[Rick Hughes] “If instead I do “open Copy in Editor” it then opens OK, I can edit as necessary, …”

That’s the way you want to do it as this method is non-destructive to your original file.

“but how do I do a ‘save or close’ and get it to replace the audio track automatically in Vegas …”

Doing it with the “open Copy in Editor” method automatically creates a new event for you and labels it as Take 2 in your Vegas project.
Do your processing in Sound Forge, click Save and your Vegas project audio event is automatically updated. The Take 2 WAV file is also saved in the same folder as the source event.
In Vegas, you can switch between the original audio event and the new one by clicking on the audio event and pressing t.

A DVD is standard def (720×480 for NTSC) only so that’s why it’s rendering it again.
You need to render from Vegas using the appropriate DVD Architect MPEG-2 template for video and Dolby Digital AC-3 pro template for audio.
Give both the same name and render them to the same folder.
That way, when you load the video file into DVD Architect, the audio file will automatically follow,

I can do that. Theo, see if this works for you.

I tried it in Pro 9 and, other than the missing media, it opened up just fine.

Magic Bullet Looks is edited in it’s own FX window which you get to it by clicking the Edit button.

[Harry Mitchell] “So how can I make sure the event is starting exactly on the the frame boundary if quantization has been turned off…”

Zoom in pretty close to the end of an event on your timeline. Place your cursor at what you think is the end of the event. Use the left and right arrow keys to go back one frame and then forward one frame. If the cursor ends at the end of the event, you’re OK. If it doesn’t, go back one frame and drag the end of the event back to the cursor. Repeat this procedure for all problem events.

HINT: place the cursor at the beginning of the first event and use the numeric 9 key to move to forward to the end of the event (numeric 7 key moves back to the beginning of the event). Use the left and right arrow keys as explained above to ensure that the cursor is stopping on a frame. If it doesn’t, repeat the above procedure.
Press the numeric 9 key to jump to the beginning of the next event.
Repeat as necessary.

NOTE: If you have events on more than one track, you’ll have to do this for all events on each track.

[Harry Mitchell] “why not just leave it on if it’s supposed to make sure all events start and end on a frame boundary?”

That’s the way you’re supposed to edit.
To repeat what John said in the post above yours: “You should always edit video with Quantize to Frames turned ON.”

I’ve only done this with a DVD5, not a 9.
If it’s a copyrighted video (i.e. commercial product) you’re trying to rip, that would explain it as Vegas won’t allow you to import it.

Jacob, make sure you drag the one labeled VTS_01_0.IFO as the other one (VIDEO_TS.IFO) won’t work.

Glad I could help!!
If you plan to do a lot of this in the future, definitely check out the program John recommended as it looks like a very useful tool.
