AVCHD Render to MP4
Hi,
I have been trying to render AVCHD footage to an MP4 file. It will render a chunk of frames (approximately two hundred), then wait for a few seconds, and then render frames again (another couple of hundered) and wait a couple of seconds, so on, and so on . . .
It takes a good while, twenty plus minutes, to render the file.
On my old machine it took only eight minutes, my new machine is taking twenty-five or there abouts.
Any ideas on why it would do that “wait” and then progress again?
I have read about it passing back to the codec to make sure its producing the file in the best way possible… fine – I get that, however, my old 8GB i7-950 doesnt have this issue and my new 16GB i7-3770s does…What am I missing??
Vegas Pro 12 Windows 8 Pro is my new machine. Win 7 Pro Vegas Pro 12 is my old machine…

“HandBrake”?
I’m having great success with it. Try it – you might ;like it. It is free and does the job – lickety split! – Mind you, I haven’t tried AVCHD, so try it and see.

Sorry – I wasnt intending to cause confusion.
I have a vegas pro 12 clip all built and ready to go. Its made of lots of AVCHD clips with a few basic transitions.
When I go to render in MP4 the issue that i have described above occurs. The same file on older hardware is much quicker – the new system is at least twice as slow, if not slight more.

Hi John,
This could be any number of causes, even Windows 8 itself or a driver issue. Mind you that I am running Vegas 11. And I do not know your system setup so…
Check the render options under ‘Encode mode’ (default – Auto, Render CPU, Render GPU) and try forcing the ‘Render GPU’ option. But first, update the video drivers. Also try turning off any anti-virus programs.
