Reply to earlier Vegas 9.0c HD render issues posts
If you are talking about HD MXF files then yes Vegas 9.0c (32 or 64-bit) has major issues rendering. Doing one-hour weekly TV shows in HD and trying to put them out as 1920×1080 or 1440×1080 MXFs has been a disaster. If you watch the ram consumption in task manager you will see Vegas slowly consume all available ram at which point it just stops, 0% CPU usage and choked on 11.1GB of ram on a 12GB 3.07Mhz i7 system, five systems in all. In our cases that’s around 37-40% of the timeline duration. Sony has been aware of this issue for quite some time now so hopefully it is fixed soon.
Here is one current work-around which has saved our bacon. With the network shows I am now rendering the segments out as Cineform HD, having upgraded to the latest 64-bit compatible version. Since working with the Cineform codec our problems have gone. I can now render out an entire complex 12 to 14 layer one hour HD show in one piece and ram usage never goes above 2.8-3.2GB. Once the full hour is rendered out in Cineform I can then render out a one-hour 1920x1080i 50-mbit MXF for print to disc for network delivery. Seeing that Vegas can render a one hour MXF without too much difficulty it appear that the real problem lies somewhere in the Sony MXF file reader code and not with the renderer.
