It is a limit within the DVD standard for a playable DVD.

You could try File->import->media.

My point was that I don’t think the monitor profile is an application responsibility. My understanding is that the OS, Windows in my case, applies the profile. A Spyder program (in my case) does initially load the profile information for Windows to use, but, thereafter, Windows uses that information as it updates the screen. Thus, it is not CS6 that adapts between different monitor profiles, it is the OS doing that job. Thus, it is not necessary for Vegas to apply the profile since Windows is doing that job in the background for all applications.
I always concede that my understanding may be remiss, so, if anyone has a more detailed explanation, I will be most interested.

Spyder includes software which loads the monitor profile when the system boots. The profile is then used for all applications. There is, to my knowledge, no ability to load a monitor profile in any of the applications that you mention, so Vegas is not an exception. In my case, videos still remain a bit of an art because a television does not render the same result as your computer monitor. It still remains an art to achieve the result that you want on an external display such as a television.

I set up a paging file on one of the normal hard drives first. I make sure that the new paging file is above the minimum that Windows recommends. Then I disable the file on the SSD drive. If Windows gives me that message, I ignore it because another paging file is already in place. I don’t think the changes are actually made until Windows reboots.

I do not have a paging file on an SSD because of the potential for errors if there is too much write activity on an SSD. I use the manual option to set up paging files on my hard drives.

Be sure to check that the icon is within the safe area on the screen.

One technique that’s used in photography to obtain an even spread of the light is to use an L-shaped, white reflector on each side of the screen and a few feet in front of it. The reflector is the length of the screen with each side of the L a few feet wide. The lights are positioned facing the reflector rather than the screen itself so that all light on the screen is reflected. The caveat is that the technique was taught using a powerful flash pack, so the trick would be lights which are powerful enough.

I would try a Windows screen capture pasted directly into Photoshop. Photoshop can then increase the resolution of the image, add contrast, etc. The image can then be cropped for the appropriate aspect ratio, and saved for use in Vegas. When I do this, I keep the pixel count high enough so that the saved image has twice the resolution of the Vegas project. I also save the image as a PNG although other formats can be used.

I have not tried a BD disk yet, but, when I insert a blank DVD, Windows always puts up a screen asking what I want to do with the disk. I always shut down that dialogue by clicking the X button to prevent Windows from doing anything to “prepare” the disk.
