Yeah I’d heard a lot of problems upgrading in place as well, which is why I did a clean install of Windows 10, so the whole kit and kaboodle is a clean install.

I’ve been using it running as myself for the past few weeks…is it possible it’s trying to save it under the Admin even if I’m running it as me?

x264vfw64 seemed to do the trick! Though I did notice that I couldn’t drag from my explorer folder into vegas still, I could at least add the media and it would place into the timeline just fine.

Thanks for the help!

I fixed the drag and drop from windows explorer by following another thread’s suggestion to NOT run Vegas as administrator. I guess in all the troubleshooting I had set it to run as admin. Changed it back and now all is right with the world!

Appreciate your time!

THanks, I did find x264vfw installer in my old downloads backup folder, so maybe that’s what I used…will try that.

I did use Motion-JPEG for a while, but the file sizes were ridiculous…like 1GB per minute of recording. With H264 I get around half of that size and still really good quality. Given all these issues, if x264vfw doesn’t help, then I may go back to Motion-JPEG.

Crossing my fingers!

Just did a test with Bandicam using MP4 instead of AVI, with both VBR and CBR, using the only audio format available, AAC, and it won’t import either. Really hate clean installs, they get very messy.

No, I am using Sony Vegas 13 Platinum.

Perhaps I’m too noob or don’t understand something. A lot of what has been posted in this thread is above my head. I found my way here through google several days ago trying to find out ways to improve render times in Vegas for YouTube, which consensus seems to indicate we should use the Main Concept AVC codec. I have a newer Radeon card not supported by MC, and (IMO) a fairly decent CPU. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any insightful discussion anywhere else on this topic.

I just want to know if putting in an older series card that is supported will render faster using GPU than right what I’m using now (a newer card and CPU).

So far I understand half of what people have graciously taken their time to respond with, and a recommendation to upgrade my CPU (which would require a motherboard upgrade and re-installing my entire system). If what I’m trying to ask is more complicated than a yes/no, or if I’m asking the wrong question, then just let me know and I’ll move along.

The bitrates I’m using I believe are 20k if I recall. If I had a card that MC supported, I’d be happy to do my own testing and share it. Unfortunately I only have the card I have, the 7850, which is why I’m asking if I did buy the 6970 for $100 if it would make a difference.

I’m not spending $100+ to perform a test… I know what I see right now, and if you’re telling me that I’d barely notice any quality drop-off with GPU encoding, then that’s good. But should I expect a render speed increase?

So if I get a radeon 6970 and use GPU for rendering, which MC AVC supports, it won’t make a difference?
