Seems you have run into a software problem. It may be caused by anything, very difficult to know what. It doesn’t have anything to do with your graphics card, since this is not involved in this process (or most other video editing processes). Make sure you have the latest versions of all your drivers installed. Upgrading to the latest version of Vegas, which has significantly improved HD editing may also be a good idea.

Actually, this wasn’t about agreeing or disagreeing, this was about we being wrong and him being right.

[Mike Kujbida] “Therefore I don’t need to worry about it.
Let’s try this one more time”
Let me jump in with some technical information before someone gets hurt. You are both almost correct.
Most good DVD players today will read just about anything and play it, so for a good portion of the market, it doesn’t really matter. It is however possible to take a Vegas-prepared directory structure and not have it play on a DVD player. In other words, there is a right and a wrong way to burn the exact same data to a disk.
George isn’t articulating what he is trying to say very well, so I will try to do it for him.
Many older DVD players do not recognize multi-session DVDs. In other words, if you burn the VIDEO_TS folder to your DVD, and do not “finalize” the DVD, and later add the data folder, you might be in trouble. This is why a number of DVD players have problems with set-top DVD recorders. Some of these record multi-session.
If you have all the data prepared beforehand and burn it to disk in one go, and also remember to “finalize” the disk when you are done, you will not have any problems.
Note, this is the default behavior of the majority of DVD burning software out there, some of them will not even tell you that they are burning in one session and finalizing he disk afterwards. In most cases you will have to make an effort to burn multi-session, and then you probably know that a lot of DVD players will not read your disk.
[George W.] “you’re not getting the point. The files within the VIDEO_TS folder must be burned in the proper order/sequence to disc”
This is incorrect. The order with which stuff gets burned to a random-access media should never matter. It does matter whether your DVD was burned single- or multi session however. Some info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_formats

If you originally could do AC-3 files, you had DVD-A installed. You are right though, the AC-3 capability is added to Vegas by installing DVD-A. Why do you not just re-install DVD-A?

[Ron Shook] “OK, thanks! Would a 64 bit system be more efficient in processing real-time effects and compositing,
This depends. The main advantage of a 64 bit system over a 32 bit system is the ability to directly address more memory. There are some other aspects such as floating point calculations etc, that will see some improvement, but that is about it. So, if you effect uses lots of memory for rendering, or if it requires some hefty calculations, you’d see an advantage on a 64 bit system over a 32 bit system. The main advantage would be the addressable memory space, which means you’d mainly see a difference if you paired your 64 bit system with more than 4G of memory.
and without the 64 bit system would a quad core processor perform appreciably faster with Vegas than a dual core, than on the same MOBO with comparable clock speeds?”
A quad core should perform appreciably faster than a dual core whether they are 64 bit or 32 bit. The bit-size would have no real bearing on the relative speed of a quad core system and a dual core system. In other words, if your stuff is not faster on a quad core system than a dual core system, there will be absolutely no difference if you upgrade to 64 bit stuff (alone). The extra bits will have absolutely no impact on the speed at all.
If your stuff is not faster on a quad core system than a dual core system it is either because it was not written using multiple execution threads, or the threaded implementation has errors. If it was not written using threads, it should be about the same speed on a single core, dual core and a quad core system. Probably a little faster on dual and quad since other applications would be assigned to the other CPUs, leaving more time for your app.
An entirely single-threaded app is probably faster (when run alone) on a high-MHz single core CPU than on a quad core CPU.

XP Home has full support for multiple cores, but not for multiple CPUs. Home should be fine for your setup. In my house, more than one person uses the PC for various tasks. For this reason, and for a few others, I went with Pro.

There is no reason that a 64 bit version of Vegas would use your cores better than a 32 bit version. These things are not related in any way. Since Vegas runs very well on multi-core systems in other situations, this is not related to cores…
