To make sure that I cover all options possible to resolve this I’m removing the codecs. I’ll report back later.

I have had the Win7codecs pack 1.3.0 by Shark007 installed since Fall of 2009, and have had no issues whatsoever. Without codecs I lose the ability to easily view any / all media types, plus tinkering with them after they’re installed can cause OS issues.
Can you show me any evidence at all that codecs have been known to mess with Vegas rendering times? Google searching hasn’t brought up anything. I’d really like to see some sort of evidence before tinkering with codecs.
Also, shortly after making my last post I spoke with a friend who it turns out owns version 9, and he said he also has very long render times but accepted it as a tradeoff for the more powerful editing abilities over WMM. I don’t have that kind of time though, especially considering this is my PC that I use for work, games, etc. I’m not going to give away 1 1/2 hours for small projects, and even more time for larger ones.
I thought about installing Vegas Movie Studio 10 on my laptop to test on there, but it has less cores, less memory, and has the very same codec pack installed. I feel like my patience is wearing thing on this issue now, I just tried to encode a small archive project and cancelled it out of irritation.
It just makes no sense to me how Microsoft can have this garbage free app which runs circles around a commercial one when it comes to encoding.

I’ve tried HDV 1280×720-30p, AVCHD 1920×1080-60i, Internet HD 1280×720, 29.97 fps prog, and match media settings. The Fraps files were recorded at 29.97FPS.
Render settings I’ve tweaked everywhere from best to good, CPU only to GPU allowed, even encoding up and down. No matter what I do though I can’t get a difference in rendering time. GPU on / off it doesn’t matter, it’s all really the same.
I don’t remember my very old SD resolution copy of Vegas doing this, but then again this is before the days of HD. I just can’t get over the fact that Windows Movie Maker beats it silly whether I’m encoding 1920×1080 or 1280×720.
I have tried rendering in AVC, no difference at all and I even verified in custom that it was exporting as a true .AVC file instead of .MP4.
