Update @ 6:00 AM (written @ 7). The render went fine as far as my computer goes. The fan kept it cool and it completed in ten hours. But those inconsistencies in the video (where during editing I'd see no picture but then I would - sometimes after viewing the video in preview) reared their ugly heads and I have several black outs in my three hour video. Obviously I'm disappointed that I worked my computer so hard for ten hours and now I have to do it all again. That is if I can figure out how to keep this from happening.
Obviously I'm looking for advice how to avoid "black outs"..
I can't believe it takes ten hours to render 3 hours of video but only took 15 minutes to render the audio though it takes much longer for the audio to load into DVD Architect.
Update as of 10:00 PM Easter 7-23
I'm at 30% rendered on the video after three hours and I've got a fan keeping everything cool and it feels fine. The only thing I'm worried about now is that there are certain clips that are blacked in the video box as it is rendering and I hope that those parts end up on the rendered video and not blacked out. I did notice at times during editing that certain files would be blacked out (but I'd hear the audio) but then I found that if I previewed them and then played the stream they'd be there. Then they wouldn't and then they would. I hope that is just an anomaly of the HD video streams in Vegas and hopefully they'll be there when it becomes a DVD. I hope I awake to a successful render. Goodnight all and thanks again.
I have a 3 hour project that I shot with a no-name (literally) HD camera I bought and am being informed that rendering the HP video (Format H264, Attributes 1280x720x24) along with some still photos, text and added audio files will take ten hours. I am still stuck in Vegas Pro 10 (since my computer is 32 bit I've never upgraded the program) but I think 10 hours of rendering will burn up my processor. I know that my previous Vegas 8 program rendered projects faster but I'm stuck in 10 so I'm hoping I can make this work. I'm not ready to invest in a new computer at this time so I need someone's advice as to how I might render this to MPEG-2 so that I can burn DVDs with Architect. Anyone that can give me guidance please help if you'd be so kind.
