[Phil Ingleby] ” go to 100% load and spike my temperatures to 100″
Yes, It does sounds like you were getting an unstable CPU due to overheating. You need to clean/dust and/or fix/upgrade your CPU cooler.
You AVI render sounds like you were rendering to Sony YUV.

Some file encoders are faster than others. Some file encoders generate better quality than others.
Mainconcept AVC is quite slow. You did not mention if you had Mainconcept AVC set for one or two pass. Two pass being twice as long as a one pass encoder.
Sony AVC is about 2x faster than Mainconcept AVC at 1 pass. You might try that one.

[Phil Ingleby] ” but it’s always down to the “mc_enc_avc_ocl.dll”.”
That is the Mainconcept OpenCL GPU encoder. In the render as template you are using it is still trying to use GPU for the encoder. Set that to CPU only.
There are two GPU settings. One for Vegas itself and one for the file encoder.

You are probably in Simple edit mode. Use Advanced edit mode.

Select the event and press “U” (keyboard shortcut) to ungroup the video and audio from each other. Menu Edit | Group | Remove from.
Or just add only the video or audio when placing on the timeline.

Sounds like your video source is a digicam or a cell phone. Vegas probably does not support the camera orientation metadata stored in the file.
To get things how you want, you can right click the media, choose properties, and select an appropriate rotation to get your media right side up.

[John Rofrano] ” Movie Studio 13.0 has a different interface that you either like or you don’t.”
Good point.

To expand further. DDR3 1600Mhz ram is also called PC 12800.
Standard RAM timings for PC12800 are 9,9,9,24. Faster RAM will be 8,8,8,24. Same Mhz bandwidth but faster initial/random access (less latency)To use a brand name example
Crucial Ballistix Sport is standard timing
Crucial Ballistix Tactical is normally faster timings.
Crucial Ballistix Elite is their top line. Maybe faster, but certainly more overclockable.I don’t know the progression in other brands. I was just trying to give some example(s) and simplify the extreme tech being put forth.
Also with most faster RAM you have to use the XMP profile to get the faster timings over “standard”.
My PC has 16GB of Crucial Tactical RAM.

[Carlos Silva] “a) RAM DDR3 1600Mhz x 1866Mhz ?
b) 8GB or 16GB ? “
a) RAM clock rate speed makes little difference even in memory benchmark programs let alone a general purpose application. A faster clock rate increases the brute bandwidth after initial access but unless the application reads very large blocks of continuous ram you don;t get much benefit.
RAM CAS latency is often more important than clock rate of RAM. This is the delay of the initial access. Super fast CAS ram, does not come in high density so you typically need four DIMMs to get the amount you want which has a penalty when you read the fine print. Most fast ram DIMMs are spec’d at a given speed when only one bank is filled.
I would say go with 1600 and look for DIMMs with a little faster CAS latency than typical. You pay a little more, but why not. The ultra fast CAS RAM is real pricey and not worth it unless you want every component in the system as absolutely fast as it possibly can be.
b) 16GB ALL THE WAY.
c) Unless you are editing uncompressed input, or lots of multi-camera editing HD is not bottleneck. I would say any generic 7200 RPM would do. I would avoid 5400rpm.
