I got vegas 8 32 bit on a xp, quad core with 4 gig of ram. I got a mountain of rendering of clips to do. How many windows of vegas can I run at the same time rendering different clips?
Thanks :)

I routinely render video and audio (separate streams) at the same time. Once the cores are consistantly at 100%, the only thing you get out of running multiple sessions is not having to manage the jobs. I have run four video streams and left for the day knowing it would take hours. If the source and or destination files are on the same drive, you will eventually start to get I/O contention which could reduce the overall throughput of the system.

Thanks for your reply. I have multiple drives on the system so I can have the renders go to different drives. I will try tomorrow.

I've had well over a dozen windows all rendering simultaneously. Yeah, each one is slow, but it's unattended slow so i can ignore it.
