Improving Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 12 _ Rendering Time
I have approximately 200 videos to render into .mp4 format. The video length can be anywhere between 2 to 8 minutes. The video format for the original source video is .mpg.
The videos will be used for an instruction purposes and shipped on a DVD You can see more about the end product at the URL: https://www.bagpipe-tutorials.com/bagpipe-tutor.html
More detail about my hardware configuration and Vegas Settings are can be seen on this document https://www.bdot-inc.com/SVDocument_20130623.pdf
The problem I am facing is that a 5 minute video is taking me 2 hours to render. There is hardly any difference in rendering speed between CPU and GPU process.
Could you please check my settings and comment on anything that I could do to speed up the rendering process.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I found a thread on Sony Vegas forum which suggested that you reduce the Dynamic Ram setting to a lower value. They used 375 MB, I tried it and lowered it to 250 MB. 2 Video that was previously taking 2 hours plus, now takes 2 to 3 minutes. Previously I was using 7 000 MB for the Dynamic Ram setting.
This is coupled with using CPU for rendering and not GPU. GPU rendering value is set to “Off”.

You didn’t post your project settings or the media settings so we can see if they match your render settings. These will have an affect on render times.
I did noticed that your render is an odd 512×282 so I’m guessing that your CPU is having to resize each and every frame and this probably contributing to why it’s taking so much time.

The AMD processor is far from the best CPU for video rendering, but what John Rofrano said about your source footage ratio being changed in it’s final render output is 1000% the reason why you’re getting the horribly long render times. I tried a few render tests when I built my new system this past December, and one of the tests I did was down-converting my 1080p data. This increased my render times significantly.
Why such a small video size for a DVD?

Thanks guys for the replies.
The small video size is because I have to fit approximately 80 videos onto a dvd and 100 or so audio clips. Both the audio and video clips are linked to a PDF tutorial document of about 80 pages.
I will update the media settings onto this PDF document after this post.

Oh, so the DVD is just the media that you deliver it on but the project is not a playable DVD. I get it.
