Thanks, Mike.
I will grab some screenshots in a little while once my computer is done with a different render it is working on right now for something completely different.
I really appreciate your desire to help me solve this problem.

A bit more info…
I noticed for the first time that, when I go to burn the DVD, the notices say:
“The video on track 2 ‘Video’ will be recompressed.”
Is this bad? It is the only thing listed with a yellow icon rather than a blue “i” icon like I get for the rest that concern the audio and menu actions.
Could this have anything to do with my issue?

Okay, I have now tried every audio filetype available in Vegas. DVD Architect Studio gives me the “unsupported format” error every. Single. Time. What am I doing wrong here?
Another thread in this forum from a few years ago lists these options as ones DVD Architect Studio will accept:
Audio: .aa3, .ac3, .aif, .ogg, .oma, .sfa, .vox, .w64, .wma
None work. At least, seemingly. The video filetype could be the problem, but I have rendered it exactly as instructed.
I appreciate the help so far very much. But it looks like my adventure is not over here…

…I looked this up on other threads here and it seems people have had this problem in the past. However, it got resolved by rendering the audio as .wav instead of .ac3, but when I tried this, it still gives me the “unsupported format” error message. It shouldn’t have to do with the video since I followed your previous instructions. Ugh.

So everything seemed to work out fine until the end, when it gave me the same old “unsupported file type” message. Maybe because I used an mp3 for the sound. But I only did so because I tried to render audio as AC3 like you suggested and DVD Architect would not recognize the file and allow it to be drag-and-dropped onto the timeline…
I am at a loss here…

You’re right, my bad about the frame size. That is relatively the same result I’m getting, and under normal circumstances that would be fine, I am just worried about if someone watches this on an HDTV and/or through an HDMI cable and sees how pixelated it really is. I have seen higher resolution images and text in DVD movies before. Why is it that I *have to* use these settings for burning to a DVD? I guess I will do it if it’s the only way. I just wish it was higher definition. I swear DVDs normally look better than this. I know it’s not Blu-ray by any means. Just confused, I guess.

White text, about 12 px in size, Copperplate Gothic Lite (the official branding font for the company the film is being made for).

It is mostly text that gets way too distorted. I have titles throughout the film. It’s harder to see the pixelated-ness of the actual footage, but when text comes up, it looks awful. So I would suggest test renders that include text to see what I’m coming up against personally.

Okay, hopefully this works.

What file type should I render it at for you? Or do you want just a short clip from the source footage? That would probably work. It is .m2ts footage.
