The frame is still 720 x 480. Pixel aspect ratio accounts for the difference. No, submitting a PAL frame size won’t give you a widescreen view. PAR of 1.2 for NTSC widescreen is what you’ll want. It’s easy to set up in Vegas…Just start with a widescreen project, drop in media, and if you must modify anything, use pan/crop to bring the existing image to size. You *may* lose resolution in the process.

You should be able to go through Tools | Burn Disc | Blu-ray disc template and burn a DVD that will play on PS3 and *most* Blu-ray compatible DVD players.

Either:
Download the Sony trial for VMS 8
or
Download a free MJPEG codec reader from numerous websites. The Vegas FAQ lists a couple, but there are several.

Neither. It’s completely unrelated. You’re suggesting you couldn’t see interlace flicker there before, but you see it now? If so, your Vegas settings changed in the midst of all the other changes you’ve made. Interlaced media will flicker/alias on a progressive display. All computer monitors are progressive.
You can tell Vegas to deinterlace the preview if you wish.

This is a good reason to upgrade to 8, Version 8 includes an MJPEG reader. Try the demo.
