I use the free program: Levelator.
It was written for podcasters, but it is like magic on dialogue files.

Can you find another Vegas user who can try to load your veg file (without media)? Or, do you have another PC that you can restart the trial on?
It really does sound like you have a bad media asset or a plug-in problem.
Have you tried making a simple project and opening Vegas with that veg file?

Burning a DVD Master requires a special burner that writes to a normally off-limits area of the mastering DVD. The last time I looked, a DVD burner that writes these masters was over $1,000.

If you do now or plan to use Adobe Aftereffects, it will like the CUDA card very well. No ATI cards need apply.
something to consider for the future.

Make sure that you’re running the latest version: 9.0(e).
And, run something like Driver Detective to make sure you have the latest video and display drivers. Strange as it sounds, many seemingly unrelated problems are solved with the proper updates of display adapter and monitor drivers.Steve Mann

I have been collecting render data for a few weeks. See if this helps:

Well, I have never used the trimmer, preferring to do all my editing on the timeline. I just click-drag the audio to wherever I want it. (You will likely need to ungroup the audio from the video before you move it, or the video will tag along).
Personally I think that the trimmer is an anachronism that comes from the film – mindset of editing that is perpetuated by the NLE programs that use the film paradigm to make the transition easier. Since I learned editing on Vegas (Version 3), I was not encumbered with the film-mode mindset, and just jumped into the timeline. But that’s just me.

Which Version of Vegas?
Use the Task Manager to see what process is hogging all the resources. (Sort on the CPU column).Steve Mann

– how faster do you think the rendering will be
Your renders will definitely be faster. No one can provide a quantitative answer to this, but going from dual-core to i7 will be substantially faster since Vegas is processor-intensive.– is it worth to use a nVidia CUDA video card? (I read that Vegas can render faster with it). Which speed factor can we get with such a video card?
Vegas Studio does use the CUDA card, but Vegas Pro does not. Perhaps the studio product is Sony’s “public beta” of CUDA??? One can hope. How much faster? Who knows. I don’t use Studio and haven’t seen any comparisons to quote.– would you recommend me to install Windows 7 in 32 bits or 64 bits ? What are the pros and cons of each from a video editing prospective?
64-bit for sure. This is the direction everything is moving toward, and I haven’t had any conflicts or problems since installing Windows 7-64 in my quad PC. Performance and memory access is improved in 64-bit. In fact, in Win 7-32 you can only address 4Gb of RAM.Microsoft cripples memory access in the less-expensive Win 7 64bit products: Starter – 2Gb, Home Bacic – 8Gb, Premium – 16Gb, and all others – 192 Gb. I wonder if Ms has ever sold a copy of Starter?

“..and this was done by someone not knowing much about post production.”
Explain, please.
