My C drive crashed 2 weeks ago. I put in a new drive C and reinstalled all my software and drivers. Otherwise no changes in my hardware or settings. Everything is working good currently, but Raylight.

Using Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 (not b and not c) Raylight working normally in normal timeline view. When I click on the "view in full screen" icon Raylight malfunctions. It beeps and the image freezes. Sometimes it is able to play a few seconds of the scenes just fine before freezing. Sometimes vegas crashes completely. Either way, I am unable to play back in full screen, which previously worked like a charm and is a function I really really need.

I NOTICED THAT SOME SCENS PLAY BACK FINE. Others hang constantly. I cannot see any difference in the project setting files... ???????????

I redownloaded Raylight (version 3.01) and reinstalled it. No improvement - same problem.

I also tried a few things to see if I could pin point any pattern to the error, but found it was inconsistent.

Could one of my vegas settings be wrong?

Currently in the "preference" options under "preview device" I have:

device = Window secondary display device:
Details = device connected
1920 X 1200
Display mode = use current settings
Scale output to fit display = ON
deinterlace = OFF
color management = OFF
recompress edited frame (I turned it off just in case) - no changes

I haven't seen this problem specifically, but check your preview quality settings, both in Vegas and Raylight. If one or both is too low, it could produce an issue.

Click to expand...

Raylight preview is set to max.

At top of preview docking window the setting is always BEST - FULL.

is there anywhere else in Vegas I need to check any other preview quality settings?
 
My Vegas CD is version 8.0

A few months ago I had donwloaded their upgrade (8.0b). I would like to download upgrade 8.0c (I assume that is free) but dont see it on their site. All I see is the new version 9.0 which costs money. Where can I download the previous upgrade (8.0c) safely? Maybe this would help?
 
Found upgrade! :) I will install it and see if this helps in any way. Wishful thinking, but who knows?

What's really weird here is that my crash scene, which is very long and has no less than 18 tracks stacked, edits, filters and the whole 9 yards, plays back fine. Other simple scenes hang miserably. I compared project settings on both scenes and they are identical...

I can't seem to find a pattern... :angry:

Previous to my crash every scene played beautifully... ??????

David what did you think about the EXTERNAL DISPLAY PREVIEW SETTINGS I posted above (from the "option" screen...)

Do they look OK?
 
Those preview settings should be fine. This is behavior I've never seen before -- I'd send a support request to DVFilm.
