Local video files buffering

[Varpin]

Hello everyone,

 

So some my local video files that I have on my PC buffer when I play them. If I want to skip the video forward I need to wait from seconds to minutes before the video skips and starts playing again. If I'm correct this only happens with videos that I've rendered recently with Vegas Pro 15 (all older rendered, recorded or any type of videos work perfectly, only new rendered videos with vegas pro buffer). Doesn't matter how long the video is, it buffers if I want to skip it. This just randomly started to happen out of nowhere.

 

So only recently rendered short and longer videos buffer. I've tried to play the videos on different HDDs and SSDs, with VLC and with Windows video player, in different browsers, but still same results.

Checked drive health status and it's okay also.

What usage do you see in task manager?

 

What are your system specs?

 

What is the video codec + bit depth + bitrate + chroma subsampling? Is it being decdoing in hardware.

 

Try using a different codec in vegas pro? Something like 20mbit h.264 should play on basically anything these days.

If I play a recently rendered video HDD usage jumps between 0-13%

 

PC specs are Ryzen 7 1700, GTX 1060, 16 GB DDR4 2133mhz RAM

 

And for my render settings I use H.264, 30 Mbps, bit depth: 8, and sorry not sure about chroma subsampling

 

I've used these settings for almost everything I render. Bit rate is the only thing I might change for worse or better depending on the video...

Can you try a different codec, like h.265?

Just rendered a 3 minute long 1080p 60 fps video in H.264 and H.265. Buffering still happening with both... I'll try a different codec and see if it helps

Okay, so Sony AVC/MVC (which I think is also H.264) seems to be working. No buffering when playing video. It's really strange if this happens with MAGIX AVC/ACC but not with Sony H.264... Also Sony H.264 renders 3x longer.

 

EDIT: Sony AVC/MVC started also buffering now for some reason...
