Try turning off Quantize to Frames and move just the audio event. Then then Quantize back on.

That’s the way I am doing it now, but my original question was how do I unmute a track in Sound forge? It appears that if you mute a track in Sound Forge – it’s deleted.

I’ve never heard of VCHD – are you sure it isn’t AVCHD? If it is then Vegas should handle it fine.

Since few of us have ever seen 4K media, you may not get specific answers. But your laptop is probably OK, but I would recommend that you use a Proxy file for editing. From the Vegas Help:
1. Capture or import your high-definition clips.
2. Start a new project.
3. Add your high-definition clips to the Project Media window.
4. Right-click the clips in the Project Media window and choose Create Video Proxy from the shortcut menu.
5. Vegas Pro creates video proxy files (.sfvp0) alongside the original files in Windows Explorer. You will not see these files in the Project Media window or Vegas Pro Explorer.
6. Add your high-definition clips to the timeline and edit your project as usual.
7. The Preview Quality setting in the Video Preview window determines whether the proxy files or original files are used for editing and preview:When the preview quality is set to Draft or Preview, the proxy file is used.
When the preview quality is set to Good or Best, the original file is used.Steve Mann

I just tried an experiment of compressing or expanding an embedded veg file and the audio does shrink or expand with the video, but when shrinking, there is a lot of data to be discarded so the resulting audio may not sound so good. I don’t know how far (%) I was going but it was about +- 25%.
One thing I’ve noticed in filming professional musicians is that they never play (or sing) the same way twice.

I’m pretty sure that the audio doesn’t have a region code in the metadata like video does. Besides, in the OP, he said that he had audio but no video until he upgraded QuickTime, and now he has video and no audio.
Chloe – can you play the MP4 file in Quicktime?

Your missing the point. I am using the Noise Reducer in Sound Forge. Levelator is earlier in the process and it brings the noise up along with leveling the rest of the audio. Sound Forge noise reducer does a great job on the air conditioning noise after Levelator brought it up, but I have to do it twice (once for each channel) because there’s apparently no way to temporarily mute a track in Sound Forge.

If you are making a DVD then use the DVD Architect NTSC template. The “Program Stream” is the file you would sent to a streaming server, which very few of us have access to. Using anything other than the DVD Architect templates for making DVD’s using DVD Architect is asking for problems.
There is no “higher quality MPG2 for making DVDs”. In the US, a DVD is MPEG2 encoding, 29.97 frames per second interlaced, 720 × 480 pixels (SD) and 704 × 480 pixels for widescreen. There are no other formats in the DVD spec.

I am aware that Sound Forge is a destructive editor, unlike Sony Vegas. Possibly the twain shall never meet. I was trying to apply noise reduction to just one channel of a stereo track, so I selected the unwanted channel, went to “Process” then “Mute”. If there’s a better way, I’m completely open. I then started over and repeated the process for the other channel. Since the source of the noise was closer to the microphone on channel one than channel two, I wanted to handle them separately.
