Peak building issue

Hi there, thanks to musicvid and sourceforge, I'm able to work with AVC avi files, however, Vegas MS is having a problem building the audio peak files. It will jump to a certain percentage, and then grind slowly away at it... I left it to run and after an hour or so, it only was partly through one of the 80 files. If I put the files in seperately, sometimes it will build in no time, others will just start the grind. None of these files are particularly long, and that doesn't seem to matter anyhow. I don't believe it's an audio driver issue, since it happens if I'm using my AMD HDMI device or the built in Realtek codec. Alternatively, is there a way to shut off the peak building function?

Also, if I hit the cancel button on the peak building process, it keeps trying something, and locks up.

Yes, although you've failed to provide your SYSTEM SPECS, which are a huge consideration.

It's in View->Waveforms.
;?)

The specs are standard: I7 2600k quadcore, Win7 64 bit, 16 gigs memory, onboard Realtek audio and a Radeon HD6850. But this issue has never happened before, and I go back at least to VegasMM version 6 and maybe a Pentium on XP(!). Thanks for the View-Waveforms tip, but unfortunately it doesn't help.... VMM starts sucking down the CPU cycles anyhow when I load the AVI's and locks up. I've even re-installed Vegas, to no effect. Possibly Vegas 11 would work better, but meanwhile, I'm not having any trouble working with the files in OpenShot Video editor in Ubuntu on a virtual machine, and it's rendering fast, surprisingly enough, so even though I don't have the great editing capabilities of Vegas, the job will get done.
