    [Danny Hays] “Also make sure in your Options/Preferences, that enable no-recompress long GOP rendering is checked. “

    We don’t know what format he’s rendering to but it should be pointed out that this only helps if you are rendering back to HDV for some reason. If you are trying to create an MPEG2 DVD it will always render because the resolution and bit-rate are different.

    [Danny Hays] “set your preview window quality to Best/Full, and click the floppy icon in the preview window to take a jpeg pic if it at your 1440×1080 aspect ratio, put the newly made jpeg in the beginning of the timeline only as before”

    Yea, this was going to be my next suggestion. Do you understand what Danny is saying here? If you resize the logo to where you want it, and save the entire frame as a PNG file, Vegas will not have to resize during rendering. It will just overlay the 1440×1080 frame on top of your 1440×1080 video and this will render a lot faster.

    (I am rendering in 1080 60i to mt2). This is in his second post. I read it wrong and thought he typed m2t. Hope this is a typo. Is there a mt2 format?

    yes thank you. These have been the settings since day 1 when I captured the video from the tape deck. HDV 1080 60i. Rendering does say no compression necessary, but it still took 20 hours. If I take a snapshot of the picture in the timeline, I won’t be able to shrink it down to the size I want. (the jpeg is a logo watermark in the lower left hand corner). Or am I wrong about this? I am also fading it into the actual video, so there are some fx

    oh and i ran into somemore problems. Just to see what it looks like I rendered in dvd architect dvd NTSC to see what it would look like. And there’s not only no sound at all, but I have a timer clock countdown in the lower corner. that didn’t show up. I’m using the trial verson of Newblue fx and that’s where I got the time clock. Is there a reason why the clock wouldnt show up? and why no sound?

    [Rion Gilpin] “Rendering does say no compression necessary, but it still took 20 hours.”

    When it says, “no recompression necessary” it is simply doing a file copy. If it is taking 20 hrs to copy a file, you have a problem with disk I/O. Are you rendering to the same drive you are reading from and is that your C: drive? At any rate, this is not a Vegas problem, this is a PC configuration problem.

    [Rion Gilpin] ” If I take a snapshot of the picture in the timeline, I won’t be able to shrink it down to the size I want. (the jpeg is a logo watermark in the lower left hand corner). Or am I wrong about this?”

    What Danny was saying is to create an empty project and use Vegas Track Motion to position the logo in the lower corner exactly the way you want it with the proper transparency and everything and then take snapshot using PNG. That will give you a full size overlay of the logo in the corner. Then use that in your project. Alternately, use Photoshop or some other graphics program to do the same. This will render quicker.

    [Rion Gilpin] “I am also fading it into the actual video, so there are some fx”

    You would still do that with the resulting PNG file when you use it in the main project.

    No, I’m rendering to my external harddrive. Right now there’s 250 gigs left on that external.

    How is that external drive connected? If it’s USB 2.0 it’s going to be slower than if it is firewire or eSATA. If it’s USB 1.1 it’s going to be deadly slow.
