V7 AC3 Encoder Hanging...

Uggh,

I'm having problems with V7 and the AC3 encoder. When I go to Render As using a 5.1 Surround template, it appears to hang or at the very least it's running very slow. Drive access is sporatic and CPU usage is up there. After 10-15 mins, it's still at 0%.

Vegas 6.0d with the same project works fine and renders the whole 75 minute timeline in 10-15 mins.

I've submitted a support ticket to Sony and await their reply. Has anyone else exprienced issues with the AC3 encoder in 7.0a?

Yes, 7.0a runs slow with WMV, some MPEG4, and as you mentioned AC3. Also, there is an already reported bug dealing with 5.1 AC3 rendering only surround channels.

I'm sure help is on its way...
