OS Drive or Dedicated Drive for Vegas Pro 8?
Hi Everyone,
I have been using a 500GB external hard drive for capturing, storing, burning, etc. for Sony Vegas Pro 8 and DVD Architect. I used Spotted Eagles setup method found in VASST in which I went through a couple times.
The reason I am asking the following question is because when I switch to DVD Architect, my edited rendered movie for some reason is located under My Documents in my operating systems C/ hard drive.
Should have I installed the Sony Vegas Pro 8 and DVD Architect installation CD’s on a differant drive other than my OS C/ hard drive? Before trying it, I would like to know if it can be done this way. I am under the impression that everything should be off the OS C/ hard drive for smooth operation. I would “appreciate” your help for proper setup. Thank you, Ray -

Yes. You can install the programs elsewhere. I doubt you will see much of a difference. However, I would recommend that you encode/render to another drive other than the OS drive or the source file drive (drive that contains your unedited original footage the Vegas is pooling from).

Hi,
Thanks for all the help. Ray -
I would leave the program installed on your C drive. In the Options – Prefs you can change your rendering and storage drives. Vegas defaults to storing your rendered videos in My Docs. Change that to another drive and you’ll be fine.

Thanks Allen! I believe that was my problem. I assumed that it was changed and didn’t check to make sure it wasn’t going onto my C drive. Thanks again, Ray
