Okay. I've been all through this forum. I've been using Vegas 6.0 for a year now, and never have I had any problems until now. I have the 1 hour, 45 min graduation video shot mostly in 60i, and some broll in 24pA, again, 24PA, both rendered to 24p avi with the 2-3 pulldown, then inserted into a 24p timeline. Am I still f-ing up, or is there something else. I keep getting about 80 or so % into the render to 24p mpeg-2 DVD template for burning, until it stops and says "an unexpected error occured while writing file, cause is unknown." WTF!!!!!!! Tell me I am an idiot and there is a simple way to cure this. Or is Vegas not perfect after all. Help or I am forced to try APP 2.0.
