Safe Rendering on my Laptop?
So, I am a video editor for gameplay and commentaries. I left my desktop to sit in the corner of my room.
I have a gaming laptop, so to start, it can handle Battlefield 3 and Fraps running at the same time.
Would it be safe to render videos that are 1080p, 10-20, maybe even 45 minutes long on this laptop? Two to three times a week?
Here are my specs :
Intel Core i7 3610QM (Ivy Bridge)
1TB HDD 7200RPM
8GB Ram
4GB VRam (2GB Dedicated(GeForce GTX 660M), 2GB Discrete)
– Do mind, this is all in a laptop –So, should I be ok to render videos that often on this laptop?
(Edit, I posted in Sony Vegas forum, because I use Sony Vegas 11 to render my videos out) -

The only limit I see would be hard drive size. At some point those 45 minute videos will fill it up. As long as you have space available, capturing video should not be a problem. You may have bad results if heat becomes a problem. Run a heat monitor from time to time and keep the cooling pathway clean.

Alright, I’m in a basement because the upstairs is far too warm.
I’m not exactly worried about space, I will probably move the content to an External harddrive.
