Yes. You will need to find the codec that gspot said was unsupported in a video for windows flavor and install it if you want to work with it in Vegas.
Once you have the name of the codec then you should be able to edit it if you can find it. Gspot should give you the name.

You could purchase the Pro version of Vegas and make your dimensions whatever you want, but why would you want to render to the dimensions you stated above?

You can’t send a veg file and render out to avi just from that- one would need all the corresponding files as well (your footage).
Try this: Do a loop region around the last half of the timeline footage. Render that out to a format that will not take much of a quality hit (uncompressed avi if you have the hard drive space for it).
If that goes through without issue, render out the first half using the same method and then reattach them on another timeline and render to the codec of your choice.

Download a program called g-spot and drag the avi file over the “g-spot” on your desktop once you get it installed. It will tell you what codec is used for the file.
Avi is just a wrapper. Anything can be in that wrapper. Kind of like at Halloween- you get all kinds of candy and some don’t have names on the wrapper so anything could be in them. Avi works the same way. It is just the casing the video comes in. What you need to find out is what is in the wrapper and then you will need the video for windows codec that will allow you to see it within Vegas.

Can you post your veg file somewhere on the web so I can download it? I would like to see how it renders out for me using your settings and compare that with my template.

Have you checked the health of your hard drive that contains the footage? I had this issue once when my PC was struck by lightning via the ethernet connection. The hard drive was failing and I was getting random red frames.
Try moving your footage to another hard drive and have Vegas to find it on the other drive.
You may also want to check your memory and make sure you have plenty of free memory.

What does your project consist of? Media types? Are you doing compositing? 3D Track Motion? Big Picture files? What are your system specs? Hard drive specs?

1. I would recommend you download the free trial to ensure that it will import your files correctly. You can go to File/Import/DVD Camcorder disc and it should import the DVD footage (it will take some time depending on the size of the disc, the speed of your disc drive, etc. Also, it should have no problem with AVCHD- although, avchd is very taxing on systems.
2. I am unfamiliar with Ulead’s product. It could simply be that it doesn’t know how to handle avchd or ac3 audio files.

You will also want to ensure that your opacity slider is set to 100% and nothing below (unless you want it that way)- moving the track opacity slider causes a big hit in performance.

It depends on what your project consists of.
Good uses bilinear scaling without integration, while Best uses bicubic scaling with integration. If you’re using high-resolution stills (or video) that will be scaled down to the final output size, choosing Best can prevent artifacts.
The above was taken from the help file that comes with Vegas Pro.
