As I said, the watermark is from using a demo version of the codec. Reinstall Vegas and you should have the licensed version that had no watermark.

I’ve never seen a Mainconcept watermark, so I can’t help there, except that the demo versions of Mainconcept have the watermark. Did you install a codec pack and overwrite the licensed the version that came with Vegas?
The veg file is not the media – it is only a pointer to the media and any editing instructions from the timeline. If you right-click on the event on the timeline then on properties, media, you will see where the media is located.

Embedded veg files.
” I thought it would be much more easier to render deferent scenes from the locations and put this all together after with the same properties of course ”
Do everything but the render. Save each of these different scenes in their own veg file, then in a master project, just drop these veg files on your timeline, then encode once. Vegas treats embedded veg files just like any other event.
I can’t find any reference to embedded veg files in the manual, but it is a huge timesaver here.

Wow, Roger – that’s a gem of a tip that I will definitely use in the future.

I’ve noticed that “Hollywood” releases are putting as much as 2+ hours of media on one DVD including the main feature, commentaries and previews. Could they be compromising quality to make BD look even better?
As a side note, I read in a pro video magazine, I think it was an article in “Post” by Jay Rose, that it can take days to encode the MPEG file for a feature movie on a renderfarm. I should have saved the article…

Why?
Seriously, why do you need to render then re-render your footage? Tell us what you want to accomplish and we may be able to recommend a more efficient workflow.

[John Rofrano] “Yes, you can fit about 120 minutes into a DVD with the default settings in Vegas Pro”
With my typical material, stage productions, it’s more like 90-minutes. Any more and I have to drop the bitrate.

Don’t use the same folder.
I structure my projects this way:
../ProjectName (At this level I put the veg files, images, and other files needed to edit the project)
…./Capture (Raw camera files go here)
…./DVD Files (MP2 and AC3 files plus any other assets for the DVD go here)
……/DVD (This is where I tell DVDA to send the Prepare files)Steve Mann

Once Pluraleyes has finished, the markers and Pluraleyes folder are just clutter. Delete them.
I am unaware of any way to “mark” an event with text, but you can show the active take name in the event on the timeline and edit the take name in event properties.
That would be cool for Sony to add the take name to the Event F/X plugins.

I don’t use the Vegas explorer, bit it sure looks like what I get when I try to edit a text document and I don’t have the font installed that the document wants.
What happens if you go to the icon view?
