I’ve been registered for years for multiple Sony products and never received an email from them once. I am registered now after following the link suggested by Mike. Thanks!

A search on Google suggests re-installing any drivers that came with the burner, but also implied that the burner was added later. You may also investigate updating the firmware on the burner itself.

I also came across this on the SCS website:

I am using a motherboard with an nForce chipset, and my Sony Creative Software program does not see my DVD or CD drive. How do I fix this?

If you are having problems with drive detection in our software, make sure you have the latest nForce chipset drivers provided by NVIDIA. Some motherboard manufacturers only provide older versions of the drivers on their own websites. Download the newest drivers directly from NVIDIA to correct the problem. If the software is still not detecting the drive please contact Customer Service for further help.

A workaround could be just to Prepare your DVD instead of trying to Burn it, then use Nero to burn the DVD using its Burn DVD Video Files function. You only need the files in the VIDEO_TS folder that DVDA creates.

What is you source media, your project settings and your export (render template) settings?

90 minutes to render 5-8 minutes of video is very, very slow. You should be able to render that size of project in little over 10 minutes in most circumstances. Something in your work flow does not appear to be right.

This article refers to multi-camera editing, not the external display monitor setup.

Follow this from the Sony Vegas help

From the Options menu, choose Preferences and then click the Preview Device tab.

From the Device drop-down list, choose Windows Secondary Display. The Details box displays information about the device.

From the Display Adapter drop-down list, choose the device where your preview monitor is connected.

You can click the Identify Displays button to determine which display corresponds to each setting in the drop-down list. A number will be displayed on each monitor.

From the Display Mode drop-down list, choose the frame size and refresh rate you want to use for the secondary display.

Setting
Description

Use Current Settings
Video is displayed using the monitor’s resolution and refresh rate specified in the Windows Display Properties control panel.

Automatic Size Settings
The software will attempt to choose the optimum resolution and refresh rate. This setting overrides the Windows Display Properties setting as long as the secondary display window is active.

Pick Custom Settings
You can choose the resolution and refresh rate you want to use. This setting overrides the Windows Display Properties setting as long as the secondary display window is active.

Select the Scale output to fit display check box if you want the video preview to fill the display.

Select the Apply deinterlace filter check box if you’re previewing interlaced video on a noninterlaced display. This filter can reduce the artifacts you often see on the edges of moving areas.

The Apply deinterlace filter check box will be unavailable if your video adapter does not support pixel shading.

If you want to adjust color reproduction for video previews, use the color management controls.

Select the Use color management check box.

Select the Use Studio RGB check box if your source media conforms to studio RGB color (black=16 and white=235) and you will be previewing on your computer’s CRT or LCD monitor. When the check box is selected, the studio RGB range is expanded to 0 to 255 to conform to a computer display.

Clear the check box if you will be previewing on a TV monitor or if your source media does not conform to studio RGB color.

From the Monitor color profile drop-down list, choose the color profile that best matches your display.

You can obtain ICC/ICM color profiles from the display manufacturer, or you can create your own if you have a calibration system.

The Use color management check box will be unavailable if your video adapter does not support gamma adjustment.

Select the Recompress edited frames check box if you want to recompress edited frames in your project before previewing. When the check box is cleared, edited frames will not be passed to your preview device.

Select the Display frames in Video Preview window during playback check box if you want to preview on the secondary monitor and in the Vegas Pro Video Preview window simultaneously.

When the check box is cleared, video is sent only to the secondary monitor.

Do you get the same behavior from the rear headphone jack as well? Most modern systems have one on the front panel and one on the rear. If it works for one but not the other, the problem is most likely in the audio hardware setup (typically a RealTek device) or the software that controls it, not Vegas.

Try reinstalling DVDA

It could also be windows. If you are using windows 7, start Vegas then click on the volume icon in your taskbar and choose mixer. You might see the volume slider for Vegas is turned all the way down.

I would also try a project without Boris FX and see if the problem persists. If it does and you are able to obtain crash reports, you need to report your problem to Sony and submit the reports for analysis.

You might want to check if there is an update for Boris FX and if not, report the problem with them, too. It’s not always Vegas that’s at fault.

Glad to be of assistance. I was once a complete novice, too.

I thought you were using png’s as described in your first post. I have not had any issues with jpeg sizes, even up to 8+ MB. I use photographs from wedding videographers and do not use anything less than 240 dpi images.

If I am given 1MB files, they tend to be lower quality preview images and are generally unsuitable as they start to introduce jagged edges. The lower quality images you are using may explain the shuddering as there is less data for Vegas to work with.

Have you tried higher quality images?
