I know that it is a known issue, but only affects some users. I am unsure if it was fixed in the 9.0c update. I could not find it in the release notes: https://sony-241.vo.llnwd.net/dspcdn/releasenotes/vegaspro90c_readme_enu.htm
I would recommend you send this issue to Sony so that they can bump it up on their fix list.
Here is the link for that: https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/myaccount/mysupport.asp

I have never owned any of the consumer versions of Vegas, but I do know the pro version can open the files produced by the consumer version. However, I think what has you is that you are creating them in 9 and expecting pro 8 to open them. I would dare say pro 8 could open any of the previous versions of the consumer software but not any higher.
You should be able to download the free trial of Vegas Pro 9 and open the files you have without issue.

Try this. Close out of every instance of Vegas. Resave the file to a png and try to keep it under 3 megs. This should give you plenty of room to really zoom in on the picture and move to your hearts content.
Be sure to save the file with a different name and then open Vegas and drop it in your project. The red frame should go away.
Let us know.

2 options.
1. Save the veg file. Once you move the audio and video files to a new folder the next time you open that project it will ask you for the file directory. Simply tell Vegas where you put them and that takes care of your issue of moving the files.
2. Render it out.
I am curious as to why you would not want to render it? This seems to be the end goal of all editing work- to get it in a final form for distribution. I’m just curious what you are doing if you don’t want to render the project.

1. You will need to split it. However, you can use a womble product to do this for you without reencoding it and it is quick and has a free trial.
2. You will need to download a bitrate calculator. Here is one for you. This will help you to know where to split or, more precisely, how to set your bitrate to get the most on a disc you can- keep in mind, you can fit 8 hours on a disc, but the quality will be horrible. I would say 1 hour for top quality on a single layer disc. 2 hours is acceptable depending on the movement of the footage. Again, that is just my preference for a single layer disc.
3. As far as the TV. I would encode it to widescreen if you shot in widescreen. If not, then use 4:3 if that is what you shot it in. The TV’s can adjust for either. If it was 4:3 instead of 16:9 you will see black pillar boxes on both sides of the video on a widescreen. If it was 16:9 and you are watching it on a 4:3 tv it will show letterboxing (black bars on top and bottom). And of course, some tv’s have settings that override this. Some stretch the picture to make it fit the entire screen. They can change this in the TV settings.
Good luck.

The Dar file is a project file This is used for saving your project to use later (so you can insert media into the same project quickly). If you start a new project in DVD Architect you can then insert your media (avi file). However, note that it will recompress the file. You ideally want to output to Mpeg-2 video stream from Vegas. I believe with the platinum your audio will need to be wav? I could be wrong on the audio aspect as I don’t have that version of vegas.

Yes, one of the many benefits to Vegas is that you can mix all kinds of footage on the timeline. This should work without issue as your output will be SD I assume. You will key in HD and then manipulate your keyed footage to fit against your SD background and then render to an SD format.

One of the best purchases I ever made was Cinescore from Sony. It integrates with Sony Vegas Pro 8 & 9 32 bit platforms and is really good. You can buy individual themes to use with the program for about 10 USD. It is well worth the program cost and allows for customizing the music. There are other ones out there as well that allow for the creation of freely usable music, but they all cost on the front end.
You can also do a search in your search engine of choice for royalty free copyright free music. You will of course be limited to what is out there and you may not be able to edit it for length- depending on the licensing.

The margins on the left and right are normal in the Vegas preview. I have not noticed them on an actual TV. I believe that in vegas they are due to you using a par of 1.333 on a par 1.000 computer monitor. I could be wrong on that but that is what I am thinking.
In addition, all TV’s crop areas of the screen that you can see on your pc. I would be very surprised if you could really see this on a consumer tv that is set to display widescreen material.
Take a look at the DVD on a TV again and see if you can really see the lines there. If so, what type/model tv do you have? Also, try it on another TV as well if you have the means.

Can you post a screen shot of what it is doing? Could it be that the field order is wrong? You know, Lower Field First instead of Upper Field First?
