    well, what are you putting INTO vegas? That looks like fraps footage, right?
    what format is the original footage?

    It looks like originale is 4:3, and render is 1280×720 “strech to fit..”

    well, then no wonder the render looks worse: sounds like you’re stretching SD to HD – there is no way to avoid a drop in quality.

    do you know how to keep it SD then? so it can maintain the same quality.

    In general, if you are working in an odd format like FRAPS video, you should set your project to match your source footage using the Match Media Settings button in the Project Properties. Do all of your editing and then output to a format that is equal to or less than your original footage in resolution.

    You may also unhook “Strech video to fill output frame size” when rendering.
    If you want to upload to Youtube, then use Mainconcept .mp4 1280×720 CBR 10Mbps.
    You will have black bars, but also HD quality on Youtube.

    To watch on a PC monitor, mp4 1280×720 & hook up “allow source to adjust frame size”
    CBR 10Mbps

    Watch on VCL mediaplayer.
