Sony Vegas Pro 8.1, Windows 7 64-bit, and Error 0x80010105 (message missing)

I was trying to figure out how best to render videos in Sony Vegas for YouTube. I used to just use DivX and hope for the best, but I’ve upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit and Sony Vegas Pro 8.1 (the only 64-bit compatible version of Vegas8) doesn’t recognize DivX. I found a partial solution referring to h.264 here: http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/24/874371 & http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/24/874375 But when I tried to render with the project template “YouTube (HD)”, the render would fail with this error message – “An error occoured while creating the media file xxxxx.yyy. Error 0x80010105 (message missing)”. The suggestions posted here: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/884273 said to try “compatibility mode: Vista no service packs” and “Run As Administrator” which didn’t solve the problem. So I dug into the project template and lo and behold – de-selecting two-pass on the video tab allowed the render to complete perfectly. Don’t know that it’s a final solution, but … Continue reading →

The A-Team – Century 20 @ Bella Terra, Huntington Beach, CA

A very well done remake. I wasn’t too impressed with the trailers (well ok, I was cuz stuff blew up, but still), but the film is absolutely phenomenal – a real hoot and it pays respect in all the right places to what came before and especially to those who came before (that’s right…keep an eye out for the original Face and the original Murdock!). Favorite quote: Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus: [justifying his newly adopted non-violent attitude, he quotes Gandhi] “Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.” Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith: [answers with his own Gandhi quote] “It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.” — IMDb Quotes: The A-Team (2010)

Pizza Planet truck!!! A113 license plate!!! Pizza Planet driver!!! My Neighbor Totoro!!! Bud Luckey (Rick Ricker from The Incredibles)!!!

CD-ROM Not Recognized

Deleting UpperFilter and Lower Filter registry entries usually does the trick. Or replacing the system32/drivers/ files with working drivers. Usually gets corrupted by viruses (they don’t want you installing anti-viruses via optical media I guess). http://sillydog.org/forum/sdt_9200.php

Internet Explorer Cannot Display The Webpage

The antivirus virus will try to disable Windows communicating with the outside world by enabling the proxy service. There are two ways to disable it: Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Connection -> LAN Connection or you can get to the same Internet Options from Control Panel.

Paul Praise songs going on all around the world at different times (I Will Bring Praise) (I Am Undone) One thing in my head – being imitators of Christ Posters on the wall As a songwriter trying to imitate popular artists Ludicrous trying to imitate Christ because He’s so perfect Ephesians 5:1-2 Not being a stupid drunk, etc What could Paul possibly mean for fallen human beings Live a life of love Ephesians 5 talks about husbands and wives loving as Christ loves us For we are members of His body I’ve got His DNA Who are we trying to imitate? Imitation starts at birth We’re all imitating someone either consciously or subconsciously Eric Estrada I thought I was pretty hot in my kindergarten picture Michael Jordan Wham make it big album cover Dad singing Plaintive nice Mario Lanzo face He listened to Dean Martin Wasn’t attempting to imitate – … Continue reading →

Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time – Premiere Cinema 11, Galveston, TX

Directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter 5), music by Harry Gregson-Williams (Chronicles of Narnia). Very enjoyable. Little kid free running + big kid free running. I never played Prince of Persia (preferred Assassins Creed), but story looks like fun (if adaptation is loyal).
