You won’t shoot in SD again after seeing the difference.

Only when you encode the file for BD. You will use the AVC template instead of the MPEG.

“Most if not all downloaded TV shows and movies are in Divx or Xvid which Vegas does not support.”
True, but the OP said the downloads have been used before. I “assume” in Vegas.

I don’t use the studio products, so take my next suggestions lightly.
NEVER let DVDA do the heavy-lifting. Always encode your MPEG and AC3 files in Vegas and just use DVDA to design your menus. If DVDA says that it needs to re-encode your video, then you did something wrong in Vegas.
In Vegas:
Render As, Save as Type: Main Concept MPEG-2
Template: DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video streamThen use [Custom] to set up your bit rate. If your video is less than 90-minutes, the defaults should be OK. Anything longer and you will need to reduce the “Average (BPS) appropriately.
Do it again to make the AC3 audio file – use the same filename as the MPG file.
In DVDA, just drag the MPG file to the root of the “Project Overview” window. Set up your menus then click on “Prepare”. This will make the video_ts and audio_ts folders that will be your DVD. I like to build these into a separate folder. Note, the audio_ts folder *will* be empty because it’s for the Audio DVD’s that never took off in the market, but you still need it because some DVD players adhere strictly to the DVD specifications, and will refuse a disk missing this folder.
After you’ve “prepared” the DVD files, (here’s why I like to put them in their own folder), use Windows Explorer to check the size of the prepared folder. If it’s less than 4.7GB, then you’re OK to burn the disc.
Hope this helps.

How did you download it?
When you say that it’s presenting at half-speed, is it really half speed where the video finishes while the audio is only half-complete, or does the video skip every other frame?Steve Mann

What is the source? Is it a camera (which one), is it a tape from a friend? Is it a screen capture?
Where are you watching the final encoded file? PC, DVD Player, iPad?
