Quickest Way to Render AVI to MPG2?
I have a 36 min. AVI file in Vegas with very minimal crossfades, etc. I just did a RENDER AS operation and Vegas is telling me that it will take 2 hours and 40 min to render.
Tell me I am doing something wrong and there is a faster way. How is it possible that it could take this long when I have a 3GHZ processor and lightning fast drives?
Say it isn’t so.. please

Is there any other footage on the timeline?
What happens if you select only the footage you want to render and choose “render loop region only”?
What are the bit rate settings you want to render as?

Something else, of which you are unaware, has been done. You should be getting close to real time. A couple things to check is the track Opacity level is at 100%, the track composite mode is NOT on 3D (should be on Source Alpha). To check for additional things I’d need to see the VEG file.

I checked what you stated and all is OK.. however.. it looks like Track EQ, Compressor and Noise Gate are active. Would that slow it down this much?

No. Those are there by default and do nothing by default.
If you want to post your VEG file somewhere, we can take a look at it and see if anything is obvious.

I got a 404 – invalid error message trying that link.

hmm i guess the browser didn’t like that extension. I changed the extension to PSD. You’ll have to change it back to “veg” to open it.
Thanks!

Ok, I belive the problem is that you’re starting with a WMV file – NOT a DV-AVI file. Plus, I’ll bet the WMV file isn’t full size (I can’t tell from here) so Vegas is having to decompress, and probably resize, every frame before recompressing to MPEG2.

Ah! You’re right! The file that caused the loooooong render time was in fact a WMV file I had captured before I got capture working in Vegas.
I think that explains it!
Thank you for your time
