As Rick said, I had a problem with my burner a couple years ago and it was the last thing I considered when my discs weren’t playing. I replaced it with another burner and problems disappeared.
Also, no one has asked but can we assume you are not using sticker labels on your discs? If you are this can cause alot of problems especially after the disc heats up in the player.

Okay, I’m assuming you mean you formatted an additional hard drive (internal or external) from your primary C drive.
So, in that case, you might want to look at your “Preferences/Disc Management” setup in the capture window and make sure it is capturing to the correct hard drive. Vegas (for me) always defaults to my C drive. The Disc Management tap will show you a list. Make sure it shows (if not then add) the second hard drive (ex. I/Vegas Capture – you’ll need to add the “Vegas Capture” file to the second hard drive) in the list and has it checked. If it shows the C drive on the list I’d click on it and delete it from the list.

“Plus, I’ve also found it’s a good idea to leave some fingerprint room on the outside of the disc.”
Sorry, what I meant to say was “edge” of the disc instead of “outside.”

Per the size issue. DVDA is showing the current “actual” size. Unfortunately, there is aspects likes your menu(s) that have not been compressed/rendered yet. Note before you do anything to a new project in DVDA it shows you already have something like 500MB which if you rendered it would only be a couple MBs. In Vegas, I’ve always rendered just a little under the calculated average (5-10%) so I have a little DVD real estate to play with. Plus, I’ve also found it’s a good idea to leave some fingerprint room on the outside of the disc.

If it’s not too many letters how about taping/tacky glueing on the screen white cut out letters. Or black letters and overexposing the camera.

In Vegas you would have to bring them up and sync them up yourself. In DVD-Architech you could (for the sake of looking) pull the video to the menu page and assign the wav file as the audio (if it were an ac3 file that was in the same file as the video it would load automatically). Hope that works for you.

I bet you are trying to capture to your primary (C) hard drive. You either need to install a second internal hard drive or hook up (USB2 or Firewire) an external. You can now buy a 500GB Western Digital External Hard Drive for about $130-150.

Thanks, Greg. That’s what everyone here has concluded as well. It just surprises me that with how flexible Vegas is – it let’s you change the timeline session timecode even – that it won’t let you render your clip with a little timecode flexibility as well. Maybe someday.

One more time – I’ll lay out the whole situation. I’ve set a starting time for the Vegas timeline and I’m trying to render video clips (whether AVI or MOV) with this timecode on the Vegas “session” timeline (ex. 16:15:25:02) rather than the normal rendered clip that starts at 00:00. All my other video iso’s have the same timecode as well as the multi-track digital audio recorder. I’m rendering these files to be edited on another NLE (could be AVID or FCP). This was an additional external “lipstick” cam, as they call it, that was 4:3. We’ve had to re-crop it to 16:9 (to match the other camera isos). We would like to render it with the matching timecode so the other hired NLE editor has matching timecode with the other isos and is ready to edit with After Effects and another NLE. It looks like this is one option Vegas has ignored but Sony should consider it since it is an option professionals will need from time-to-time when they’re using various software for outsourced effects.

Maybe I’m saying it wrong. I need a specific timecode (to match the other camera isos’ timecode) embedded IN the video file not window burned ON the video.
