Observing that MPEG2 Video for DVD rendering times are a lot slower in Vegas Pro 11
So I just posted a message about Windows Media Video (.wmv) not rendering at the same speeds that Vegas Pro 10 could do. So after discovering this, I thought I better check out another rendering profile that I use quite a bit – MPEG2 for DVD.
There is definitely something wrong big time, with the Vegas Pro 11 rendering engine for MPEG2.
I did a series of comparison experiments using a 10 minute clip of 1080-60i AVCHD video straight out of the camera, rendering it to MPEG2 720×480 Widescreen NTSC Video.*Test One: Vegas Pro 11 (425) with GPU assist in Video-Preferences turned ON.
Total time to render = 27 minutes !
During this time, only about 20% of my i7-2600k CPU was being utilized.*Test Two: Vegas Pro 11 (425) with GPU assist in Video-Preferences turned OFF.
Total time to render = 21 minutes.
Once again, very low utilization of my CPU – about 30%*Test Three: Vegas Pro 10e
Total time to render = 4:28 minutes !!!
100% of my CPU was being utilized during this render.When I built my new i7-2600k machine 6 months ago, Vegas Pro 10 was performing better than I could have dreamed of. My rendering times were just a joy to see. I was really looking forward to using Vegas Pro 11, but appears that we will have to wait a little while longer until the “bug infestation” is removed.
I have reported this to Sony Creative Software.Has anyone else noticed this rendering problem yet?
Once again, I am on a completely new machine with all the latest drivers and updates installed.On a positive note, Main Concept AVC rendering times are now lightning fast on Vegas Pro 11 – can’t wait until the rest catch up.

Sure sounds like a fast system, when things line up. I tried the same experiment: 10 minutes of AVCHD, direct from the camcorder (Panasonic HMC40, PH-mode, 1080/60i), rendered to the Main Concept Widescreen NTSC DVD template. This is rendering from my 3TB D: drive to my 1.5TB C: drive. This is actually the first time I ran Vegas 11.425… used the original extensively over the last few weeks.

I saw the opposite, but I may be limited by the drives. The CPU/Coress (all 12 in task manager) were running at 80+%
It took 19m:12s within version 10e and 17m:35s in version 11 build 425.
