Maybe You Guys Know This Problem

No doubt a strange problem. I’m beginning to suspect a hardware issue. Have a look at task manager look under performance and see if anything is eating up ram or CPU usage.

I agree with Russ – you have something else running in the background that you are unaware of.
Do you get this when you run Vegas – AND NOTHING ELSE – after rebooting?

Do I get what?
I already said that happens even when only vegas is installed.
The only thing in the background is win 7.
When my puter had a lot of programs problem was the same so with only win7 or a lot of programs, problem is the same no matter whatever I do, no matter whatever vegas setting I change etc.We have so much time and so little to do! / Willy Wonka

So this computer does not have a browser or any MS Office programs installed?
Use resmon (Start, Run, Resmon) and click on the Memory tab to see how much resources Vegas is using. You want to see the “Commit (KB)” value. In fact you can double-click on the “Commit” column to see which processes consume the most. If the “% Used Physical Memory” is approaching 90% then you could be hitting pagefiles which would also slow your renders.
Experiments have demonstrated that Vegas runs best with *some* Preview Ram. The tests were done on Version 9 or 10, but 1 Mb was the sweet spot.
Vegas needs temp disk space equal to the project size is a good rule of thumb. The temp folder is on the same drive that Vegas is installed on by default. If this is an SSD, I would recommend moving it to a HDD. If you don’t have enough disk space, the render could really slow to a crawl.

Thanks Stephen.
Only vegas installed.
Tell me how much should vegas be consuming in that “Commit” column?
While rendering it’s around 340.400kbs.We have so much time and so little to do! / Willy Wonka

The actual amount is not as important as where it is in the list of processes. since your symptoms present differently over time, these are some things to make note of for comparison. The next time Vegas appears to be slow to render, look at these values to see if they are significantly different. It’s just a data point.

I found the problem but it’s weird to me.
One of the videos I have in my project was sent by a friend of mine direct from its cam, properties says it’s a AVI file, it was the problem.I converted it to mp4 and added to my project then deleted the AVI version………………BOOM………….rendering time now is 38 minutes!
Should we all convert videos to a specific format before importing to vegas?
I mean is there a video format that works better/faster with vegas?
Now I can tell vegas likes mp4 videos 😉Thanks guys for your time and patience trying to help 😉

It’s not that it’s an “AVI” that makes long renders. It’s what is INSIDE that AVI that is making for long renders.
AVI is ONLY a wrapper or envelop, a bit like the cover of a book. With the Book you get the Title, the Author the Author’s photo and MAYBE a synopsis of the text on all this pages. I, as others here, have rendered using AVIs in almost realtime, sometimes even faster. You’ve got an AVI that won’t. It is not the fact that it’s an AVI. You really need to read further on the actual make up of these files, MP4 too! – This may also indicate why you’re getting that hit and miss efficiency.
As you’ve been thanking us for our collective patience, do us and yourself a favour and put that AVI through MedInfo, copy the information back here.
So, this is NOT Vegas nor your system. It’s the pressure you’ve put both of these under to deal with that AVI. As a Test, make project up of JUST that AVI, make your Settings to that AVI and Test-Render. What results do you get?
Lesson learnt here. Personally, I make sure I KNOW exactly what material I’m dealing with; asses just how much of it will be used in a MIXED project and if needed, CONFORM, by making a Digital Intermeadiate (DI) that media work easily with my project, and that means PROJECT SETTINGS. You’ve got to get this concept under your belt, otherwise you WILL revisit this again and again, and you’ll come back here and ask the same question: “Why won’t Vegas deal with this material?” Most of us that Shoot and Edit will make sure that that workflow is compliant throughout. Receiving material from a 2nd or 3rd or even 4th party source does require the editor to be more CONTENT-FORMAT aware than ever before. Ignore this and the Editor, you, will provide yourself with a World of Pain.

Yep I know AVI is a wrapper or envelop, maybe a container?
How do I put that AVI through MedInfo?
Do you mean in vegas click in that avi properties then MEDIA or GENERAL?We have so much time and so little to do! / Willy Wonka

[Joao Souza] “Yep I know AVI is a wrapper or envelop, maybe a container?”
Well, you said that Vegas doesn’t deal with AVIs. Now that is NOT somebody who understands this process, so that is WHY I went to some length to explain it to you.
[Joao Souza] “How do I put that AVI through MedInfo?
Do you mean in vegas click in that avi properties then MEDIA or GENERAL?”No, MediaInfo is a 3rd party freebie that will tell you/us just what is INSIDE Media – hence the neat name: MediaInfo. And here’s the link for you.
