Lagging lossless

Post by macchinainterna » Sun May 17, 2009 8:36 pm

I've got a problem here . . .

I was importing my entire Speed Racer video lossless in Vegas 6 so that I could add a fixed version of my studio's logo. Same video settings, resample disabled, and so on. When I rendered the lossless again and recompressed it I noticed that the exact same part of the video was lagging. No matter what I tried compressing it as, it would continue to lag. I have tried everything including updating my Lagarith codec and still the scene in the video lags.

Can anyone help me with this? Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or am I simply s.o.l.?

perhaps your computer isn't up to the task of playing back lossless encodes in real time

Probably. I've had the same computer for the last five years. XD;

Try defragmenting your hard drive. And if it's a laptop or something, then the hard drive will surely be too slow. Not all desktop hard drives can handle it either.

Okay I tried encoding it after defragmenting my hard drive and the lossless continues to lag at the exact same scene.

Is it a particularly high motion scene where there might be a higher bitrate that your computer just can't handle?

Also, you are working with a 7200 rpm drive, right? :P
... yea ...

It could very well be. However this lagging only happens when I import the lossless into Vegas a second time then export it. If I simply take the lossless and encode it without importing it into Vegas for any reason, then the lagging doesn't happen. :?:

And all I can tell you is that I'm working on a five year old DELL p.o.s. XD;

Try watching the encode on another computer or send it to someone that can. If it's still lagging, try a huffy codec for your lossless or uncompressed.

Actually a couple days ago ArashinomeAMV volunteered to watch the encode and said that it was lagging for him too at that scene. After that I did try using a huffy codec before to see if it would help, but it still lags.

That's when I decided to start this thread and see if anybody can help me.
