Vegas 11 32bit: Is it normal to render 10hrs???

[Scott Simpson]

I went through a marathon series of renders about a month ago … hour-long shows would take me, literally, days. I was rendering to 1440×1080 interlaced MXF (mpeg2) at 35MBps. I’m running a first-gen i5-750 and Vegas 12. Days. Like, three or four days for some of them. Once I surrendered to the fact that renders were going to take a long time, I focused more on having Vegas do them without crashing. Stability beat speed for me at that point.

So, 8-10 hours for a 30-minute program sounds entirely plausible.

Dave you touched on a point I had never seen discussed before and would ask if you could provide little more in depth on how to find plug ins that are not programmed to access all the cores.

If you have read any of my recent posts I have been plagued by some issues with rendering and editing. Without going into all the details suffice it to say I have a brand new self built system with all new fresh loads of SVP SUITE, Boris Red, BCC running on Win7PRo.

So I was wondering if your point could be related to what I am experiencing.

Thanks
