Create a Playlist.
Drag the 3 files onto the project overview window on the left, then right-click on the menu and choose Insert Playlist, then select all.
This creates one button that plays all (or selected) media in sequence.

I assume that you are using 3D Track Motion to build the cube. Turn off Lock Aspect Ratio on the Track Motion toolbar and you can drag or type in whatever dimensions you want.

While there ARE programs that will combine Mpeg2 files without recompression, Vegas is not one of them. NO program will avoid recompression if you make any changes to the material besides cuts.
The most economical storage for DV continues to be to keep your tapes and recapture, which you can easily do if you keep your .veg files.

Many folks have come to Vegas from Premiere.
In once sense, you’d be better off if you had no experience with another NLE, because to have to unlearn some of the ways of thinking you use with Premiere/FCP/Liquid/etc.
On the other hand, once it starts to click for you, you can see how many things are just so much quicker and easier in Vegas.
I am curious about your own story about deciding to make the switch.

Funny about the CD player 🙂
I would think that stage productions would be one of the more noticable types of videos that would show the differences in compression rates because of lighing contrast and large areas of one color (curtain, etc).
If 5Mbps works for you, that’s great, but would caution others reading this that anything below the 6 – 6.5 range might be an unacceptable compromise unless it’s really evenly lit with very little action taking place.
Bottom line is that you want to get it as close to 8Mbps as you can and still fit it on the disc. In certain cases, I split shows into two discs to allow for less compression.

Generally speaking, AVI is less compressed than Mpeg, therefore will look better. The most important question is: what is your destination format? Are you going to tape? DVD? Web?

[Steve Mann] “both were connected to a Firewire hub”
Steve, can you point us to a source or brand/model number for one of those?

[Ted Snow] “if a person has an NTSC VCR tape and wanted to send it to Germany to be viewed on a PAL system, can one capture the VCR tape into Vegas and render it as PAL?”
Yes, but you would need a PAL VCR to print to tape.

You will loose quality because you are using an Mpeg2 to generate another Mpeg2.
