Go through everything you’ve edited and tighten it up, maybe – that’ll save you quite a lot when it all adds up.
You could perhaps add a letterbox for less data in each frame!
You could also split the film/video or whatever into two parts, and have two DVDs.
I think you can also get higher capacity DVDs, which is perhaps worth looking into.

Has it done this before?
In task manager, go to the Processes tab, highlight any process and press ‘V‘ till you find ‘vegas80‘ and press End Process. This will completely stop it. Now try opening Vegas again.
Usually works for me!

I asked a similar question recently, and John Rofrano gave a spot on answer:
[John Rofrano] “You should go to File | Render As… then select MainConcept MPEG2 with the DVD Architect 24p NTSC Widescreen video stream template. Then go back and do the same for the audio using the Dolby Digital AC-3 Pro codec and the Stereo DVD template. Use this video and audio file to author your DVD in DVD Architect.”
Instead, of course, you would choose DVD Architect NTSC Video Stream to match your source frame rate.
Give DVD architect another chance <3!

Hi there!
I get this also, particularly in ‘Draft’ quality, but never as extreme as that. Usually just a black blur from the empty space outside of the preview frame.
If you shot on tape there are sometimes alignment problems and you lose a column of like 5 pixels at the side.
If it isn’t in your output or ‘full’ previews, you might just have to try and ignore it.
Does this appear when you watch the footage in other media players?
Does it disappear when you crop in Event Pan/Crop?Daniel Hughes

If you did want to edit in DVD NTSC 720×480 resolution, go with 1.2121 as this will give you widescreen.
But, like John said, you may prefer to just edit in HD.
Glad you got that sorted!

[John Rofrano] “I would edit the whole thing in HD and then render to NTSC DVD 24p Widescreen for your customers”
That’s interesting! My film I’m working on just now I tend to edit at DVD resolution and render in HD, but only because my computer can’t ‘Dynamic RAM Preview’ HD as quickly as SD. I do use HD for colour correcting etc, however!

Hmm, odd. I downloaded them and my copy of Vegas recognises them as progressive.
If you render in MPEG 2 ‘DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream’ it looks great, and it says ‘YUV, 6 Mbps’ answering your third question.
It looks just as good as any television or DVD I’ve seen, because you usually watch television from a few metres away where on computers you’re sometimes only inches away!There does seem to be a bit of aliasing, however, but this seems to become less noticeable when you add some Chroma Blur.
Perhaps you should try rendering with the setting I mentioned, and stand far away from the screen when you view it – like the distance you would be if you were watching television – and it looks wonderful!
I don’t understand why you’re having such a dilemma though, it seems fine here. Perhaps someone else will be able to offer better help!
Nice car, also.

You might have the mono downmix selected above your mixer. It looks like a little speaker. If yes, you simply click on it and the icon will change to one of two speakers: this means you’re on stereo.

Is it the same thing as flash photography?
You see a video clip or whatever and the flashes seem to do the same thing…Daniel Hughes

Watch out though, when you load a video the audio track is bound to it as one, so when you do the ‘S’ split you will split the video and the audio. If you only want to do the one, you can press ‘U’ to separate them.
