The common problem with Divx it that it will work for a while to lull you into a sense of complacency then BAM a problem coming from seemingly nowhere. If Vegas says it ‘s not supported, believe them.
-
Most if not all downloaded TV shows and movies are in Divx or Xvid which Vegas does not support.
-
At least in regular Vegas there is a “TV Simulator” FX plugin that will do that. Just play with the Vertical Sync adjustment.
If this is in the Movie Studio version I do not know.

You may want to rethink the Divx idea. Vegas offers no support for it and it is famous for seemingly working fine then for no apparent reason going all pear shaped and causing huge frustration.

I think people are going to want to know where the files are coming from and also computer specs.
Just a guess from the common problem files…..a computer with Vista is likely to be a little long in the tooth and might be lacking in the horse power to work HD.
If this is footage from a DSLR You may need a newer version of the software. 9.0 is close to 2 years old when many of these new HD formats didn’t exist.
The problem with missing audio is most likely do to a problem caused by a Quicktime update that broke older versions of Vegas. You will need to back date to an old version of Quicktime 7.6.2

I think you may want to upgrade Vegas. Expecting a 5-6 year old program to support the latest HD formats is a bit unrealistic.

Ideally you would leave your C drive just for programs and system files and have a second drive for all your Media. I’d just change up your workflow to have PMB save the files to the D drive.
Going even one step better would be to have a 3rd drive to render to. This would eliminate the possible bottleneck of using the same drive to read and write to at the same time. Drives are dirt cheap now use a bunch to make life easy.
Vegas Pro has a feature to “copy media with project” This is what is used when you are archiving a project and want all the media in a nice self contained package and you can then delete all the original data to make more room on the disk. Not sure if this is available on the Studio version of Vegas.
-
What format was the original project set for and what was the original media?
Did you want it able to be played on a regular DVD player or just using a DVD as a data disk?
-
DVD spec maxs out at 720×480 (or 720×576 if you are in PAL land)
Most above average TV’s now have VERY good upscalers to make the most of SD signals.
Another thing is most all commercial DVD’s are dual layer and have ~8 gigs to work with rather then the run of the mill single layer DVD most consumers use which is limited to ~4 gigs and change.

If you shot your movies on 35 mm film, using lighting rigs that cost as mush as some countries GNP and had access to a Studio level DVD encoder (ie costing hundreds of thousand dollars) your movies would look that much better too.
But we in the regular world film on cameras with sensors the size of grains of rice, in terrible natural lighting, without a tripod and expect the world.
