Sony Vegas 12 WONT RENDER MY CLIP

I posted this problem a while back and never got a solution. Now - I need a solution.

I am using Vegas Pro 12. I have a short 5 minute clip that has a frame size of 854x480, Data rate 5277kbps, bitrate 5472kbps, frame rate 29 frames/sec.

I need have an intro and an outro that I need to add on either side of this clip, and then render it. Simple right?

When I render on as MainConcept HD 1280x720p, frame rate 29.970, maximum bps 16,000,000, average bps, 8,000,000 it renders my intro then it goes black and stops. When I use the exact same settings but render on 854x480, this doesn't help.

I have tried a whole bunch of changes but every time it gets to part where the video starts, the rendering stops.

Anyone know why this could be?

Any help is much appreciated, cheers.
 
Have you tried the Sony codec for rendering instead of the MainConcept one? I have heard that codec can cause problems. Smart Render (or whatever it's called) is that turned on or off?
