Still having long render times
I did another render of video that was captured from a VHS tape. The video capture was done with a “pass through” from VHS player through my Sony VX2100 camera to the hard drive. This video was 1 hour and 20 minutes long. I simply loaded the entire video onto the time line and added a fade-in and a fade-out. This render also took about 4 and a half hours. I am using Vegas 5, a Pentium 4 3.00 GHz computer with 1 GB of RAM. All Windows updates are current. I’ve checked both videos and have found no problems with opacity or other issues. I have 4 software programs installed on this particular computer…Vegas 5, DVDA2, Nero, and Norton AV. When rendering I always shut down my wireless connection and disable Norton Auto Protect. Any other ideas why my render times seem to be increasing?

Another render today. 1 hour and 45 minute video, fade in and fade out, no transitions. MPEG2 setting with DVDA stream. The only change was to the avg bitrate…adjusted to 5,500,00 to fit onto DVD. This render took 5 hours and 10 minutes. I rendered a video on my other computer (P4 2.8 GHz machine, 1 GB RAM) that was 1 hour and 25 minutes in length. That render took 2 hours and 20 minutes. I still can’t figure out what is going on with my main editing computer. Something seems to be using up processing, causing my renders to be much longer than in the past. Anybody got any ideas?

Maybe time to upgrade the PC a bit. @least more RAM. All my videos render super fast on my Intel Quad Q6600
with 4gigs of DDR2 8500 RAM. -
No doubt that more RAM would help, I’m just stumped as to why this computer would be having longer render times than it used to. My next step is to get all projects off of it and defrag the drives, maybe that will bring it back to normal.
