Divx 5.1.1 Vegas vs Windows Movie Maker???

Why does it take Vegas 5 over 6 hours to encode a series of DivX clips totalling about 13 minutes, when the same clips dragged into Windows Movie Maker takes 17 minutes to rener a DV-AVI file?

Something is definitely wrong here.

I have the DivX Pro (paid for) Codec installed, P4 3Ghz hyperthreading and 2 GB RAM, under WinXP home fully patched (not with SP2, though).

Normally AVI to AVI renders happen immediately, why 6+ hours for this?

odd --i never have seen that ...


what settings are you using , can you post a veg file ..

rendering to some versions of divx ARE slow though , depends on the version ... but that time seems a little on the long side

I am not rendereing TO DivX. The files were in DivX AVI format, and I tried to render the project to MPEG2 DVD then to DV-AVI.

Windows Movie Maker did it in 17 minutes vs 6 hours (and counting up) at 1% complete in Vegas 5. It was doing less than 1 frame per second encoding.
