Vedas are theistic, and believe in God, while actual Buddhism is anti theistic, and obviously non theistic.
2. Vedas believe that life is something to live, not to waste. So, every Vedic follower prays for at least a "hundred autumns" life span. (sharadaH shatam)
Vedas believe in action. Therefore, Veda supports Rishis, the sage philosophers, who actively participate in the wordly matters.
Buddhism, on the other hand, believes in passiveness. It thinks that life is a trap of action and relations. So, it renounces actions, and relationships, instead chooses sannyasa (asceticism) as the path.
In Vedas, asceticism is frowned upon. Passiveness is not tolerated. Yajur Veda 40 says :
"One, doing actions, should wish to live a hundred years".
Vedas believe that each single second is valuable for us, to enjoy in this world, and therefore enjoy to our desires. But Veda also sets the limit : "All this is encompassed by the God, with this renunciation in mind, enjoy... And do not desire other's materials"
This "enjoyment" with moral limits is a great idea to modern world.
But Buddhists believe that desire is the cause of all sufferings. Man is not destined to enjoy in this world... and is pessimistic.
3. Veda does not believe in Karma theory, or rebirths, or any sort of superstitions.
But Buddhists do. And also the post Buddha Hindus do.
4. Vedas are panentheistic basically. A sort of pantheism may also be imposed, though the former is the correct one.
But Buddhists are non theistic, but unnecessarily believe in existence of non theistic devas and other cosmic souls, who, but can't help you in any way. (Remember the famous quote : "No Buddha can save a Buddha")
This is a superstition, but Buddha claimed his religion to be more rational. (Though it was actually rational than ritualist religion of Srautins)
The Buddhist scriptures usually mock devas, and become more of anti theistic than non theistic.
Many other apparent differences are the result of Buddha's wrong interpretations of Vedas, similar to the then Srautins.
5. Vedic philosophy does not involve unexplainable things like afterlife or other things. It is seemingly simple. But Buddhists have a complex philosophy rooted on various unprovable ideas, like the later Hinduism.
Many later Hindu texts resemble Buddha's teachings in core, and are in fact, opposed to the actual Vedic teachings.
