Yeah, I tried that also. I also tried rendering a single track from the small MEP, and that stopped at 37%, although others worked. So it was a matter of the track being wrongly exported or something... Thanks, though.
It ended up being that the file I was sent just wasn't working correctly; it was corrupted or something, not sure. And when I said it saved as an x264 .avi fine, it rendered fine, as in completion, but when I tried to play it, it stopped at two seconds. Anyway, I had more than enough HDD space, but I'm going to have to deal with most of the 64-bit codecs, as I can only get 64-bit VDub to work...
