  RE: CPU utilization low?
  There is no question that the CPU is not being taxed. In monitoring the temperature, it's running cool at about 50-60 celsius through the whole render. So what I'm gathering here is that there is somewhat of a fixed rendering "speed limit". I'm

  Not stated and not in your profile are your system hardware specifications. Since you now have HD video encoded with avc, you could probably benefit from some of the improvements in later versions of Sony Vegas Pro as they relate to handling avc.

  RE: No sign of GPU Acceleration for my Graphics Card
  With the latest generation Nvidia cards it is not GPU accelerating in vegas 12. It reports it in use, reports it's available, reports it's using it, but it does not actually speed up rendering. I had a GTX 240 and it allowed rendering at 2x speed.
