Another topic about slow rendering

I believe internet HD settings are 8Mbps average for 720 and 12Mbps average for 1080. Really, that should be enough for most video unless you have alot of motion and complex subject matter. When you upload to youtube, they will recompress your video again in most cases and it could go back to looking rough but you definately want to upload something that looks good to start with. You can play with changing the Profile from main to high in the “internet” templates and see if it helps.
I just googled “what is a deblocking filter” and got the info instantly. If you don’t understand the technical details behind it and it doesn’t make a visiable difference then who cares? You certainly can’t expect people here to bring you up to speed on h.264 encoding when you can read plenty of well written informative articles that are already out there.
From what you have said, it sounds like the $100 difference would be worth it to you. The two extra physical cores on the i7 will be invaluable if you end up rendering hours of video.

I used to run Vegas 8 Pro on an Intel Core2 Duo with 4gb RAM, and an 8 minute clip would take about 2 hours to render. It’s time to step up to an Intel Ivy Bride i5 or i7 processor. I also noticed faster renders with my new system when I upgraded from Vegas 8 Pro to Vegas 12 Pro, just as an fyi.

I am most likely going with the i5-2500k and use the money I save to put into getting 8GB RAM. I think that should be a pretty solid system… I hope. I just ordered the mobo today so bits and pieces will slowly come together!

Good luck with your new system. I’m positive that you will be much happier with your render times.

“My specs seem to pass the ones listed by Sony by a fair amount.”
You can get by with a core duo, just don’t expect snappy response times on the timeline and quick renders. It’s like trying to outrace a Porsche when you have a Lada. Both will get you to your destination, only one lets you have a beer and a meal before the other vehicle arrives 🙂
An i7 or a 2nd generation i5 processor will certainly have the power you need, but you are potentially looking at a new motherboard, RAM and possibly a new power supply.
Depending on what I am rendering out and the amount of FX aaplied, I can get real time or better renders on my system, and it is 2 years old now.
My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 11 (x32/x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

Yeah the downside to all this is needing to buy a new CPU, RAM, and motherboard. I got a great price on a mobo and still searching for a good price on the i5-2500k. Can’t imagine how nice it must be to be able to render a 3 minute video in 5 minutes haha took me 30+ last night for my latest 3 minute vid. Thanks for the help so far guys, much appreciated!

Well I got the new system up and running and the good news is I am impressed with the response time while doing the editing. But what I am disappointed about is the render times! a 6 minute 720p video with little editing (slight sharpen) takes 26 minutes to render. CPU is 100% on all 4 cores and only 2.5GB of my 8GB of RAM is being used. Is this normal render time for a quick edit 6 min video?
Specs:
Asus P8P67-M Pro REV 3.0
Intel i5-2500k 3.30Ghz
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
GTX560 1024MB
