well, simple test: transfer the footage from lacie drive to local drive, disconnect all external drives, Vegas will ask you to point to new location, and can rerun render.

that at least will get the FW out of the equation.

2nd: good PSU?

3rd: good RAM? try removing all except one stick, make sure is seated properly, then rerun render. Try the other sticks with same logic.

4th: have any nested projects? remove and try render

5th: create new timeline, drop some of the NEO footage thereon, and try new render – just to see if any clips causing particular problems.

6th: try render using footage from someone else’s external drives, just to get your Neo stuff out of the equation.

Is simple process of elimination. Am guessing it’s either codec or hardware related – not windows itself.

if all on same track, use keypad 7 & 9 to jump

[Adam Rose esq.]

yep, not possible. same with html files etc.

sowwyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

FWIW, I found nested vegs increased render time, sometimes radically, esp after v7 (or was it v6? I can’t remember when they were introduced).
Dunno what caused the change, but there ya go. my 2c

verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slow here too, from the uk

[Adam Rose esq.]

there isn’t a way to go back……….

my kneejerk reaction is always to duplicate the tracks that will be multicammed BEFORE turning it on, that way I have the ‘originals’ to work with if needs be.

sorry, tis true.

excalibur & ultimate S avoid this hassle.

oh, and you’ll prob want to rename the 2 audio tracks appropriately, so that they make sense when choosing between them with the remote / buttons etc

[Adam Rose esq.]

easy peasy

🙂

drop mpeg2 into DVDA menu, which should bring the associated AC3 file with it.

then dbl click the video in the menu structure on the left, which will bring up the video plus its audio track

then drag the new commentary audio down below the existing audio track

when you preview the dvd, you’ll be able to swap between the 2 audio tracks using the buttons etc

HTH

wow, nice! who did that?

[Adam Rose esq.]

I can email it to anyone who wants it. np.
