What to expect for render times with SV 11 & high end machine
A friend of mine who does a lot of weddings is about to upgrade his NLE. I’m doing some of the same sort of stuff but mostly for home fun, like high quality digitizing of old 8mm and 16mm films.
I’m getting an i7-2700k, 16Gb RAM, Two Separate Raid Zero Video Drives systems (2 drives each) for source and render, plus a OS drive, and a GTX-570 video card, and blu-ray burner. My friend might blow the extra cash and upgrade the CPU to the Sandy Bridge-E i7-3930K or i7-3960X with 32Gb RAM.
I’m doing HDV & AVCHD, and he’s doing XDCam stuff. Typically we’ll be doing a 2 hour video, some transitions, occasional effects like slo mo, or B&W, but not overwhelmingly layered stuff in SV11, and then putting it all on Blu-Ray
Question: Anybody doing comparable sorts of things with comparable equipment, and what sort of final render times are you getting with 2 hour projects?

With my rig, I typically get a 1:1 render time. I work with HDV mainly, with some AVCHD and MXF files thrown in from B-cameras.
I do weddings as well on the side, and my longest render was 2.5 hours for 90 minutes of multicam footage, but my render was a 2 pass variable bit render set to Good.
For straight CBR renders I typically get 1:1 or less.
My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 10e (x32/x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

You get the most bang for the buck from faster and more processor cores. Raid is overkill for HDV or AVCHD.
