Nigel O’Neill
The task is simple: take a 70 minute m2t file and cut it down to 50 minutes. The input file is 1080/50i and the project template is the default HDV 1080/50i template (PAL). The output template I am rendering as is mainconcept mpeg2, HDV 1080/50i. I am trying to give another editor a shortened version of the file.
I then choose best under video rendering quality and check ‘include audio stream’. I then select VBR and two-pass and then start the render. It gets to about 50% and then up pops the error. This happens in Vegas Pro 10 x32 and x64 bit versions. If I remove the tick against two pass, the render completes without incident.
I have generally had no luck with two-pass renders. They either don’t complete, or when they do, the video is just a solid green screen when played back.
I could just recapture a shorter version and give that to him, but that would be too easy 😉
Is there anyway to get more detailed information about the error beyond the cryptic “An Error Occurred while creating the media file (Name of file) The reason for the error could not be determined”?

Here is my check list
2. Try a Clean Re-Boot of your Computer
8. File locations
If you're working in an environment where files are scattered across multiple drives, try placing your media on your local disk drive.
10. Do you have Apple Quicktime installed ?
You must have the latest version of Apple Quicktime installed if working with .mp4 style formats. There really is no choice with this, please have Quicktime installed at all times for Vegas to work correctly.
5. Try working on your project in pieces
Try working on your project in pieces. For example if your timeline is 30 minutes long, save three ten minute sections into three project files using File -> Save As. Edit each section separately, render, and re-import into a new master project to stitch them together into a final audio and video stream.

Exactly the same problem, can do it at 1080p but no 720p.
Anybody found a solution?

Trying to create a music/video compilation using DVD
Architect, Version 5.0 (Build 186). Selecting the Preview seems like everything
works great. Next step, Make DVD. I
get a message, "An error occurred while writing a file. The reason for the
error could not be determined". During this process, the
"Rendering" looks like it completes. About 3 or 4 files into the
"Preparing" stage it errors out. Looking into the DVD project folder,
there are only 3 files. VIDEO_TS, VTS_01_0, and VTS_01_1.
I'm running this on Window 7 Professional (64bit). I've also
just loaded DVD Architect on my laptop, running Windows 10. I have the exact
same issue on both computers.
I've tried changing files, audio file types (MP3 or WAV),
video or picture files (AVI, MP4 or BMP). nothing wants to work.
I get the error if I have more than 1 audio file in the
compilation. Works ok if there is ONLY 1 audio file. which defeats the
purpose of making a compilation disc!
I'm still able to create other DVD projects or remake old projects.
looks like just the making a Music/Video Compilation option doesn't work.
Is there maybe some update or patch, or anything else to resolve this issue?
Have you tried rendering the files in Vegas to a DVD compliant MPEG2 template for video and an audio format like SonyWave64 or Dolby Digital?
It's always best to render the disc compliant files in Vegas than to let DVD Architect re-compress or encode them for you. Audio and video have to be separate.
Have you gone through the Show Me How Tutorial section "Creating a Music/Video Compilation" just in case you overlooked something?
Btw, build 186 was the last update of Sony DVD Architect Studio 5.0.

Just trying the new Radeon 5700 XT and discovered it will not allow VCE rendering - stops with: "An error occurred while creating the media file filename.mp4. The reason for the error could not be determined."
This is with v15 and v16 on Windows 10 v1806
This is with Radeon drivers 19.7.4 and 19.7.5
Works perfectly with RX580 and same drivers

Hmmm "There is no software that knows how to use it yet". I mutter. while ripping the damn thing out and putting the old RX580 back in again.
The fact that is uses the exact same driver as the previous generation is probably where the answer lies. if you go to download the latest driver for RX5 series or 5700 series - you get the same file.
Magix support finally responded to my question sent 3 days ago:
"Good day, I have just upgraded my computer from the AMD RX580 GPU to the AMD
5700XT and suddenly am no longer able to render using the AMD VCE Hardware render
encoder. Is this a known problem?

Their response: "Hello, Thank you for your message.
Which driver version is installed to the system for the new card?
Which VCE spec is the card running?
So one can deduce they either did not read my email or read it and are stalling for time as they work with AMD on the real drivers.
AMD have not responded at all, just the robot acceptance of the ticket

If you've been through many driver versions over the years, it sometimes pays to clean the slate by uninstalling your current video driver first. Then clean out any leftover remnants of past drivers by removing all the AMD and ATI directories in c:\Program Files, C:\ProgramData, and C:\users\ \AppData\local. Followed by a reboot and then a fresh install of the current driver. There's a utility from AMD that does all that but I think you need to be in safe mode to run it:
The one I like better is this one from Guru3D, which also does a registry scrub down. but I only use it myself if my manual directory removals do not do the trick:
Another possibility, if all else fails, is switching the video bios. AMD cards usually come with 2 different bios's on them. And a little switch, typically accessible from the top, looking down near the front of the card. if it's in the "1" position try toggling it to "2" while the power's off. Or vice versa.
Btw, I consider the forums at Guru3D my go to place for video board issues. They also cover Nvidia as well. Good luck and hope you work it out and post some benchmarks because that sounds like it might be a killer card if it works in Vegas.

No antivirus, no video drivers. Then I install the latest drivers from the respective vendors website. With the 5700 I tried the latest (Released 31 July) and the previous driver (Released 29 July) - performing a clean install of each. I did not try any of the previous versions but note that they are coming out fast+furious just days apart so I suspect they know things are not working in the wild. I suspect when and if they fix this, you are right, it will be an awesome GPU for Vegas
9. Virus Protection program is too aggressive
Try adding the .exe file for the program to the exception list for any anti-virus software you are running on the system.
17. What type of Video are you trying to Render/Create ?
If you are attempting to Render a 1080p Video from your project with too HIGH a bit rate (on 32bit versions of Vegas Movie Studio) it will crash older and slower computers with low RAM capacity and/or low powered CPUs.
A solution to get around this problem is obviously to lower the Bit Rate you are Rendering to. Anything under 10MBps should be more than enough to create a nice looking video. Trying to render to 20, 30, 40MBps is just silly.
Another solution for people on low powered machines is to switch to 720p settings instead.
22. If none of the above solutions work, you need to pull out the big guns and perform a clean uninstall and reinstall of all your sony programs

Ваши вопросы:
1) как записать проект в файл на комп, чтобы потом скинуть на диск , читаемый в DVD плэере?
Чтобы видео читалось в ДВД-плеере, одного Вегаса мало. Надо еще и DVD Architect использовать.
А Вегасе рендеришь проект через Файл-Создать как.
Тип файла - mpg. Предустановка - Видео поток DVD Architect PAL (только надо в настройках кодера поставить "Два прохода" и качество просчета - лучшее и звук включить). Хотя можно и без звука. А звук отрендерить отдельно в формат AC3.
В итоге получится 2 файла с одинаковым именем и расширениями .mpg и .ac3
Первый файл и закидывается в DVD Architect (а звуковую дорожку сама подхватит)
Тут и на второй вопрос ответ назрел:
2) как сделать красивое меню, чтобы потом читалось на DVD плэере?
В DVD Architect есть с десяток готовых менюшек. Можно посмотреть. Или скачать готовые шаблоны тут:

3) можно ли сделать видео наоборот?, если можно, то как?
Конечно же можно! Правой кнопкой щелкаем по клипу на таймлайне и в выпадающем меню выбираем "Реверс"
А вообще может есть уроки по монтажу в читаемом формате( не обязательно , чтобы аудио-видеоуроки) на русском языке?

4) как увеличить или замедлить скорость видео при его монтаже, работаю в Sony Vegas 8.0?
Наводим курсор на конец нашего фрагмента, пока он не примет форму , и просто растягиваем или сжимаем клип при нажатой клавише Ctrl. Максимально - 10х.

6. Try replacing the media in your project
If it always hangs at the same frame or place, try deleting the files at that point in your timeline and then replace those with newly transcoded or recaptured clips.
15. Are you using GPU Acceleration ?
Try turning OFF GPU Acceleartion in the Vegas Pro or Movie Studio Platinum Preferences, which are found in the Video tab.
Go to Options - Preferences - Video
1. Re-boot your Computer !
If you have been doing a lot of editing over many hours, then it is often a good idea to SAVE As and then do a RE-BOOT of your computer before you attempt to Render a Video. This will clean out your memory and give you a clean slate.
13. Did you add a Large Number of Video Fx ?
Sometimes if you add too many Video FX into a chain, it can cause an immediate crash.
First step to diagnose this problem is to temporarily TURN OFF all the Video Fx and then try to render again. If it works, then you know one of the Video Fx is causing the problem. Try next to turn ON one Video Fx at a time and do more test renders until you can narrow down the problem child.
21. Dynamic RAM Preview amount in the Vegas Preference Settings
Open Vegas and go to Options/Preferences/Video
The first setting says: Dynamic RAM Preview max (MB):
The default value is 200 MB and for most people it is best to leave this at the default 200 MB value.
If you set this too high and don't have enough RAM (memory) installed, there won't be enough RAM left to process your videos when you are rendering your final video and this may cause a render freeze or crash.
Sometimes another weird problem may occur, which I call a Vegas X-file. If Vegas crashes and reports an exception error, sometimes setting the Dynamic RAM Preview value to 0 MB (that is zero megabytes) will fix the render crash. However, as I have previously said, 200 MB is normally the safest setting.
19. Which format are you rendering to ?
Avoid Windows Media Video .wmv if you don't have much RAM and very low CPU power, when working with 1080p Video. Windows Media Media will suck up ALL your CPU resources while rendering - it's just how the codec behaves.
Sony AVC .mp4 or Mainconcept AVC .mp4 are the best formats to render to, on older/slower computers.
If rendering any AVC templates, make sure to use CPU only encoding.
Daniel DeCarli
Hum… Thats funny because I am having the same problem. But I can render it at 1080p but not at 720p. Does anybody have an answer for that? Thanks.
Daniel DeCarli
Wow you got Pro 11 already? Cool! I’m not getting to the Pro version yet. I use Movie Studio Platinum HD 11 Suite.
Well the guy on the top already said he was rendering on the same template of his original video when he said: “The input file is 1080/50i and the project template is the default HDV 1080/50i template (PAL). The output template I am rendering as is mainconcept mpeg2, HDV 1080/50i.”
But that’s a good point you made. I do the same stuff you do to solve a problem in Vegas and it’s always good to share our conclusions. Thanks for sharing it.
Answer: When Movie Studio or Vegas Pro stops processing in the middle of rendering a new video, and gives you an error message like this: "An error occurred while creating the media file - the reason could not be determined", there are a couple of reasons why this has happened.
16. How much RAM do you have installed ?
Version 11 and older versions of Vegas Movie Studio can only access a maximum of 4GBs of Memory (RAM). Even though this is the case, please make sure that you DO actually have 4GBs of RAM installed. I have seen time and time again some people on Laptops only having 2GBs of RAM installed. This is just way too low for any Video Editing program to work with properly. Once you throw a couple of HD Video files into Vegas, it's going to completely freak out.
RAM is cheap, so make sure you have the full 4GBs installled.
14. Are you using the New Blue Fx Titler Pro ?
Older versions of the Titler Pro were very buggy in Vegas Pro and could cause Vegas Pro to freeze or crash. Check updates for the Titler Pro and then do another render.
18. What type of CPU do you have ?
To have a great experience with Vegas Movie Studio when editing and creating full 1080p HD Video projects, you must have a modern 4x Core CPU (Central Processing Unit) as the "Brain" of your computer. Older Duo Core CPUs just can't handle processing HD Video files, and can be a reason for Rendering to crash and produce errors.
20. What is the condition of your Hard Drive ?
HD Video files are very large, so you need plenty of Hard Disc space for them to be written to. If your Hard Drive is almost full and never been de-fragmented, it can slow up rendering times and in worse case scenarios create a crash.
4. Remove unused Media
Remove unused media to help free up resources. You can purge unused media from your Project Media Window in Vegas and Movie Studio. To do this, go to the Project Media tab and you will see a button that looks like a lightning bolt. Clicking on that will remove any unused media from your project and help to free up system resources. Movie Studio 13 Platinum has this feature in Tools -> Clean Project Media.
3. Reset the software back to default values
Sometimes mysterious alien artefacts and corrupt files can build up inside the temporary files cache and cause bizarre behaviour. Resetting the program and deleting the temporary files cache, can often fix weird behaviour and will make your program look like it was just freshly installed. It is safe to do and will not delete any of your saved projects, if you have been remembering to always do regular saves while working on a project.
IMPORTANT - Please read this before attempting a program reset!
If the program crashed while editing your project and you have not been doing regular saves, you can end up losing all your work! However Movie Studio and Vegas Pro may have done an auto-save of your project file, which can be recovered and re-saved if you're lucky. Auto-saved project files are saved to the Temporary Files Cache, so it is important to first inspect this folder before your do a full program reset and delete of the cache.
The folder address will be different for everyone, but normally looks something like either one of these:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\14.0\
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Movie Studio Platinum\13.0\
To find out where the temporary files cache is located on your computer, open Movie Studio or Vegas Pro and go to Options/Preferences/General. Highlight and copy the Temporary Files Folder location using CTRL + C and then open up a Windows Explorer window in Documents. In the address bar located at top of window, press CTRL + V to paste the address.
You are now in the temporary files folder/cache. If any projects were auto-saved, they will normally look something like 00000000.restored.veg. Copy every single .veg or .vf file you can find and then paste them back into a safe folder location on your computer, like Documents/Vegas Projects. Now open each one up in Movie Studio or Vegas Pro and see if you have been lucky enough to find a crashed or missing project. If you want to keep it, make sure to re-save immediately with a new project file name that makes sense to you.
Once you have retrieved anything important from the temporary files cache, you can now perform a full program reset by doing this following:
Hold down the CTRL and SHIFT keys on your keyboard, and at the same time double click the program icon on your desktop to boot the program.
Select Delete Cache and Yes
The cache is now cleaned. After a reset, you will have to reconfigure your favourite settings in Options/Preferences and the Project Properties window!

I got the same error. I managed to solve the problem after some trial-and-error. Here is what I did…(By the way, I am using Vegas Pro 11)
1. I clicked “render as” in the File menu and decided that MPEG-2 was a pretty good default format so I then selected the “MainConcept MPEG-2” preset.
2. After looking at all the “sub” presets (I guess they are just the variants of MPEG-2) I decided I wanted to use “DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream”. This is because I knew I would be using DVD Architect, because I knew I wanted NTSC (a basic TV standard), and because I knew I wanted my video to be in widescreen.
3. Now here is where I think I did the wrong thing…I then decided to “Customize Template” (because I am particular about my videos).
4. The default resolution (with the above preset) was 720 480, but I wanted to use 1280 720 (an HD res which by definition is not NTSC), so I modified that part of the preset to be 1280 720.
5. Immediately after I started the render I got this message: “An error occurred while creating the media file (nameoffile). The reason for the error could not be determined.”
6. When I changed the resolution back to 720 480, the render worked as normal.
7. In order to get a video file in 1280 720 I used a preset that was not NTSC, but rather one that was for rendering HD: MainConcept MPEG-2 HDV 720-30p.
8. I ended up using “MainConcept MPEG-2 DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream” for standard definition video (probably to go on a DVD) and “MainConcept MPEG-2 HDV 720-30p” for HD video.
My theory about why the error happens is that Vegas doesn’t like you to modify presets to a HIGHER resolution than the default resolution in the preset. So basically, if you want to do standard definition video, use the appropriate preset. Likewise for HD.
That is my theory based on my experience with the error. I hope it proves helpful to someone. And BTW, those who posted above helped me get to my conclusion.

7. Try to avoid any customisation with your rendering templates
If you are using custom settings for rendering, try rendering without any customization applied. If that works, then you can guess that your custom settings are not compatible with your rendering format.
12. Check for Free Updates and New Build Versions of your Program
Always make sure you are using the latest Build Version of the program you are using. Bugs and updates are continually been fixed and added to the programs. Many times a simple program update may fix your problem.
Please note that in 2016 Sony has sold all their Vegas software to Magix software. If you try an use the function search for updates in any Sony programs now, it will no longer work.
To download old "Sony" versions of Vegas Movie Studio, Vegas Pro and DVD Architect, go to this special download link on the Magix website and enter your Serial Number. If it is a valid number, you will be able to download a fresh copy of your old programs.
Any Vegas programs released during or after 2016, will now be Magix versions and can be re-downloaded directly from your Magix Account or from the Update Links here at Movie Studio Zen.
11. OLDER VERSIONS OF MOVIE STUDIO HAD PROBLEMS - Which version of Vegas Pro or Movie Studio are you using ?
Older versions of Vegas Movie Studio were susceptible to a Low Memory Error in particular situations. Specifically, Vegas can have a problem accessing enough RAM (memory) for users who had Movie Studio HD Platinum 32bit version installed on Windows 64bit Operating System.
Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 and all older versions of Movie Studio are only 32bit programs, which means they can only use a Maximum of 4GBs of RAM, even on a 64bit Computer that may a much higher amount of RAM installed. Not only is there a 4GB limit, 64bit users could also experience a glitch which limited there available access to RAM, to just a mere 2GBs. Movie Studio Platinum 12 and 13 now come with a 64bit and 32bit version of the program.
In a project with 720p or 1080p HD Video, this results in Vegas just freezing up. Fortunately this problem for 64bit users was fixed during one of the free Build Updates for Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 - Build 283.
