Update -

A problem has been confirmed and it is being looked into as the specific cause. It has to do with HUGE render time discrepancies between the Mac and PC using the same file I sent to e-on, with several causes to investigate.

  1. It is affected by both Mac OS 10.5.7 and Windows 7 RC running on Macs.

  2. At this time no one has reported with PC hardware and Windows Vista either 32 bit or 64 bit have this render time problem.

  3. Since both Mac and Windows 7 OS seem affected it may point to hardware rather than the OS or Vue (unknown though at this time). Otherwise if it was just one or the other OS that would narrow it down more. It may be:

A. The Mac hardware running Windows even in native mode via Boot Camp.

B. The graphics card NVIDIA 8800GT having a defect of some sort.

  1. If the graphics card is the problem, it must be determined if it is the 8800GT model made specifically for Apple or if it is an issue with the 8800GT on the PC as well.

They have looked at my file and are continuing to examine the cause since they found the render time issue as well. I will keep this thread updated as I learn more.
