I don't understand what other previous reviewers talking about but Vegas and DVD Architect is the best Video editing and DVD authoring environment I have come across. I have been using these applications over a 4 years now for my commercial services and I found them excellent in terms of features, ease of use and most importantly accurate results without crashes.
At first they may look dounting to learn but compare to other professional packages they are quite easy to learn if you have a basic understanding of what's video editing about and DVD authoring.

Extremely disappointed in Vegas' performance. Slow throughout (even on my dual-core 4G machine) and features thrown everywhere. It will do anything, but learning it is a time-sink.

This makes me sad... since Sonic Foundry sold Vegas to Sony nothing really new has happened to it.
Innovation has gone trought the window, altought cosmetic improvements have been made to the GUI, for the most part vegas is still the same.
Version 7 came, and for all of us who hoped Sony listened to user forums, i'm afraid to say: it didn't happened.
What's left? wait for version 8 or move to a different app.
Don't get me wrong, i enjoy working with Vegas, but performance has lagged, and there where several things that neeeded to be improved and hasn't.
My personal opinion is version 7 is not worth the upgrade if you're not using HDV.
