I think I know what’s happening here.
Click on the lightning bolt icon on the Project Media window. This removes all media from the project that isn’t on your timeline. I’ll bet you have some old media referenced there.

Am I overlooking the obvious here? I don’t use a DSLR for video work, but if I recall, the camera shoots 2Gb files (NTFS). Is this what the OP is dragging into the Vegas timeline? Isn’t there a program that came with the camera to combine those short clips into one video file for editing?
As I said, I don’t shoot video with a DSLR, but just wondering if this is the case here?

This shouldn’t happen. Are you resizing the image in Vegas or is it alreadt properly sized in the JPEG file?

There isn’t because the GPU isn’t used for MPEG encoding.
You should also turn off GPU support in Options/Preferences/Video Tab.Also make sure that you have sufficient room on your TMP folder.
Last, try using a new name for the file in case Windows has locked the original name up.

Separate tracks is my preferred mode, but that’s just my workflow.
First, any media on the timeline is an EVENT – not a clip. Search the manual for “clip” and you will be disappointed.
Right click on any audio event, select “Channels”, then select “Channels 1/2”.
To prevent this in the future, go to Options/Preferences/General and uncheck the item: “Import stereo as dual mono”

Priority of specs? Processor speed. Nothing else has as much effect on Vegas performance as processor speed.
If you are only concerned with rough edits in the field, and you don’t care about real-time preview or render times on the laptop, then an i5 is sufficient.
Dave said: “Personally, I would never go with integrated graphics processing”. I agree, but integrated graphics is graphic capability integrated into the processor chipset. Only the cheap laptops and notebooks use integrated graphics. Most laptops have a discrete graphics adapter plugged into the motherboard. If you have a choice, I prefer nVidia over ATI, but only because of a personal history of past problems with ATI drivers.
But, Dave, in a month or so Intel will be releasing a new family of 22nm i7 processors that will have integrated graphics that support the OpenFX protocol. Intel claims that this will make 3rd party GPU cards obsolete. (We’ve heard that before).

I haven’t really thought of it, mostly because I don’t do any animation. If I did, I would probably make the project settings match the animation media.
Typically my work is shot in 1080i and my project settings are set to match the media. When I go to make a DVD or Blu Ray disk, I encode in progressive.Steve Mann

I am no expert in scripting (not available in movie Studio), but I’ve asked for a similar script and was told that Vegas can’t read the levels from audio events.
If you find something that will do this, please let me know.

I agree with Nigel, the preview glitching when the processor is heavily loaded should not make it into the final MPEG file.
more RAM *may* help, but I always recommend loading your motherboard with the maximum amount of RAM that it will hold.
