> “Last I checked, the Dual Layer media was all +R ”
Is that right? Thanks Gary – I haven’t dabbled with D/L yet

I think most models will burn either + or – , so keep your options open.

Ridata are from Ritek and they have a good reputation for reliability. I have also read good reports about Taiyo Yuden. Speed wise, most recommend 4x but these are becoming harder to find – 8 x are becoming more common. I have heard no reports about 16x discs.
Regarding burner – if you’re using DVDArchitect there’s a list of “approved” brands at Sony’s site somewhere. I would get a Dual Layer model even if you’re not using these yet.

Firstly, to capture as a single clip you need to disable Scene Detection in Capture preferences.
Dropped frame symptoms are usually related to system specs, hard drive space or speed or something else running at the same time. Were there any gaps in the recorded footage? That may lead to short bursts of static etc, but this should not continue once you’re recording.
I would try a recapture as single file and see if the same thing occurs.

Any changes can be Undone, saved or not, if the same session of Vegas is still open.
As soon as you close and reopen, the Undos are gone.
Good habit is, whenever you make what you consider a significant change, Save as Project 002, 003 etc, then you can go back any time.

I haven’t read up about this Rick, but maybe some sort of luminance masking would help isolate the darkest parts of the picture.
One other idea – chroma key out the black and have an identical event below, to which blur is applied.

Sure can – just lift the same FX onto the Event and a second Cookie Cutter window will open.

Things are changing. For a long while DVD-R was found to be the most compatible but that may no longer be so.
If your burner only burns + you have no choice. Many nowadays do both.

Joseph, the easiest way is to apply a second Cookie Cutter to the same event – I once had to track half a dozen different kids round a school yard, and had six Cookie Cutters each following their own subject!

If you zoom right in you can have a keyframe every frame, but you wouldn’t normally need that many.
When doing this sort of operation, I usually start by doing on every 2 or 3 seconds, then play/preview that, and if the blurred area “loses” track of the part I’m trying to cover, I insert intermediate ones and move the Cookie Cutter as necessary.
