My Random Thoughts…
I have had no issues with 12 crashing during editing on my laptop since I disabled the automatic graphincs card switching (power saving i& built in Intel 4000HD or the desrete AMD). Kinda reiterates that most of the problems are driver related and not Vegas related.
In V11 I had the New Blue crashing issue because my older desktop (Q6700 Quad core / NVidia GeForce 9500GT) was not “compatible enough”
Updating to the most recent drivers, using the built in Hard Drives (Used to have issues when using external drives USB 2/3 and eSATA) has kept me prettywell crash free for a long time now at home. (although I recently started using it at church to put sermons online and it has “Stopped Responding” when I close, but does not affect editing… I’ll look deeper into that… I am almost certain it is a driver issue…

Very true, I should have been more clear in my post. I use the BitRate Calculator to find what I should use for and average bit rate for the VBR. I also use the 2-pass, although it does double your rendering time…

I do alot of this as I record my daughters dance studio shows and produce the DVDs for all the other parents. SHows are between 60 and 120 minutes. as others have said you need to render your project as a DVD Architect Video (and Audio) Stream (mpeg2 and AC3) files. The size of the file depend mainly on the bitrate you choose.
When you do a “Render As”, Select the “MainConcepts MPEG-2” File Type, then Select the “DVD Architect NTSC Video Stream” (or which ever template you need to use). Now you then can go into the “custom” settings and adjust the bitrate. 6,500,000 will get 1hr and 30min onto a 4.7GB DVD.
8,000,000 is pretty well ideal for a DVD, but you are down to around an 1hr 15min of video at that point. get down under 5,000,000 and the quality really sucks. around 1hr 45min I start thinking about a 2 dvd set. I have had very little ‘luck’ with DLDVDs (8.5gb).
Hope this long winded answer helps and is what u r looking for!
