Got it down to 12 processes.
Got to get ready for night shift now.
Will paste a couple of screen dumps on Sunday
Media Studio started up OK and I rendered a small sample video then played it back with Windows Media Player so seems to be OK.

Killing tasks might shorten the time from 4 hours to 3 hours and 58 minutes. I am more concerned about why it takes 4 hours instead of 2, like it did under VS8.
I think you are going to find it will be a LOT more than that.
Take a look at this thread where 2Dogs and myself first discussed the creation of a user profile, amongst several other means of improving rendering speed.

http://phpbb.ulead.com.tw/EN/viewtopic.php?t=9611

without the use of the other suggestions and just the user profile method, on a 4 minute test clip I got it to render from the original 3 min 57 seconds (with 57 processes running) to 3 min 30 seconds (with 42 processes running)

So if I have calculated this correctly, the 27 seconds difference when rendering the same 4 minute video would equate to a saving of 6 minutes 45 seconds on a 1 hour video.

As per my previous post I am on night shift now but would be interested to see the render time now I have got it down to 12.
