Vegas Bugs - A neverending story
Hi Guys,
I think I will be number 100.000.000 on the "bugs in Pro 8" list but I have tried already everything to figure out what is going wrong with Pro8 and I'm getting sad with spending $300 for the upgrade which is not working. At first the project: HDV 1080 60i material. The material is OK, to exclude the material as a bug I have tried material from a second source but the effect was the same! The machine: Duo E6850 3GHz, 2GB Ram, NVidia 8800GTS 640MB, Asus motherboard, Windows XP Pro, checked, updated and everthing (inclusive Vegas 7.0 which is running fine) is working and running fine. The Problem: When I put HDV clips in the timeline I can see how the PFUsage in the Task Manager is raising, at around 28 to 32 clip I reach 1.72GB and I get this: Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 Version 8.0a (Build 179) Exception 0xC0000005 (access violation) WRITE:0x0 IP:0x2303B990 In Module 'mcmpgvdec.dll' at Address 0x23000000 + 0x3B990 Thread: VideoRender ID=0xCFC Stack=0xAA7E000-0xAA80000 Registers: EAX=00000001 CS=001b EIP=2303b990 EFLGS=00010206 EBX=00000000 SS=0023 ESP=0aa7ea5c EBP=0aa7ea74 ECX=0aa7ea38 DS=0023 ESI=00000010 FS=003b EDX=7c90eb94 ES=0023 EDI=00002c18 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 2303B990: 89 3B EB 95 8D B6 00 00 .;...... 2303B998: 00 00 8D BF 00 00 00 00 ........

The most messages are the render stuff. The 1.72GB are the mystical part, Vegas 7.0 never reached this, even with an hour HDV, in Pro8 1.72Gb are reached with in 2.5 minutes HDV material. With SD material I can fit 4hours and up in less than 1.0GB PF Usage. To exclude the machine I have tried it on three different computer: HP slimeline PC WinXpMediaCenter EMachines with Windows Vista :-( Emachines with Windows XP Home Everytime I´m getting the same messages with two different HDV materials. A friend tried already my projects on his computer with one of the HDV sources and it was working. The only real difference (since the hardware does not matter according my own experiments!!!) he is running on a German Windows XP! OK, they have 230Volts in Germany :-) Who can help before I send the software back and try to get my money back? Thanks Axel, San Jose, CA |

From where do the HDV files originate?

I have done tests with my own files that are captured by HDVSplitt and I got one file where I have no idea where it comes from.
If you ask in regard to dropped frames or things like that, they are fine. HDVSplitt would stop at dropped frames. Also when I check the properties of the files the amount of dropped frames is 0. Axel |

There was another similar thread recently, people having crashes such as this.
The common theme there seemed to be the video card - Nvidia 8800 - which I notice you also have. Perhaps there is a driver problem here. Hope you find a solution. Ciao, marks |

For me, FFDshow and HajiMediaSplit gets my pooter to give up whe I use NLE:es.
I can play files just fine in the OS - but not edit them in NLE. FFDShow can make program exceptions - so in theory I could tell it not to touch premiere / vegas.... // Lz

I had a similar issue after upgrading to 8. I opened a ticket with Sony Support and they recommended completely removing everything and re-installing version 8 "fresh". For whatever the reason it fixed a whole host of issues fro me. Haven't had a problem since. |

Hi Guys,
I got a solution for my problems. Since I have captured my videos via HDVSplitt Sony Vegas screwed up with these files. The files are still fine but Vegas can not handle them. I needed to recapture all files and after that it was working. Since this seems to be a Vegas glitch I would recommend to everybody to check with which application the files are captured. It looks like that there are probably several different applications where Vegas is screwing up. Cross check every file in regard to the capture source and think than it will work. My problems are solved by that. Thanks Axel |

Can you point us to the thread please. I am an Nvidia 8800 GTX user and I would be interested to see what others are saying about their problems. I searched the forum for '8800' but couldn't find any threads with a common 8800 theme as you described. Cheers. For what it's worth, I have only experienced problems/crashes when using the new Titler and I do suspect these are related to the graphics card. I've turned off all the 'extra' bits that were installed along with the original driver(something called Movie Mode, as I recall, as well as other bits of junk) and have upgraded to the latest drivers. Still having those glitches in the Titler, though (or rather I would be having those glitches if I actually used the Titler, which I don't!). |

So, Alex, you're largely right. The issue here is that Vegas' high-performance low-memory mpeg mechanism doesn't understand every file out there. If it doesn't understand a file, it hands it off to a more comprehensive reader that has a larger memory footprint and lower performance.
Unfortuantely, most (if not all) of your files are getting handed off. This can happen if you capture over clip boundaries from some source types (different cameras do different things, as do different capture applications). Another fix, instead of re-capturing, would be to re-render all of the clips in question in a batch process in Vegas. It's not ideal, but the number of things that you can find in an "MPEG-2" file is pretty dizzying. -Matt |

do I get the same quality if I do a render and there is something strange with the file (at least for Vegas)? Axel |

Axel,
If you're wondering if you'll get the same quality after doing an intermediate render, you won't. If you're wondering if the readers produce identical output regardless of stream oddities in the files, they *should*. There may be discrepancies, but the representation of compressed content is supposed to be identical. |
