Vegas 11 render .wmv files
Why does Vegas render slower and slower as it processes a WMV file.
My Vegas 11 starts wmv render using 75 – 80% CPU and 5 to 6 GB ram.
But this slows to a crawl later in the rendering process. Any work around? Any advice?

From ever since, whenever i do render WMV files,
that’s how it seems to handle rendering that format.Steve Rhoden

I have always understood that Vegas is slow to render .wmv files. What really puzzles me is why the render rate varies so much. I’m not running out of disk space or RAM. The CPUs just seem to slow down after the first few minutes of rapid rendering. Eventually using only about 12% of CPU capacity.
Where I come from a 15 minute video should take approx 15 times longer to render than a 1 minute video, everything else being equal. Generally speaking, after 4% of rendering completed, with Vegas the estimated time remaining is established and you can go get a burger and coke. Not with wmv files! The longer it renders the slower it gets. It will finally come to a crawl speed. This is just stupid.

This sounds like it might be a bug. I would report it to Sony. Usually a slowing down like that indicates resource contention of some kind.
Vegas has never handled WMV well and I avoid that format at all costs. IMHO, MP4 is a better delivery format in both quality and compatibility (PC/Mac) and renders really quick in Vegas Pro 11.0 using the MainConcept AVC codec which is now GPU enabled.
