How long is the video you're trying to render. It depends a lot on the video time you're rendering, please specify.

Have you added more effects, filters, titles, crossfades, transitions, etc. to this project than you usually use? Any of these things slows down rendering to some degree. Some of them add massive amounts of time to the rendering process.

also what else is running on your system while you are rendering?
make sure everything else is closed (ie.. programs... scheduled tasks....)
see whats in your startup menu.
task manager.. processes...

also, you could try msconfig and goto startup... you could have lots running in the backround...

I would not be surprised to see a render to MPEG2 taking a long time, depending on the settings. But a render to avi should go very fast for the parts of the video that have not been changed in any way.

--make sure you are rendering to "DV avi" not "uncompressed."

--go to the top of your video frame on the timeline and make sure that the "Opacity" has been left at 100%. If you inadvertently drag it down, even a tiny amount, Vegas has to laboriously re-render every video frame.

Wilsonscreek,
It's content dependent (where did it originate/capture as)
What sorts of filters do you have on there? Change in aspect of anything? Any global FX? Lots of things can affect this. Just finished rendering a 2:10 minute file, took just over 23 hours, due to a fair amount of color correction, sharpening, and a number of stills, plus downsampled HD. That's on a pretty fast computer.
