    Hello again! I’m having a problem with vegas, when i try to render uncompressed video, with no effects, just doubled playback rate, it takes too long, while yesterday it needed like 2 min or less, tho it was lower resolution, and no playback rate increase. My comp specification: cpu – intel dual core 2,66ghz
    graphics – ati hd 4830 (512 mb gddr3)
    2gb ram ddr2 80 gb hard drive
    here is a picture to see how it looks like

    EDIT: reduced it to 20 minutes which i dont know if its okay time for 45 secs video

    Uncompressed video is HUGE (somewhere around 80 GB per hour). Why are you going uncompressed?
    What type of file are you trying to render from?(What is your original footage?)

    You will also want to ensure that your opacity slider is set to 100% and nothing below (unless you want it that way)- moving the track opacity slider causes a big hit in performance.

    I too have a large file, maybe 40G. Takes forever to render and put on DVD. I don’t know how to compress a file. Where can I look to find out more? Probably on this forum somewhere.

    David, a lot more information would be very helpful.
    What’s your source file footage(DV, HDV, AVCHD)?
    What’s your OS, how much RAM & CPU speed?
    How many and what kind of FX do you have on the project?
    How long is the project?
    Are you rendering to a second hard drive?
