  • Performance tweak for DVDA5?

    Posted by Nigel O’neill on June 12, 2009 at 2:51 pm

    Is there a performance tweak for DVDA5 to enable it to use more CPU threads like in Vegas 9 Pro? When rendering out to DVD on a Vista64 i7 processor system, CPU usage averages only 18% with only one CPU core bearing most of the workload. It is p-a-i-n-f-u-l-l-y s-l-o-w.

    RAM usage is 2.48GB with 9GBfree

    That’s why I render to MPEG2 in Vegas. I never let DVD Architect do the renders.

    My workflow used to be Vegas Pro with m2t & AVCHD files rendered out to DVDA template (mainconcept mpeg2) as a single A/V stream. A one hour project from Vegas typically takes 2~2.5 hours to render as many tracks have effects and colour correction applied to them. I would then bring the files into DVDA and ‘make disc’. The ‘make disc process can take up to five hours! I noticed quality loss by this method, so I now render out from the timeline using the HDV 1440 x 1080i template and then bring that into DVDA. I don’t seem to get a ‘softening’ effect of the video like I was getting using the DVDA template in Vegas. Neither way seems to result in faster DVDA ‘make disc’. Is there an article on this forum outlining a workflow process from Vegas to DVDA?
