Project Properties Compression
This setting needs to be set to 100% every time I open VS9 or VS10. Is there a way to set this as default through the registry or some ini file?

My answer won't help. But I suppose I have to ask why you think you need to always set it to 100%. That quality/speed slider normally sets 70% or 80% as the default. What it is supposed to represent is Video Studio's assessment of your computer resources at the time of installation, and it is really a balance between a high quality video output in a reasonable time based on what your computer can do.
Raising it to 100% means in effect that, yes, you are asking the computer to squeeze a little more quality out of your project but increasing the time it takes to do so significantly. And I personally am not at all convinced that the increase in quality will be visible to your naked eye, or the eyes of any other observer.
In some cases, depending on whether your computer is not particularly powerful or not, pushing the slider to 100% may even cause the computer to hang or crash.
I personally am a Virgo and a nitpicking perfectionist by nature. But I leave the quality slider where it sits by default at 80% and I have never been disappointed with the quality of the finished DVD!!

I'm only following the RECOMMENDED PrROCEDURE ...
4. Select Menu FILE/Project Properties. Click [Edit.] Open the Compression tab and select Media Type = [NTSC DVD] (or PAL DVD if you live in PAL country).
5. Move the Quality Slider to 100. Set Data Rate to [Variable.] The Bit rate and Audio settings will already be set properly to match your captured video. Press OK. Check [Perform Non-Square Pixel Rendering.] Print the Project Properties in the lower window and stick it on your wall. Memorize it.
