“Divx seems pretty well respected for creating web based footage”
Where? In the DivX community?
Just use the Sony AVC, Internet template in the “Render As” menu. Google, Vimeo and all other video hosting sites re-encode the video, so just provide them with the best quality that you can.

is this normal?
Probably.
There are a thousand (OK, just a few dozen) reasons that a render can be slow. But any F/X can make rendering slow because the render engine has to composite the F/X on each affected frame. Some F/X, such as colorizing or opacity effect every pixel on every frame and will take considerably longer to render than a video with cuts only.

Out of curiosity – what program did you install that broke the codec? Did you install the K-Lite codec pack (don’t)?

How does the footage look if you drag it to VLC player?

But, how do you burn the discs? On the Panasonic or on an internal BD writer?

If you installed K-Lite before Vegas, then you’re probably OK. I’ve seen way too many people who “fixed” their “Render As” problem by uninstalling K-Lite. Myself included.

n addition – NEVER, EVER install a Codec Pack in a Vegas editing PC. These codec packs are made for game play and quite inferior for video encoding.

But, how do you burn the discs? I never, ever burn any plastic at the maximum burn speed – it almost guarantees incompatibility. If you use the DVD burner in your PC, you can control the burn speed. I have only used a stand-alone BD Recorder in a live TV studio, and all you can control there is select SP, LP and EP, just like the older VHS recorders. As with the VHS recorders, use EP at your own risk.
Also, it’s quite likely that the components in the Panasonic recorder are made by another company. When I said that it may be a more strict adherence to the BD spec, realize that the BD spec has no provision for burned discs.
Will the player play discs recorded on it? I doubt that Panasonic will be interested in your issue if it does.

It may not be a “retrograde step”, but a tightening of the specs. How are you writing the DB disc?
