A 380 watt power supply, which you stated you might use, is so underpowered it’s rediculous.
I highly suggest not going with an AMD processor. If you do enough research (which I highly suggest you do), AMDs are not known for performing well in video editing systems. An Intel i5 will blow away the best AMD cpu for video editing tasks.
There are a large amount of posts on this board about building editing workstations, so I suggest using the search function and read them all. Also, sometime in the past I posted a link to CPU testing for editing tasks.

Something’s possibly not right with your system. I have an i5 3570k (not over clocked), a Radeon HD 7850 graphics card and 16gb RAM and when I use the MainConcept 1080 for internet render option, my render times are close to 1:1 (a one minute clip takes about 1 min 15 sec to render). My original footage is Sony MTS files 24mb/s and my render options are almost the same data rate as the original clips.

In the Windows ‘search’ prompt, type : Temp so the susytwm can find all temp folders. I’m quite sure the one that resides inside C:\Windows\System32 is the one that might be causing your issues. Delete all contents of that temp folder and try your render again.

If I remember correctly, Vegas does not use Cuda for rendering at all, it uses OpenCL. AMD Radeon is the card of choice.

Render to MPEG-2. That’s the format for all DVDs. If you aren’t happy with your MPEG-2 quality (even though there’s no reason it shouldn’t look good unless the original footage is from a nonprofessional camera) you can increase the render bit-rate in Vegas, as well as enable two-pass rendering.

Best render settings comes down to what the final destination is for. If it’s for your local movie theater, it’s best to ask them what video file types are compatible with their system. You never stated what you’re using to capture the video, and the file type & bit rate it uses. It would make zero sense if the video was captured by an iPhone and you want to render it to ProResHQ, for example.

That is great customer service by the duplication company!
If you ended up not getting the great offer by them, I was going to suggest not dropping the quality and just eating the loss for double-layer DVDs and chalk it up to a learning experience. It wouldn’t be wise to lower the quality and have the customers not happy with the product, because you probably wouldn’t be invited back to record another project for them.
In the business world sometimes you have to throw away profit, or even lose money, to learn from mistakes. As long as clients are happy you’ll have their repeat business.

Agreed. Windows 10 isn’t a dramatic new re-write of Windows 8.

Did you render/convert the DVD to a regular “let’s watch a movie DVD”, or is it a data DVD, where you saved the video as a data file onto the DVD?
If you converted the video before placing on the DVD, there’s your issue.

The improvement, if there is any at all, will be minimal. Replacing your current GPU isn’t really a fix when you have a system bottleneck (the AMD CPU).
