I'm digitising my old VCR tapes and having captured them successfully, I'm having this crash problem during the"share" stage of VS9 as the files are rendered as MPEGs and saved again.
Onoe or two crashes at 90% might be coincidence but I've now had 4 on 3 different AVI files - each time with the "Windows has encountered a problem" screen coming up as the counter gets to 90%. These are all very large files - complete movies - but each time I've been able to render them successfuly in Pinnacle Studio 10, but I'd much rather use VS9 if possible.
Can anybody please help me with this strange problem.
TIA. John.

G'Day John,
I suggest that you follow the troubleshooting hints listed here:
http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/video_stud ... pid=211086
Presumably there is something in the video content that VS is having difficulty digesting. The technique described will hopefully allow you to isolate the problem area and work around it.
It's a shame that ULead haven't expended more efforts to fix this bug - it has been present (AFAIK) since at least VS 8.
Goodluck,
Peter

G'Day to you as well Peter (it's etting on for midnight in London).
Thanks very much for the link. I'll certainly try the tips out tomorrow. Just can't be a coincidence - same place 90% in the rendering on 3 different files surely - after all the files are of different lengths - can't believe that they all have something that VS9 doesn't like at the same percentage render!
I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks again. John.

I'm not sure that the "90%" indicates the problem is 9/10's of the way through the video file 
You are quite correct that 3 different video files of different lengths should not exhibit a problem at the same percentage point.
But it could just as easily identify a software bug that is triggered by something (much) earlier in the video file and it doesn't actually exhibit the symptoms until the 90% point i.e. perhaps a memory leak or a route through the code which eventually causes a crash at the 90% render point?
This problem has occured enough times now for so many people that I am sure ULead could have fixed it if they really tried. Certainly the impression I have gained over the two years I have been on this forum is that ULead must have a policy of ignoring bugs i.e. I believe they probably consider VS X "complete" and devote all internal resources to the next project - if they happen to "stumble" across an obvious bug then you might get a fix via a patch release - but otherwise they just ignore it all and leave forums such as this to help customers via "work arounds".
Anyway, hope you find an easy fix for your problems
