changing a rendered five
Now – if you notice you had a typo on some text – or that you need to modify the timings/duration of a transition you can do that now by “slicing” away the small sections of your rendered AVI to expose the underlying original media/events. Now make your changes.
I need to change about two minutes of a 100 minute already rendered MPEG2 project I have searched treads on how to do this and found the above do not understand how this is done (how do I slice what buttons tools do I use. do I slice the rendered file or the project and how is this done) I have a training video but nothing there on this subject

Using Vegas, you’ll need to re-render the entire project to MPEG2 again.

OK if I had rendered in an AVI file how do I do the above

Place the rendered DV-AVI video on a track ABOVE your current project, cut out the sections that need to be “fixed” from the top track and fix them on the lower tracks. When done, re-render to DV-AVI and only the cutout portions will be rendered. The rest will be COPIED.

Do I render to a new AVI file as I am not able to render to the origional
Thomas Q -
Yes… render to a new AVI file…. the old AVI file is being used to generate the new AVI file. You can’t overwrite something that you are using (at that moment) as the source of your new AVI file (sort of a catch-22 – or your would be violating the laws of physics).
Once the final render has been done… THEN you can delete the old AVI file.
By the way… remember to either delete or MUTE the audio track which you probably added when you load the rendered AVI file back into the old Veg file. Otherwise you will get duplicated audio – and the levels will be way too high.

Thanks for your help I am new to vegas and struggling a bit I have done as you have said made anew AVI file and at the moment vegas is rendering all the project not only the bit that was changed obviously I am doing something wrong and am grateful for any help from any of you experts that take all this for granted

In order to re-render that AVI file Vegas will need to “render” the entire timeline. That is normal. However… it should do the “rendering” (actually copying) of the unchanged parts of the timeline VERY quickly.
Usually we get worried about re-rendering times when the project we are working on has a lot of FX’s and other things added to the source video that significantly adds on to the render time. If your original project is pretty much just a “straight-cuts” sort of project then it would have likely just been as simple to make changes to your original Veg and render as before. The step of adding your original AVI back to the Vega and doing all that work was making an assumption (my assumption) that your original project took a long(ish) time to render.
How long did it take for your original 100 minute file to render?

and… just to be sure here… you ARE loading a DV-AVI file back onto the timeline right? Your original post mentioned you had rendered to MPEG… and later on you mentioned that you had rendered to DV AVI. Which is it?
If you load an MPEG file back onto the timeline… that is absolutely the worst thing to do.

The original render to AVI was near 1 hour the re render was just over 35 mins the changes made to events were for re render were 3 minutes long is this the norm
Yes it is an AVI I have a MPEG2 file of the same project as well but I did nothing to it
