HDV render hanging / freezing…
Ok, need any input… I have a project in Vegas that was shot in HDV trying to render it (tried WMV, AVI, and Mpeg)… It plays through just fine in the preview window, no errors or anything… Every time I try to render the project to anything it just gets “hung” in the render process… Not giving me any errors it just freezes.. Tried to re-render same codec and it hangs in the same spot… Try a different codec and it hangs in a different spot… My system shouldn’t be the issue… (160 Gb free, qx6700 quad processor, 2 gb Ram…) I was thinking I was just being impatient but when I pull up the performance tab all four cores are at like 1 – 10 percent… So it is getting to a point where it is not processing anything… I let it go last night just to test the impatience issue and it went for like 12 hours and was at 20% when I went to sleep and 20% when I got up….
Anyone encountered an issue like this? Any input would be APPRECIATED!

Try rendering all night, but this time don’t go to sleep!
Seriously though… do you have another drive to try and render to?

Ya, I rendered it to two different drives… Tried copying and pasting the entire project and all files to 2nd drive then render to primary and render to secondary… No luck… I did just download, Connect HD from Cineform… Converted M2t’s to AVI’s (720 from 1080) and was able to render just fine… MAJOR PAINE though… Had to specify new AVI files in the project for about 150 files…. Probably required about 500 repetitious clicks…! ****SIGH*** Oh well, at least I found a workaround…
Do you guys ever have trouble dealing with the M2T’s?

Thanks for the advice though…

Dougster,
I’m having the exact same problem!!! I have a notebook (new dual-core, 2GB RAM, plenty of GB on HD) and a desktop. Both machines have the same problem. Rendering video-only or an AC3, when the render gets to a certain point, it just stops working!!! Very strange. As with you, this happens when the source was HD.
I would be grateful if you have found a solution yet and would share it with me.
Thank you!

Set your dynamic RAM preview to “0”… It fixed my problem for the most part however it will cut your CPU usage WAYYYY down (24%)… Seems to be some sort of bug…
In after effects I downloaded a program that was a plug in that puts my CPU usage at 100% when rendering in AFX… I have been looking for something like that in Vegas with no luck…
Hopefully the dev’s will fix this issue and make full use of the Core 2 duo’s abilities…
This issue seems to be in my more extensive projects (4+ layers of video)…

One of the first things I did when I built my QX6700 based system (XP and Vegas 7.0d) was try to run the VASST HD dual core render test…and it crashes at between 21 and 32 seconds (a motion blur bit). Somebody on another forum who had the same problem suggested reducing the number of render threads (Preferences) – and if you reduce it to 2 it rendered fine but of course completely defeats the object of having a quad core system. I’ve logged it with Sony support.

It’s really frustrating… In After Effects I had to get a plug in that makes everything go BLAZING FAST… Which I wouldn’t mind if I could get Vegas something comparable to that…
With every project I render I hold my breath and cross my fingers to see if it’s going to be an all nighter of troubleshooting…
