Hello:
I am a Sony vegas 6.0 user. I have a project that i just finished on Vegas that i am trying to submit to a filmfest. The problem is the Filmfest requirement for work submitted needs to be on uncompressed.mov file because it will be brought onto a Mac to combine all projects on a timeline. I tried to create a uncompressed.mov file using quicktime 6.0 for my video in vegas 6.0; however, when i try to render it in this format it brings up a error message and says it cant create the file (this is after it says 99%rendered and 2 hours of waiting). I tried rendering just a 5 second clip in the same format and it did it; my project is 20 minutes, is this more than quicktime can handle? My question is if anyone that has used Vegas has had the same problem if so any solutions and could anyone suggest another format that is available on PC that might be compatible with final cut pro besides quicktime 6.0. Any help would be gladly appreciated.
formats that are on my pc are:
Dolby Digital AC-3 [ac3]
MainconceptMPEG-1[.mpg]
0ggVorbis[.0gg]
realmedia 9[.rm]
Scott Studios Wave [wav]
Sony Wave64 [.w64]
video for windows [avi.]
wave microsoft [.wav]
.wma
.wmv

Once again i will gladly take any help i can get with this.

I have 70Gb's left on my computer; however, I tried getting my project onto a external harddrive and put it on my frieds computer (his has about 100Gb's) and it still gave me that error message and would not render in a uncompress.mov (quicktime6.0).
 
Is your filesystem FAT 32. DV is abaout 12.5 GB per hour of footage. You have 1/3 of a hour, and 1/3 of 12.5 is suspisciously close to 4gb, the file size limit of FAT.

If you're using fat, you'll need to render to an NTFS filesystem.

A film fest requiring uncompressed footage seems a little stupid to me, is that really what they want?
 
Yes i do have premier pro 1.5 and im going to try to render it there, thanks running.

Also, Aaron how would i check if my filesystem is fat 32 i did not see anything that said fat 32
 
Open up My Computer and right click on the volume (drive letter) that you were writing to and select 'properties'. It should say it in there. If you're running XP with explorer in non classic mode then just selecting the volume will show its filesystem on the left hand info pane.

Cheers
Aaron
