Hey, I have a project that I did in all HDV, it is about 5 minutes. Plenty of graphics and footage, nothing too crazy generated by Vegas, though.
Basically, when I render this thing out as NTSC DV Widescreen to burn onto DVDs, it takes me an hour and a half. No biggie there for me. Well, I wanted to send a .wmv comp to my client so I set out to making a file that I could send him. I opened a new Vegas project, NTSC widescreen, dropped the nested file on the timeline, and chose "good" render, 90%, CBR dual pass at 3M. Then i went to bed. By the time I get around to checking, the file is 10 hours into rendering with 5 more to go. I know dual pass doubles my time, so obviously I could do single pass, but it seems like a 5 hour single pass is still extremely long compared to a 1.5 hour MPG render. BTW, the MPG render was all on "Best" settings. Where did I go wrong here. Is there something about WMV that makes it that much harder to render than MPG. Can anyone give me some tips here? Thanks.
