Personally I prefer to use Colour Curves rateher than Brightness & Contrast. B&C affects the whole picture, whereas CC gives you the choice of affecting just darks, mids or brights.

Any modern laptop should be fine – I have an “ancient” P4 1.6 Ghz model with 1 Gb ram which does everything, including editing HDV, thanks to Gearshift’s .avi proxy files.
I always use external drives for video – for many reasons, including flexibility in switching from desktop to laptop.
You can instal Vegas on both, but only use one at a time – Sony have a very reasonable policy here.

Should be the same as any other effect – make sure you haven’t changed the size of the window – try pulling down the bottom edge.

May or may not help, but I’ve kept my widescreen projects as widescreen throughout – that is, Vegas project properties, render settings and DVDA project settings.
This way, when the video is played on a 4:3 TV, the TV does the letterboxing, and the pic looks fine. When played on a widescreen TV, it fills the screen.

The “Floormat” as you call it is merely the program that your PC has that type of file associated with. It doesn’t change what the underlyiog file IS – there are often several different types associated with Media Player.
To change the association settings, open a folder in My Computer, then select Tools > Folder Options > File Types.

Try using Wingdings or simlar as a font in the Text Generator. This way you can resize using font size, rotate with Pan Crop or Track Motion, change position using either P/Crop, Track Motion or Placement in the Text generator, and add outline or shadow.
To see which Key does which character, Windows has a Character Map accessory – under WINDOWS/System 32/charmap.exe. I keep a shortcut on the desktop.

This sounds unusual – so, if you position the cursor over an event and hit the space bar, nothing happens?
Make sure you’re not creating a small looped region by dragging the timeline.
Sounds like you may need to reinstal. Do you get playback elsewhere in Vegas, e.g. by clicking the play button in Vegas Explorer or Media Pool, or by right clicking and selecting Open in Trimmer then using play button or space bar?

Like you I generally use DVD-R, but when occasionally someone can’t play one, I replace it with a DVD+R.
This almost always works ok.

One way is to connect the audio and video outs, either s-video or composite, to the inputs of a DV camera or A/D converter, then capture the video via firewire in Vegas.

I don’t know Procoder, but I have successfully done this simply by saving the PAL DVDA project as “XXX NTSC version”, changing the Project Settings to NTSC and letting DVDA do the work.
