What is going wrong when I burn a dvd and a notification appears saying operation failed because unknown discs errors, failed disc operation? Is it the disc drive or vegas pro?
You could try to switch the disc drive driver in "Options/Preferences/CD Settings".
Hello and thank you for your response. Right now I have the option set to - use strict red book specifications for DAO validations. What should I have selected to switch the cd drive?
Could be media, disk hardware, disk firmware or exception handling in a program.
Have you looked at the Windows Event Log for hardware related messages?
Have you created a DVD folder and attempted to burn the disc with another application?
Hello and thank you for your response. I have deleted and installed the cd drive and checked the firmware. Windows event log didn't say much what is wrong. I have a 50 - 50% chance of disc burning from Vegas, some burn some don't and tried using three different brands of DVD's. Other programs do work but they don't have the features of Vegas and takes longer to burn.

Personally, I stopped trying to burn directly from Vegas years ago. I always “burn” to an image file (.iso) and then use ImgBurn to burn the image file to a physical disc. It works like a charm.

After rendering the files in VP, I usually use DVD Arc to author (or use single movie mode) DVD, and import the folder to ImgBurn to create the <.iso>image. After burning a disc, ImgBurn even checks the disc for errors.
