Maybe it's the video card drivers. If you select system on control panel you can find out what video card you have and just type it into google and drivers and you shoul be able to find some.

You can tell it not to automatically restart on a blue screen if you goto advanced tab on system and then start up and recovery settings and take the tick off the automatically restart on system failure.

Yeah, If you're worried about your files then yeah you can move them

I know it's never affected my files before.

Hmm, I'm trying to think whether it'll be able to go back that far with vista, but there shouldn't be a problem

Yup, totally undoable if you're not happy

Yeah I know how to do it, using vista myself

Yeah sure just let me know when you want to do the restore and I'll help

I was actually thinking this shutting down issue only happens when I use sony vegas. So maybe I should delete it and download it again? My only issue with that is; will my half-finished projects open? I use 7 now, if i download 7 again, will they still open???

Hey everybody, I'm new here and just recently started using Sony Vegas Pro 8. My question is this... How come when i render my movie as an .avi the reversed sped up parts of my movie are black when i play the avi? I'm not sure if it has something to do with the reversed clips being subclips or what

. Sorry if this question was already answered, just really late here so I cant read back for too long.

yeah; that happens to me in vegas 7. i've found the only way to get around it is to save the clips you want to reverse in .wmv and then import them again. im not sure why it does it; vegas just has issues with AVI files sometimes :S

I just tried rendering the whole thing as wmv and it didnt let me said there was no template for it. Do i need to download anything for it?

hmm, thats weird. do you mean it said there was no template for .wmv? cos there usually is by default. but i remember when i started with vegas 7 I had no audio effects and all I had to do was download updates and they were there. perhaps you could try that?

to check for updates, open vegas, select 'Help' from the toolbar, then click 'Sony On The Web' then click "latest updates" and it'll take you to a webpage where you find your version of Vegas, in your case Pro 8, and see if there are updates. if there are, download and install them, re-open vegas and see if the template is there

if that doesnt work, could you possible send me a screencap of what you see when it says there's no template? it might make it easier for me to help

well I changed the clips back and reedited most of it... but now only some parts work and others are just black. Most of the footage it skips over is really quick sped up video. It plays fine in the preview in Vegas...

This is getting so annoying

edit:

I took one part of my video from the beginning and put it towards the end sped up and that wont even show in the avi... Any help would be much appreciated on this

Sorry, rapozaster. I have no idea about that

I do though, have my own random avi question. My sister's vegas plays the video and audio of .avi whereas mine just plays the audio. If it's possible, is there a way to make mine play video and audio or just video? It's really annoying.

there is if you download th avic AVI Four CC code changer. i use it all the time to get audio for my .avi shows i d/load. there's a link and a tutorial on how to use it somewhere on here, ill have a look for it for you

EDIT: Found it in the All In One Help thread

Ah, unfortunately, that never works for me

I'll try it again to make sure!

Nope, still only gives me the audio and the video part is "offline"

is there anything I can install to make Sony Vegas accept it? If I can get avic to work I'd be happy with that but I don't get why it never works for me

ETA: I just checked on Sony Vegas and it doesn't even give me the audio properly, it gives me about six seconds of messed up audio (bits of audio from different parts of the ep) out of the whole episode.
