Just go to the Project Properties window and delete the menu.
To make each clip play in succession, just go to Media Properties, End Action and set the end action of the first media to be the second media. This will fix the orphaned media error. You can ignore the remote button warnings.

Are you zoomed out far enough to see individual frames? (BTW – if it’s on the timeline, it’s an event – not a clip).

Don’t move the cursor.
Seriously, you have a PC problem. My first suspect would be an interrupt conflict. Have you changed anything on the PC? Does anything other program exhibit mouse problems? what happens when you start the “render as” and don’t touch the mouse?
Try a soft-reset of Vegas: Holding Ctrl + Shift while starting Vegas will reset all preferences and delete cached data prior to loading the program. If you have recently installed new hardware (especially a new graphics card), this is necessary because Vegas may be loading settings for your old hardware.

“…even after the stabilize it says the resolution is the same .. but you can clearly see its chopped and zoomed in and losing a lot of the video”
So which is it? In the OP you said that it changed to 720, now it’s the same but zoomed in. Zooming in is the only way that stabilization can be assured of having enough pixels to keep your image size while it rotates and shifts the frames to maintain stabilized. The shakier the footage, the more it has to zoom in.

I didn’t know that you could author a DVD on TmpegEnc. I just use the DVDA templates in the Vegas “Render As” to encode my DVDA compatible MPEG file and AC3 file, then I use DVDA to author my menus and burn the DVD.

Notice that I didn’t specifically say Vegas, because I don’t have exposure to the internals of the program. But before “retirement” I spent years as a software engineer and later as a PC tech support manager. The only time we would put any file maintenance into the install program is when there was a known conflict. Which was pretty rare. Why should we when the vast base of our users never experienced any install or upgrade problems?

I never use Stabilize, but I can see how it would necessarily reduce your resolution. Stabilize routines work by taking a subset of your video frames and rotating and moving the data to match the previous frame. Since the result is never as big as the original, cropping becomes necessary, and the next standard smaller frame resolution is 720.

See my response to john List, below. Same question.

I set Vegas to a higher process priority and increased the RAM it used from 200MB to 4GB and there is no change.
You can’t force a program to use more RAM than it needs. If you are talking about the RAM preview, that is only used when you preview a selection of the timeline using Shift-B. (But experiments have shown that you should have some, but not zero preview RAM).
It sounds like Windows has more processes running than the first time you encoded your files. MANY Windows programs and codecs leave copies of themselves running in the background after their first use – to make them seem to load and run faster. MS Office and most browsers are the biggest culprits. The only way to have an apples to apples comparison is to restart Windows before each “render as”.

My thoughts are that the install of the build or version requires a deletion of that Folder.
No, it doesn’t. An install program makes sure that the required folders are present, but it doesn’t do any housekeeping. Most users just install the program once.
