“well in the timeline, each image is a clip. So same thing. This would apply for video clips as well”
No, it would not.
There are no clips on the timeline; everything on the timeline is an event.Steve Mann

First, ‘CPU %’ is a bad metric for performance. It can indicate where your bottleneck is. If your CPU is 100%, then it is the bottleneck.
When Windows is ‘waiting for I/O’ as in waiting for a disk driver to buffer some data, the CPU is not busy and is available for other processes. If no one needs the CPU, then your CPU % will be low.

I use ColorPix. It’s free and shows you the color code for whatever the mouse is over.

You may be right, John. The 2010 Rendertest is not really representative of today’s processors. While the dual-Xeon processors blew all others out of the water, they were also the fastest processors. So which was it?
But that won’t stop me from putting 8-cores in my next PC.

A 25GB BD-R only holds 23.32Gb of data. If it’s larger than 23Gb, then go back to Vegas and re-render with a lower bitrate. Do NOT use “fit to disc” – it’s there for lazy people who don’t care what DVDA does to the file.
It’s OK to let the audio files recompress because no one will be able to hear any difference.Steve Mann

Unfortunately, that’s the way it is. I’ll bet the ones that won’t play BD-r discs are a few years old.
We had a similar problem with DVD’s years ago. The DVD players that were made before recordable DVD’s were common would not play recordable DVD’s. The first-gen BD players were made before BD-R was even out of the lab.Steve Mann

Note that the rendertest was based on Vegas 10 – before GPU support. But, I still think that the number of cores is first, followed by processor speed for Vegas bang for the buck.

Years ago I hosted a Rendertest database (https://www.mmdv.com/sonyvegas/rendertest, the password is ‘vegasuser’)
In the same processor family, the processor clock speed ruled, but when the few users with more than the common four cores posted results, the 6 and 8 core processors were the fastest. Mac Pro’s were the next fastest, but the dual-Xeons blew everyone else out of the water.

Use Proxy files. It’s on Page 102 of the manual.
