This is a long shot, but the next time part of the dialog window disappears, open the task manager, click on the Processes tab, then sort on the GDI Objects column. While Windows has an absolute limit of 10,000 GDI’s, realize that many programs consume many hundreds of GDI objects, and it’s not unusual to have more than a hundred processes running at any time. (Every icon, pointer, checkbox, window, image – everything graphic needs a GDI).
As I said, this is a long shot. I have only seen a single case of running out of GDI’s and that was a programming error.

Go to the Videoguys website and look for their DIY specs.

If you export an EDL (tools, scripting) then look at it with a text editor like Notepad, you can get an idea where the project is using the file.

[mark thompson] “ut after a review of the web site it does not appear obvious that “everywhere” does data recovery.”
I never said it did recovery. I said that if the file exists, it will find it.

An embedded veg file is when there is a veg file on the timeline. This is really handy if, for example, you have the same opening sequence for all your videos. You just make the opening once and save it as a Vegas project (veg file). Whenever you need that opening sequence, you just drop the veg file on your timeline.
Vegas will look for all files in all veg files in your project.
Vegas is looking for a file because it *is* somewhere in your project.
NOTE – this icon removes the unused media from the currently open veg file. IT DOES NOT remove unused media from embedded veg files.

Vegas is looking for the file because it is used somewhere in the project. Are you using embedded veg files?

520 Milligrams? That’s a big pill…..
It looks like your source file is a 500KB MP4 file, right?
To make a DVD it has to be re-encoded to an MPEG2 file. The size of any encoded file is entirely dependent on the bit-rate you told the encoder to use. If you used the DVDA template in Vegas to encode the file, the default parameters should be fine to fit up to 80-minutes of video on a 4.7GB DVD.Of course, if you want the best quality, don’t do a re-encode. Just encode for DVD in Vegas from your project timeline using the DVDA template in the “Render As” menu. Don’t forget to make the .AC3 file for the audio.

Is your missing folder on a separate drive?
Download Everything. Really, that’s the name of the program – “Everything”.
It’s free and I use it almost exclusive of Windows Explorer because it’s just so darned fast.The program name kind of reminds me of a neighbor with a dog named “Dammit”. When he takes the dog for a walk, it’s “Here, Dammit!” and “Get the ball, Dammit”.
His cat’s name was “What”.
But I digress. Here is where you can download everything. Use it to search for any file or folder in your missing folder. If it exists, Everything will find it. Even in the trash folder.

Brad – as John says, Vegas thrives on more cores, and you will definitely see faster performance on your proposed system. I know that I did when going from a quad-core AMD system to an i7 Intel platform. Just make sure you have minimum of 2GB of RAM for each core. (HD preview still sucks, though).
If you plan to run Photoshop or After Effects, then you want to use the nVidia Quadro line of GPU. Adobe products are optimized for CUDA cores.
I just recently found out that the GeForce line is targeted at gamers and the Quadro line is designed for the graphics workstations.
Personally, and this is just a personal preference – I have never had good luck with Radeon cards. Specifically the drivers.

FileIOSurrogate.exe is a Windows Component installed by Vegas.
Try running “sfc /scannow” in a CMD window (without the quotes).
