Yes another rendering question
I went to the forum and read posts also on Edward Troxels forum there and also surfed through the site but in all honesty perhaps I didnt quite find the right post to answer my question.
I havent used Sony Vegas much since last year and unfortunately did not keep a diary of how I rendered my movies of africa.
So this year I used the same footage and added a short intro to the film which resulted in a 1 gig file. I rendered it as a .wmv file. The file took about 14 hours to render (much longer than I remember before) and also the result was not quite as sharp as the work produced with the identical footage last year.
I am wondering now if I hold down Control Shift to set defaults if this will allow me to return to the same great quick render times and sharpness like last year. Also by the way both of these times I chose “best” in the custom tweaking layout to describe my preference for quality.
thanks for your patience with my questions!

Could depend on what changes (new programs, updates, etc) you have made to your computer since last year.

I am still using sony vegas and using it from my c:drive.
The previous year I saved my projects to D drive but I dont see how this could have made the difference.
Still puzzled.. It would seem a bit of a severe move to strip my computer and bring it back to factory state.
I did purchase a large external drive for the system but am not using this to store my movie files on when its time to render them. They are saved specifically on C drive which I triple checked.

Okay I am hoping even my bumbling with all of this will help some of our other members. I have to admit with red-face I was rendering my files in .wmv extension format not .avi. Big difference!
I stripped my computer to be turned into a state like just out of the package and using my recovery disks totally reinstalled all programs. Then made sure I directed the rendering to .avi extension.
The difference is amazing. Rapid fire rendering times and with a final product on DVD showing super crisp footage. I also re-learned/learned some tricks with Vegas in the process.
