When I render with vegas 8 in HD 1480x900 or similar, it takes hours to render 30 mins of footage.
Is this normal?
Are there any tricks I can use to speed it up?
I have a dual core, 2.5 gh laptop with 4gb of ram.
If I use the 640x480 setting it still takes 2 hours.
Surely you do not have to leave it overnight to render do you?
cheers.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

What video codec?
h264/avc hd encoding is very slow and if you use multiple passes it take even longer. -

Funny thing is my supposed slower laptop seems to render quicker than the "faster" one.
Strange. May have too many programs on the "fast" one also.
Have to clean it up a bit methinks

both on vista, one maybe as I said more clogged with programs but the 4 to 2GB or RAM should compensate. So dont know, just live with it.
Until the quad cores are out and cheap.

Dont seem to be too available in Oz.
Least not for under $7000
Another year or so and they should be everywhere.
3 years ago I would have paid twice what I did for this laptop.
And maybe with the global meltdown things will get "rushed" out ahead of time so people spend. -
you two are comparing apples and oranges. laptop and desktop. quads are mainly desktop cpus for now due to heat and power requirements.

Where are you looking ? I am in Victoria. My last PC cost $1500, and came with a quad core intel, 2 GB DDR2 ram, 80GB system HDD, 400 GB data HDD, and 22 " LCD widescreen monitor.
Ahh, I see you want a laptop - personally I wouldn't, but if that is what you want. Quad-core in a laptop basically makes it a desktop replacement, not a portable beast.
You can do it for well under AUD$3000 if you look
http://www.pioneercomputers.com.au/products/info.asp?c1=3&c2=15&id=2525
Even their top of the line model is well under AUD$5000 depending on the specs you choose.

Least it is not just me and HP laptops
Some PC mag said up to 30 hours "soon" 5 months ago
so can only hope
quad core, 20 hour battery, 2 TB HD, and 6-8GB Ram...
Am I asking for too much here?
The website you mentioned showed a solar charger (4 hours) and a portable battery charger (+3-4 hours) so things looking up a bit.

Vegas uses the Main Concepts encoder just like Premiere and a number of other editing programs. There is something else (system or cockpit) that is causing your problem. If it weren't for your 'tude, somebody could probably help you find it.
