Go back through your process to determine where/what went wrong.

Look at your source.... shaky?
Look at it in VEGAS... shaky?
Look at your rendered files... shaky?
Look at your DVDA... shaky?

Find out which process made it 'shaky' then take a look at your settings at that stage. This is how you will find the culprit.

Something to try on a short clip from your project. Pick a section of the project that contains stills. Then create a small test DVD from this (use a DVD-RW, if your player can read that). When it comes time to render the video into an MPEG file, do this in Vegas. Go to Render As, select MPEG2, the DVD Architect template, but then do this:

1. Select the Custom button in the Render As dialog box.
2. On the Project tab (which should be selected when the dialog opens), change video rendering quality from Good to Best.

Go ahead and render the project and see if it is better.

Normally Good is what you want to use, but Best uses different rendering algorithms that are optimized for things like still pictures. The terms Good and Best are somewhat unfortunate, because Best usually makes no improvement for moving video, and needlessly slows the render (yes, your render will be slower).

Perhaps thats the problem. I have rendered as a AVI file. I could find no instruction as to which one is better. Should I render as a MPEG?

Color me slow, but whats DVDA? The only reference I have to that term is from a movie called Orgazmo, and I don't think thats what your talking about.
