  • OS Drive or Dedicated Drive for Vegas Pro 8?

    Posted by Ray Sherman on June 17, 2008 at 6:17 pm

    Hi Everyone,
    I have been using a 500GB external hard drive for capturing, storing, burning, etc. for Sony Vegas Pro 8 and DVD Architect. I used Spotted Eagles setup method found in VASST in which I went through a couple times.
    The reason I am asking the following question is because when I switch to DVD Architect, my edited rendered movie for some reason is located under My Documents in my operating systems C/ hard drive.
    Should have I installed the Sony Vegas Pro 8 and DVD Architect installation CD’s on a differant drive other than my OS C/ hard drive? Before trying it, I would like to know if it can be done this way. I am under the impression that everything should be off the OS C/ hard drive for smooth operation. I would “appreciate” your help for proper setup. Thank you, Ray

    Yes. You can install the programs elsewhere. I doubt you will see much of a difference. However, I would recommend that you encode/render to another drive other than the OS drive or the source file drive (drive that contains your unedited original footage the Vegas is pooling from).

    I would leave the program installed on your C drive. In the Options – Prefs you can change your rendering and storage drives. Vegas defaults to storing your rendered videos in My Docs. Change that to another drive and you’ll be fine.

    Thanks Allen! I believe that was my problem. I assumed that it was changed and didn’t check to make sure it wasn’t going onto my C drive. Thanks again, Ray
