digitalFAQ.com Forum - How to render .avi file using VideoStudio, aborts?

I'm up against a hard deadline of close of business today to have the video ready for my father's funeral on Wednesday. The video has been edited entirely in VideoStudio and it looks beautiful in preview. However, every time I attempt to reder it (venue specs call for mp4, 1920x1080, 29.97 fps) the output crashes at the 9% point, before any preview video is available.

I believe that there is a codec mismatch, which is difficult to understand as my software and workflow has not changed since I was doing this on a regular basis a few years back. However, Billy Boy may have kneecapped Windows. I'm pasting in the codec information from one of the videos and I can upload sample frames. My father is having his memorial service in the same auditorium in which my sister was married and it is very important to our family to be able to render this video.
