not really.
Vegas can’t see the spaces between the songs as anything but what they are, silence.
You could have ripped the CD as individual files using any number of tools, including Vegas, saving them all as separate files, which would then of course, allow you to create separate tracks.
At this point, Split tool, and CTRL+Q are your best option.Douglas Spotted Eagle

AVI with what codec? Why would you want to? it’s not compliant with anything, and most systems that can play an AVI-wrapped file can’t play an AC3 file, and vice versa.
Could you please cite a specific example of why this would be beneficial?AVI w/AC3 used to be used heavily with the DivX codec (which Vegas does not support in later versions) as a pirate’s tool, but with MPEG 4, this has long gone the way of the dinosaur.
GordianKnot will help you do this if this is what you really wanna do.
Parting comment…Vegas is a tool for professionals and pro-sumers. It likely will never be coded to create designer file-types predominantly used by DVD rippers/pirates/file-sharers, and that’s where the avi w/AC3 format has been predominantly used. There is no place in a professional workflow (IMO) that would use this sort of packaging.Douglas Spotted Eagle

This link will show you exactly how it’s done.

the answers to this question are predominantly determined by which HD format you’re referring to.
HDCAM SR?
HDCAM?
XDCAM?
Varicam?
HDV?
AVCHD?your computer can output either DVI (Which may be best, depending on how your HDMI card is set up, it may auto-scale or reduce resolution) or component, which is also full frame.
As far as DVD players…some SD DVD players can output an MPEG4 with HD information depending on the MP4 codec used. For example, some SD DVD players can output a NERO Showtime file over component or HDMI, that is a full frame HD image.
Frame size for PAL and NTSC (if there were such a designation in the HD world/there isn’t) are the same frame sizes. Only difference is frame rate.
Overall, the experience is the same. Storage can be much the same, 1080 HDV is 13GB per hour, just like DV, as one example. CPU speed is critical, as the more highly compressed HDV stream or XDCAM stream, and especially the AVCHD stream, requires a lot of cycles to decode.Douglas Spotted Eagle

You’d have been better off without black as your background, simply by means of how an encoder works, and the noise that black generates in a DV stream, but outside of that;
Use the largest format that file size allows, ie; 640 x 480 is better than half that, unless of course, the larger frame causes the file to be too large.
You can compensate for the loss of brightness that YouTube creates by adding brightness, using either Curves or Brightness/Contrast plug.
Use the Black Restore plug to flatten out your black background.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Ric answered it well, better than I would
Blankets as close to talent as possible but out of frame.
One really great tool for windows if you don’t have anythign else…
Heavy maxi-pads with the peel-off strip. Drummers use them to mute drums, too. Wad up Kleenex and tape to panes of glass that really rattle or buzz. A couple blankets set apart by at least 6″ will really work well too.
Get mics close.
Turn off all A/C in the room if possible.
Stand in room, eyes closed, and listen to the room with no one in there. that’ll help find the bad spots.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Yes.
Open the track FX, select all keyframes (Click/drag is my method) and CTRL+C to copy.
Open FX on new track, and CTRL+V to paste them. They’ll go into the same time points as the original. Takes longer to type the question/answer than it takes to actually do it.Douglas Spotted Eagle

the progressive segments will be interlaced regardless of what you do to them if you’re rendering to interlaced. You can’t have an interlaced DVD with some progressive segments and some interlaced. You can mix them on a timeline, but ultimately an interlaced project will have to be deinterlaced for a progressive DVD and a progressive project will have to be interlaced for an interlaced DVD.
That said, you could render the progressive segments as progressive segments, thus tossing the resolution, then import those segments into Vegas, or you could have a progressive project and nest it into Vegas. I’m not sure the effect would be the same, not having done this to the point of rendering. I have nested them, and it appears fine on a monitor, but I haven’t rendered.
Architect will have no problems with a master file created from both P and I content whether the master file is P or I.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Any keyframes on an event (not the track) will copy from one project to another. If the keyframes are at the track level, you can copy track keyframes to another project, but it’s a different process.

Which version of Vegas are you using? If you’re using Vegas 6/7, you’ve got HD templates in the AVI options, and in 7, you’ve got HD templates in the AVI and MPEG options. Choose the format first (it’s the lower box of the options) and then choose the template, or select the CUSTOM button to modify an existing template.
You can always modify the options as well; Vegas has been HD capable since version 2.Douglas Spotted Eagle
