Render to Sony AVC/AAC for PSP and anything else up to 720×480
Render to MainConcept AVC/AAC for ipod and HD.
This will give you Mpeg-4, H.264 in the AVC/AAC variant (which is what most people are using).

There’s isn’t a canned rendering template for this, but 35mbs (and other flavors) are available in the custom settings dialog.

5.6 is the certified driver for Vegas 7. This is available on the Decklink website as a general download and will be listed as “certified” soon.

Vegas can easily hop between low and high rez files of like type (.png senquences, .avi’s etc). Make a mirrored file set at a different resolution and do a “forced-relink” during a project reload to the hi-rez when cutting is done. A little housekeeping but minimal.
Q’s:
What frame rate will you be working in?
How will you be monitoring during the Vegas part of the job (HD-SDI?)
What does your lab want as a final file type for the film-out?
What lab do you plan to use for this?

3 Options for importing HVX200 files so that Vegas and just about any other app can see them can be found at:
DVfilm.com
Cineform.com
SeriousMagic.com“Native” has its advantages but EVERY app you might want to open these files in would need to support them natively (ideally using the same decoder), so a conversion tool is not a bad thing.

http://www.loganproductions.com can handle this (and will do a great job of it).

You will get best net render results with a dedicated file server and everything running on a Vegas-supported OS (ideally XP SP2 everywhere)+.
3 shared hard drives named “C” connecting HT boxes by say a 1394 network…you likely aren’t going to see much of a win for instance.
If you are running anything other than a G.e-connected array pinging a dedicated file server, you might want to stick with dual-dual core proc on single systems- Vegas 6 can take advantage of 4 threads for rendering, so it is quite possible that a single system could render FASTER than a homebrew/low cost network rendering setup because you avoid copying files around in stitch operations (stitch = everything except DV, and some other I-fame only .avi types, like Sony YUV).

3 HVX200 options (at least- there may be others) for Vegas users are available.

“I shot 24P (not 24PA) on Panasonic;s DV100 camera, cut it in a 24P project, rendered out the AVI (NTSC DV 24P where it inserts pulldown 2-3-2-3) and print to tape.”
How are you viewing the rendered output?
