I agree that Macs are overpriced, but in render tests the Mac Pro running a Windows emulator blows any similar PC out of the water.

I just tried it here – opened an existing project, added a veg file to track #1, split it, added a transition. No problem.
Open the embedded veg project separately and make sure nothing is missing. Also remove all unused media from Project Media and try again.

I’m not following your workflow – nested events are treated like any other event.

DPI is a printing term and means nothing in video.

I thought everything counted from zero (but, then I am a retired programmer).
Duplicate the first, or the last frame?Steve Mann

Yes, it could be taking time to check every temporary file that the render process is creating. Try disabling it and render again.
To expand on what John said, this is an old gotcha’ in Vegas, and those of us who have been bit by this one learn to see it on the timeline. Note the thin white line at the top of the event below. As john said, this will turn a 30 minute render into a 6-hour one because every pixel in every frame needs to be rendered.
Vegasaur has an audit tool that will highlight this. I run it before every final render:

I wasn’t sure because you said: ” ATI Radeon 4600 HD, with 8 GB of RAM”, so I didn’t know if your ATI card had the RAM or your PC. How much free space do you have on the hard drive and is it your only hard drive? If you only have one hard drive then there’s a bottleneck right away. You also need 2X your project size free or a render could slow to a crawl. If your computer is overheating the CPU may be lowering the clock rate to drop the operating temperature. When did you last clean out the dust bunnies?

How much RAM and how much hard disk space do you have?
