I *may* have loaded a demo of Boris sometime in the past – I really don’t recall – but, that would explain the demo expired error.
FWIW – The quality and promptness of support from Boris, both pre- and post-sale went a long way in favor of making the purchase decision.

First, I just got off the phone with Tyler and I bought BCC for Vegas. Another more interesting error popped up later. Just hours after installing the demo version, I received a “Demo Expired” message.
My editing PC and its’ ATI card are more than three-years old, so it’s likely that both will be replaced soon.
Thanks for the quick reply.

As Scotty is drinking the alien under the table, the alien asks:
“What is it?”
Scotty replies:
“I don’t know. but it’s green”.I just did a greenscreen shot last week where the talent is talking about his book. And he holds the book up in front of him. And the title is in large green text.
Now I see the background through the title of the book.
The solution was to create a small green rectangle between my subject and the background. I Used event pan/crop and keyframes to keep the green rectangle behind the book.
Here’s how I did it:

I’ve never made a dual layer DVD, so I won’t be much help here.
OTOH, 1:40 is not too big for a single layer DVD – why not use that?

Generally, if your timeline is not complex (mostly effects and compositing) then a reasonably fast PC should preview without Ram Preview.

If I recall, when in loop mode, Dynamic Ram Preview is used by default.

You want faster rendering, get a faster processor.
That’s easy to say, and it’s true, but your processor is exactly what I have and it works fine, even with HDV.
That’s an awfully high bitrate for YouTube.
In general – the default settings in Vegas need very little adjustment.
Also, I have not found lots of tracks to slow the render or encode time. Effects and compositing will always take more time to render. If you do something that effects the whole event on the timeline, like a lower-thirds on the whole video, then you will be rendering *every* frame of the video. If you REALLY want to run slow, like if you’re paid by the hour, set the opacity to 99%. You won’t see the difference, but every pixel of every frame will have to be processed – ant that will take a really long time.Here’s what I use:
Start with the AVCHD 1920×1080, 60i profile.
Change the bitrate to 3,000,000
Save it with a unique name – Mine is “YouTube – AVCHD 1920×1080, 60i profile”https://www.mmdv.com/sonyvegas/you_tube_profile.jpg

From my last post:
“and the maximum allowed size for any one instance of pagefile.sys on a machine is limited to 4GB.”
I am wondering if it isn’t time to start over with a fresh install of Windows and Vegas. It sounds like you have been chasing a fly with a shotgun. Who knows what carnage that you have on your PC.
