same problem here, also with the maxtor one touch storage as firewiredrive. Often the drive disappears after the camcorder (on another firewireport) is switched on or off, apparently it is not safe to turn these firewiredevices on or off with computer running: Usually the external drive recovers after reboot, but I allready had to format the drive once because bootsectors became damaged.

I would also like to know if changing DMA mode helps, and how to do that.

If the goal is really editing dvd’s, Vegas isn’t the right application. Recently I found an incredibly good MPEG editor called Womble MPEG video wizard (https://www.womble.com/). It is an amazing program and absolutely unique in its kind: frame accurate MPEG2 editing without any re-encoding. No quality loss at all. You can add titles, edit, add transitions, etc. If you have to repair that one very small mistake in that 120 minutes 3 pass VBR dvd you just made, it will save you many hours of rendering. I’ve been playing with the demo, and adore it.

Yes i’ll try that, or maybe I can get the original camera again to try printing back to tape.

import System.Windows.Forms;
import Sony.Vegas;
for (var track in Vegas.Project.Tracks){
for (var evnt in track.Events){
if (evnt.Selected){
evnt.Length=evnt.ActiveTake.Length
}
};
};

It’s really annoying if you try to use project nesting. The nested projects may change length in the main project all the time, so you have to ajust them manually, but when they don’t snap to the end point, you are likely to end up with all sorts of unexpected behaviour.
