Frustrating as it may seem, a little more info on your Vegas version and setup might help to get answers, also have you added any third party codec packs?

There should be a menu on the projector to adjust aspect ratio and/or resolution. Is the DVD fed from a DVD player or computer? I assume you rendered to standard DVD specs.

A windows auto update maybe?

I think Dave wants something more prominent to indicate ripple edit is on. I have been caught a few times when I forgot to turn it off and messed up a complex timeline. The little highlighted icon up in the menu bar is too easy to miss. Would love the track header to have an indicator when in ripple edit mode… handy to know if it is on/off or single/multi track. Wish list for SVP 13.. maybe 14.

Check your project settings for the program match the media you are using. Where did you get the source video – what generated it?

Did you discover what was causing your crashes? I am interested.

To answer your question about raid and Vegas, why not try editing off a discrete single drive attached to the motherboard. A raid setup should, in theory, work with Vegas – but as I said before not all manufacturers stick to the rules.

The hard reality is hardware and drivers for Windows machines come from all corners of the computer universe, and standardisation is as leaky as a cullender when it comes to driver algorithms and code and hardware design. With so many variables it is certain there will be incompatibilities, something the Apple fraternity are largely spared.
The fact that there are so many Vegas users working away happily without problems would suggest the program is not a disaster but sensitive (unfortunately) to one or more of those code/hardware irregularities.
Your situation is doubly frustrating because you have invested in a high end machine that should be capable of handling everything quickly and faultlessly. My computer is not a match for yours, but I did assemble it myself as I have always done. On the occasion I have had repetitive crashes (with any software) I have resolved the problem by either changing a driver or drivers, or changed part of the hardware. The latter is not easy to do when one does not have a direct replacement to do A/B testing, but luckily I have been able to beg/borrow a similar replacement to use as a test. The point I make is that sometimes expensive hardware can have a weird fault, and it is a b##!*r to find. Once I had a faulty SATA cable that open circuited intermittently with just the slightest vibration. Cost me a lot of time and swear words finding that one.
So, using a bit of logic.. if Vegas is working happily on the bulk of computers… it’s back to the beige box for the answer. Something in that combination of cards and chips is being recalcitrant.
Not much help, I know … but you do have my sympathy, and I would love to know what the cause is… when you find it.Windows 7 Pro64, i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, SSD boot drive, GTX 570 Graphics, Vegas Pro 12

I am often in the same position, but I do load everything on to the timeline and play until I find the start of a piece I want. I press S to cut the video, then delete the leading piece. Then play the remainder until I get to the out point of what I want and press S again, then continue the search for the next segment. Note that when you delete the part before your next cut, the first clip you wanted will still be there. Also, if you have Ripple edit engaged, all the clips you save will be concatenated with no gaps.
Should any of the events you have created be too short or too long, you can adjust the in/out edges.
