Thanks for the reply Tony.
I'll get rid of the files tonight. Is this likely to be the problem though? I cant help but feel these are unlikely faults, especially given the problems I had with VideoStudio.
As a side note, is it worth the upgrade to windows 7 as far as resource availability for PowerDirector goes? I work in IT so know its better in lots of ways in comparison to vista but if it offers better performance than vista i may well upgrade.
At the end of the day i just want something which will faultlessly edit my AVCHD footage and it seems that is hard to come by, even though my machine is of a good spec.

HI, in response to your questions:
-You have lots of free harddisk space? 82GB free
-You have defragged your drive in the last week? No, however upon checking its 2% fragmented
-You've run the Disk Cleanup Wizard and cleaned up unecessary stuff? I use CCleaner to do this and yes, it has been run
-You have the latest video drivers installed? (plus CUDA or AVIVO depending on your video card brand) I installed the latest Nvidia forceware the other day to try and fix issues with Video Studio. CUDA is enabled in PD
-You've tried rendering to a different format, such as Mpeg2? Not yet. I'll give this a go.
-Vista service Pack 2 is installed? Yes
-Shadow File rendering is disabled? Yes
-Shadow file folder has been cleaned out? No - Where isd this?
-Try disabling virus scanner from Powerdirector folders? AVG free is disdabled while rendering.

Me again ![]()
I've removed a clip which it seemed to crash on and then did the render again. This time I get a 'not enough system memory' error.
I always run rask manager when rendering and the physical memory never gets over 2.5gb even though i have 4gb in there.
The values in task manager show that i have about 7mb free during the render although the graph above doesnt suggest that im running out.

Thanks for the reply. I have read that thread but I cant see anything in there which would help, apart from testing each file. I can confirm that every file will play correctly as i have played each file for editing on this same computer.
I followed some tips like removing the shadow files but that didnt make any difference.

A bit more information. I installed the latest build and now, instead of that error I posted, when it gets to the same bit i get a runtime error (path to the exe) abnormal program termination.
The event log shows 2 entries:
The program PDR8.exe version 8.0.0.2220 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: 9c0 Start Time: 01ca92333da16bb1 Termination Time: 65
Faulting application PDR8.exe, version 8.0.0.2220, time stamp 0x4add6b2d, faulting module vp6vfw.dll, version 6.0.6.4, time stamp 0x3f7c8caf, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00001013, process id 0x1e64, application start time 0x01ca923bba484dc1.

HI Guys,
I'm normally a Videostudio user but I've given up with that having had problems with rendering problems... seems I might have the same here.
Power director seems far superiour from the full demo i'm using and I decided the proof of the putting would be in recreated my problem project which caused the videostudio dump!
So my project contains hd avchd files, MP3's, smartsound quicktracks, an itunes downloaded track (mp4?) and images. I also played around on some scenes with the fix and enhance tools.
Anyhow, i get the attached error when rendering. Can anyone tell me whats going on? My PC is a 3ghz quad core, 4 gb ram, windows vista, 1 internal SATA HDD and one external USB HDD (this has the clips on although i am rendering to the internal hdd)
Does anyone have any ideas? Im desperate to get something that will reliably render AVCHD from my Panasonic SD9 so if this can be sorted i'll be puying straight away!
