Help please? |
Questions?
#1 - Usage?: Have you successfully rendered to WMV from Vegas 5b before now? If so how long ago?
#2 - Pre-render: Are you rendering from a PRE-rendered AVI file? I know it takes up space, but I always render to an AVI first. Apart from anything else if something should go silly at least you do have an AVI to fall back on and you DON'T have to wait for that extra rendering.
#3 - Windows Encoder: If you are hell bent on producing a WMV file try using the free Windows Encoder. It has a lot of functionality. I have not like the results I get via Vegas.
#4 - Housekeeping: How much free space do you have on how many HDs? Make sure you have a nice lump of free space to render to.
#5 - Reinstall: Yeah, kinda, but I'd do #4 above and then #2 just to see if it made a difference first. The you would have a TEST-positive to take on board for the future. Hey if it DOESN'T improve you could at least say you have real estate to play with? Yeah? Another thing is that I render to different HD from my Media HDs.
There are other things we could try out. IS your PC struggling to render? If straight to WMV, with loadsa FXs and so on, the MATHS is up against an overheating CPU. Again, having an AVI to start with, the majority of the maths is done? I had this with MPG rendering. My cooling fans were clogged with dust, hair and old McDonald wrappers. OK, I was joking about the hair!
