Go to File/New and choose “Single Movie”. Give that a go and see if you get an error. This takes away the menus.
Do try rendering a short section at 1440×1080 and see what effect that has.
If that doesn’t work, let me know and maybe I can remote in to your editing station and see what you are doing if you want. If that is the case, we need a time- I am in the central US. Currently it is 8.30 in the evening.

Have you tried any other media? Perhaps try a short clip of standard definition material or do a shorter clip of your HD material just so as to rule out it being workflow or program related.
Also, are you giving it enough time to load in DVDA? There should be a progress bar at the bottom giving you a percentage of the amount of footage that has been loaded. It may take a while. How big/long is your video stream?

Do you have a BluRay project set up in DVDA 5 or is it still set for DVD? Go to File/New and on the first drop down box change it from DVD to BluRay.
If you do not want to burn a bluray disc, you will want to use the Mainconcept encode for widescreen DVDA Template in Vegas as opposed to the Bluray template.

Did you accidentally move the opacity slider by chance on the timeline containing the nested vegs? This can cause that effect.
Also if you are using 3D track motion on the veg file that contains the nested veg, it may also be the culprit.

Can you give some more detail?
1. What was your original file types that you brought into Vegas?
2. What file format did you render your video to? Audio to?
3. How did you bring the file into DVD Architect 5?
4. Did you add it as a menu object by mistake?
You say you added the video file and then clicked make dvd- did you add the audio? Will it let you?

No word on when 9 will be released (or the features in it), but if there are benefits in 8 that you want- I would go ahead and get it. You may be able to find it cheaper at B&H or Tigerdirect or Amazon than direct from Sony, but if you buy 8pro from Sony and then they come out with 9 within the grace period, you should be able to upgrade to 9 free of charge.

1. The stuttering effect is not related to your video card. Vegas is platform agnostic and really all that matters is the speed (and number) of your cpu’s and the amount of ram you have.
2. The softness is a compromise. The further down the preview options you go, the lower the quality but the faster the frame rate.
3. If you really need to see the full quality, you can do a ram preview and that will allow you view at full/best without the stutters- but this is limited by the amount of ram you have.
4. You could also do a pre-render. This is not limited by ram, but if you make a change afterwards, you lose your rendered file and the choppy effect will return.
I usually watch mine in good/auto or preview/auto and when I need to really check an fx or mask, I will then go to Best/Full (I have a octo-core machine with 8 gigs of ram and I still use good or preview/auto).

Here you will find some video tutorials (the same ones that convinced me to buy the software) that will answer all of your questions.
If you have Vegas 7 or 8pro, you can use it as a plugin (I think 7, but you better double check that if you don’t have 8). Just click on the Cinescore plugin (generated music) and it will open up within Vegas so you can work on it there. Or you can open up Cinescore and do what you need to there and then bring it into Vegas.
Once you make it how you want in Cinescore, you can then do whatever you want to it in Vegas just like any other audio (it is a wav file once it generates).
Hope this helps.

Yep. Just open two instances of Vegas and copy the one you want and then paste it.
You can also save it as a preset that can be available for all of your projects.

It is the video output fx- the same icon that you would click on the event to add an fx or on the track to add an fx.
