Maybe You Guys Know This Problem

[Graham Bernard]

[Joao Souza] “Do you guys have any idea of what could be causing that?”

• Anti Virus Scanning?
• Auto Updates or Auto Disc repairs.
• Re-boot often kicks out the Jams!
• Cycling of GPU with CPU? If you have GPU enabled FXs then this speeds things up.
• Heat and or rather, Fan<>Cooling system needing to be looked at. I’ve had a progessive heat issue that eventually led to a BSOD!

– like I said even with only win 7 this problem happens.

– the same above.

– nope, re-booting or not, vegas always decides when it’ll render faster or slower.

– no GPU.

– no fan problem.

Hi, in the preferences tab under Video Dynamic Ram Preview max (MB) should not exceed the default value. According to Vegas programmers, it seems Vegas gets drunk on Ram much like Win 98 did. Sometimes I need to set the Dynamic Ram Preview max (MB)to a value of 0 for those long projects. Let me know if that works for you or not.

What’s the default value?
I never changed that so I guess it’s always default 😉
I googled and saw so many people saying(including in this forum) to set it to 0.
I did it still it’ll take 2.30 hours to render so nothing changed.

Ok, the default setting depends on the version IE it’s 200 for 32 bit or x86 and 2000 for 64bit version. You can also reset the default values in the video tab. So to the problem. The media itself, on the timeline, is it all the same file type frame rate and frame size. Now for the encoding part, is there a major change between input and output codec, frame rate, interlace to progressive? And finally what FX are being used. A 2.5 hour render is not unheard of there is a great deal of math to do when blending layers or adding fx. Just trying to glean more info about the project and what is happening so as to figure the issue.

It doesn’t matter what’s happening there cause I got two different rendering times with THE SAME project so what matters is sometimes there’s something affecting vegas rendering time.

Ok fair enough. So it’s time to rule out hardware issues or perhaps software config issues in win 7. In short try a different machine. Also are there third party codecs installed and vegas grabs one that is inefficient in working with Vegas.

Again:

Even only with win7 and no program installed, the same happens.
So I can tell it’s a problem between vegas and win 7.
Is there any win 7 configuration/setting that could affect vegas rendering time directly?
That would be a start 😉

Uhm silly me, Question are you rendering to the same drive as where you footage resides? If so don’t do that.

Now let’s get this straight.
1
You have a clean win7 instal with only Vegas version ? installed, nothing else.
Or
2
You have a win 7 instal where programs were uninstalled until only vegas version ? was left.
Which is the case 1 or 2.

– To the same drive and to a different one, no difference.

– 1

With a clean win 7 or when my puter had other programs, problem was the same.
Nothing I do/did affects/affected rendering time, nothing sped it up.
Sometimes it’s faster but generally it’s slow.
