I have 2 audio tracks, 5 video tracks (4 for text and one for actual video). All sliders are up to 100% both track and event level. I am encoding to uncompressed avi HDV Sony YUV 60i. The footage is from 2 HVR-A1U's in HDV. I have an event level FX applied to give it an old film look. The piece is 47 minutes long.
I started the encode on Thursday and left over the weekend to go to a shoot and just returned home. It shows approximately 9 hours and 40 minutes left. It shows 22 hours and 46 minutes has elapsed. The progress bar is at 87%.
Clues: When I brought the veg up on the timeline, it was slow to respond when scrubbing. I thought it may have been just because I brought it up. The render is only using 50% of my processing power and the frame rate is creeping along at the pace of a turtle.
The drive I am encoding to also has the raw footage on it. It is a eSata 500gig drive. I encoded a file previously with only color correction and it finished within a matter of hours. This was done on the same hard disk drive.
My question: If I stop this encode, since it is an avi file, will I still have what has been rendered up to this point? If so, I will stop it, restart, and pick up from where I left off to see if it goes any faster.
