[Shaun Fitzpatrick] “I am looking for the best way to rip a blu-ray to a file”
If the Blu Ray disk is not protected by HDCP, then there are many Blu Ray ripper programs online.
[Shaun Fitzpatrick] ” I want to do this all lossless, so the blu-ray image looks as good as it did on the original.”
This is practically impossible. DVDs and Blu-Ray disks contain highly compressed data. They are in a viewing format and do not edit well.

[Phil Seymour] ” I just wish they stopped mucking around with 3d”
Maybe you don’t see 3D in your market, but I have bid on two 3D projects in the past year.

Can’t select, move or edit the event. Sounds like you may have locked it.

That sure looks like a rolling shutter artifact, but you would be seeing it in your encoded file before uploading to YouTube.
YouTube re-encodes everything. Try uploading to Vimeo to compare. You could also upload to the Cow.

[Bob Mark] ” I can’t select the clip on the timeline either. I can’t delete or modify it. Weird.”
This is wrong. If it’s on the timeline you should be able to do anything you want with it – that’s the basic nature of editing.
By the way – if it’s on the timeline, it’s an event – not a clip. This is important for two reasons. First, on the timeline, an event points to the media (clip). You can have multiple events on the timeline from one clip. You can trim the event, add a bunch of F/X to the clip, and even pan-crop the event. But you never touch the media (clip). This is non-destructive editing. And you can have more events pointing to the same media with each doing something different from the other events. Second, if you search the help file for “how do I do xyz to a clip”, you won’t find anything.

You don’t “render” M2T, you encode it, notwithstanding that Vegas put the encoding processes into the “Render As” menu.
In the aggregate, using the embedded veg files would take less time. And you are only encoding the final file once.

As I said: “It won’t make any difference on the editing performance.”
In twelve years I have lost project data due to hard disk failures exactly – zero times.
I probably go through ten to twenty hard disks per year. Yes, I have had disk failures – just had one last week – but my projects are backed up daily.

[Dan Monroe] “I want to render each individual scene of the film one at a time,”
Have you considered a different approach? Embedded VEG files. Edit each scene in its own project (veg file), then your final project consists of a bunch of veg files on the timeline.

Example? We can’t comment if we can’t see the problem.
