Newly-chugging renders
For some unknown reason my renders lately seem to have really slowed down.
For example, a :30-spot with :09 of bars/tone at the head has been taking about twenty minutes to make a .MOV with DV/DVCPRO compression. Nothing fancy in the spots. Maybe ten layers or so of lightweight events.
I didn’t pay much attention before, but it seems like it was taking (and should normally take) about a minute or two (?)
The only new software I’ve installed lately is Digital Fusion 6, and I haven’t introduced any new hardware.
On a couple of renders lately I thought Vegas had just hung, but then I’d see the progress bar budge a little. Any ideas what might be slowing things down?

Thats kinda weird, But it happens.
I would suggest you uninstall Fusion and see if thats what
causing an issue…If not, clean up and defrag your drives
and see if that helps.Steve Rhoden

Are you rendering to the same HD you used to?
Check if the HD available space is less than 40%.
Check if the HHDD is fragmented. Check for HHD errors (bad sectors).

So, I un-installed Digital Fusion, defragged the HD (System drive is 2TB with 49GB used, Content drive is 10TB with 500GB used)and tried rendering again:
41 seconds of SD elements with about ten layers rendered to MOV (DV/DVCPRO) took 11:37.
Same thing rendered to MPEG2 took 23:15.
26 seconds took 11:30ish for both formats.
Could someone remind me how long these should be taking? It seems like a 30-second sequence should take about a minute or so?
Any other ideas of what could be going on? My new system has barely been around the track but a few times, so it’s definitely not full and fraggy, and I haven’t altered it much at all since things were zipping along.
Thanks,
