Nesting project or Copy/Paste problem

I created 9 mini-projects - one for what was going to be each chapter in the final DVD.

I was thinking that I could simply nest these projects into one project when done and work out the chapter transistions. But nesting the projects was crashing the PC - seems some kind of rendering occurs as you nest projects (maybe I had C: chosen as some default rendor work space?).

I then tried to create a new project and copy/paste each of the mini-projects workspace into this new project. That crashed the media-manager with some kind of sql duplicate error.

Now I tried to render each mini-project to DV-AVI and put them into a new project, but a test burn of a DVD doesn't look as good as the original mini-project test burn to DVD.

I am starting to think that I need to re-do the edit work in a new project, media clip by media clip, making one large project.

Am I lost? Anything that I can do to recover this?

Would it help to clean up unused media and make sure each file is named different? Do the folders in the MEDIA BIN need different names as well?

The folders in the Media bin should be unique, but that's likely not causing your problem.
In re-reading your post....do you have the disc space to allow the proxies to render? Are you giving Vegas enough time to create the sfap0 file?
Vegas has to build proxies of all of the nested media. You should just be dragging the veg file from the Vegas explorer to your timeline, where it is treated just like any other kind of media.

here is an article that may help you a bit?
