Issues with 5960X underperforming in Vegas 13
Proceed to 6:40, but review the 0.25 section first. Save the codec unless you already possess it.
Added the codec and followed her instructions. It takes about 15 minutes now... Yeah, I’ll have to go with Sony’s approach.
Through some trials I discovered Vegas is the issue. With Sony's MainConcept set to maximum, the bitrate reached 25,999,360. When rendering an 8-minute clip in 17 minutes and 40 seconds, the CPU stayed under 40% load. This process ran solely on the CPU since CUDA wasn't available. Later I tried the Mainconcept codec with an average bitrate of 50 million and a maximum of 135 million, producing the same clip in 18 minutes and 20 seconds while the CPU hit about 85% usage. When I doubled the bitrate, CPU load increased but rendering time stayed nearly unchanged—unusual. Based on this, I believe Vegas 13 and its codecs don't handle 8 cores effectively, causing the CPU to operate below optimal levels. If my CPU had been more active during the first test, the render would have been quicker.
