Rendering Times DVD v VV4

Hi Group,

Just been using my new version of VV4 and DVD Arch. And so far so good.

I was wondering if anyone had seen a disparity between the length of time it takes to render the same AVI file between VV and DVD. I set up my first big project yesterday using a lot of “old” clips produced from a couple of other editing systems. Everything was finished and was a little astounded when it came back and showed a rendering time of about 5 hours (approx 1 hour of video needed rendering.) I took all the clips one by one and plonked (that’s a technical Plonked!) all the clips in VV4 and rendered to mpg – DVD . The whole process by hand took about 1.5 hours. When I used these clips no rendering (except sound) was needed.

The same DVD but in PAL format is taking 14+ hours to render and at the start of the rendering it was reporting 11 hours for completion.

Any thoughts on this?

Nigel.
