Help me figure out why Vegas has slowed to a crawl in it's encoding. I have an i7 2600K desktop with 16GB of ram and Windows 7 64-bit. The trouble seems to be in cpu usage. It is running at less than 20% and my current encode is at 720 x 480 resolution (nothing very demanding). I am using the NEAT VIDEO plugin and I know that it is a bottle neck, but in the past it has used up to 40% CPU. At the moment, I have allowed it to run and it has completed only 3% after 5-hours of processing. The projected time is more than 21-hours remaining :o
I have been pulling my hair out trying to trouble shoot the problem. It doesn't seem to matter if I encode to MPEG2 or YUV (sony lossless codec). Both barely tax my system yet I am left waiting. I tracked down similar reports and some people seem to suggest changing the Dynamic RAM to a very small number (75 MB down to 16MB). I have tried both this adjustment and also I've tried 8GB of RAM. Neither seems to make a change.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what else I should try.
Thanks for looking.
