Sudden slow down in encoding time
Hi, I have just recently noticed a really horrible decrease in encoding speed using the MainConcept Encoder that comes with Vegas 5.0. I only have an Athlon 1800xp, but a movie used to take about 4 hours to encode, now it’s telling me 23 hours roughly. What could be the cause of this sudden slow down of the encoder?

Have you inadvertantly lowered the opacity, e.g. on the track header?

Nope, the opacity is at 100% the whole way through, no effects have been added either… I know my CPU is slow to begin with, but it was never this slow..

Have you started the render after rebooting?
Gary

sure did, I have nothing at all running, and I’m encoding to slave drive (just as I always have) so I’m not sure why these things would just start taking forrrrrrrrever to encode like they are..

Could be lots of things. I’m assuming you’re rendering from an edited timeline and not a rendered AVI’s? There are many things that can increase rendering time such as:
Track header “Level” below 100%
3D Track Motion
Various effects
etc…Edward Troxel

It’s actually a DivX Pro 5.2 avi codec that I want to encode to mpg2

Bingo!! Anytime you try to render to or from anything other than a DV-AVI file, your render times increase, in some cases quite substantially as you’ve discovered.

Just a thought but do you defrag all your drives before rendering? I’ve found that solves a lot of problems. Even some you woudn’t think about.
