. (It will render a difficult section, with lots of titles and music overlays without a hitch, then crash on a simple segment) I'm running a PIII 800mhz, 640 Ram, 2 7200rpm 40GB drives (one soley for DV). I was able to render a small 30 min project with out any addition elements OK. This new 61 min project keeps getting the error. I've got plenty of mem, and plenty of disc space.
