DVDA is not recompressing your video – it would tell you if it were. The “disk used” information from DVDA is a long-standing joke and notoriously conservative. When I build the DVD files from Vegas, I put the MPEGs, AC3s and any extras or jacket picture into a subfolder from my project called: “DVD Files”. When I open DVDA, these are the files that go to my DVD. If the Windows Explorer says that I have less than 4.35 Gb of files in that folder, I burn the DVD regardless of warnings from DVDA.

Why don’t you burn the DVD from DVDA? Also, never, ever burn DVDs at the fastest rate available. Other than that, I got nuthin’.

You can have multiple takes on any track, but you can only see the one on top. Which is why I don’t like working with takes.
I do my rough-cuts using the multicam track, then I expand the events that need minor tweaks to finish the project. I do not go back to a multicam track after this.

What you are saying is that you have made up your mind – so why ask for help here?
You apparently do not understand memory utilization in Windows programs or you would not confuse “stability” with memory usage. The two are completely unrelated.
If you are receiving “Low Memory” warnings, they are coming from WINDOWS. Not from the running programs.

“Yes, the second problem seems to be repeatable, but in a very random fashion. No idea what causes it. Perhaps a stray brush on the keyboard, though I have no clue what keystroke it could be.”
Repeatable and random are contradictory. Can you make it happen whenever you want to demonstrate the problem? And, are you referring to takes, not tracks?

“…one of the tracks on the multitrack moves as expected and the other one stays put and extends from that point as if I was dragging it from the edge of the track”
“… get part way through editing and suddenly one of the two tracks in the multitrack simply disappears.”Do you mean “one of the takes”?
I don’t like working with takes preferring to expand the multicam track to individual tracks. I suspect that your first problem has to do with the takes being grouped.
Your second issue begs a question – is it repeatable?

“I specifically said that it should be possible to work around a low memory ceiling. The real problem is that the amount of memory specifically used by Vegas 10 can surge suddenly (and without apparent cause).
My prelimary conclusion is based on hours of tesing and observation. Nigel doesn’t use Vegas 10. I presume you don’t either. So, thanks for your contribution.”
Nigel’s signature specifically says, “Vegas 10”.
But that’s beside the point. Have you read any of the dozens of posts regarding “Low Memory”?

I have used cut/paste from my text editor into both the generated text and the credits roll tools.
If you are doing a credit roll, I recommend “Videotagger Premium”. You build your credit roll in MS Excel and it generates your credit roll in AVI format, then drag AVI to your timeline. Their latest version lets you put JPEG images into your credit roll.
