When you go to the “Render As” window, it asks you where to put the rendered files.

Installing an SSD will have an effect on boot time, and a slight improvement of program loading performance, but not much else.
However, if installing the SSD and replacing the O/S with a purchased copy of Win 7 (as opposed to the crapware-loaded Dell version of Windows 7), you may just fix your problems.
Here’s a tip – right from Microsoft Tech Support – you can install a full version of Windows 7 from an upgrade disc. All you need to buy is Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade (about $90 the last time I looked). Here’s the trick. The first time the install asks for the software key, just press continue. Don’t enter the license key and Windows installs in the demo mode. When finished, run the update again, but this time enter the license key.
Another tip – On all of my PC’s there is only one user. Me. During the install when it asks for a user name, don’t enter anything – just hit “continue”. When it boots, it goes right to the desktop with no login needed.

You give DVDA a DVDA compliant MPEG2 file (using the DVDA template in Vegas) less than 4.37Gb and DVDA won’t try to recompress it.

They are both MPEG 2 Transport Stream. I am not aware of any difference between them.

It sounds like you are letting DVDA re-encode the file to fit the disc. If so, big mistake. I very frequently have 1.5 to 2-hours on a DVD, sacrificing a bit of quality to make it fit on the disc. Encoded filesize is entirely dependent on the bitrate. The default bitrate in the MPEG encoder in Vegas is good for about 70-minutes of video.
Google “Mark’s DVD Bitrate Calculator”. This one has never let me down. Just plug in the variables, select VBR and transfer the results to the Customize Preset in the Render As menu.

You can also use the Task Manager to find the process, then right click on it and select “Affinity”. Here you can select which processor cores the program will use.

Have you tried looking with another viewer? I am not completely sure of the mechanics, but there is an orientation flag in the MMPEG header. (That’s how a viewer can “instantly” change the image orientation). It’s possible that Vegas isn’t reading this correctly.
As a workaround, just put the offending image on a separate layer below the main layer, then move the start of the “bad” image to the left slightly – hidden under the main layer.

How does it look when you open it in Photoshop?

This error means that Windows can’t open a file. Try doing a “render as” to a different name.
Also, make sure you have enough room in your TMP folder to hold a copy of the encoded file.Steve Mann
