Yes, definitely check your white level- you can do this using scopes in Vegas. Also, try applying the Computer to Studio RGB if you are intending on watching this on a TV as opposed to a computer screen.
It sounds like you have exceeded the acceptable white level and entered into superwhites, which can cause problems when viewing.

It sounds like you are running out of system memory. Also, what version of QT do you have? You may want to see if you can find any errors being reported with Vegas with the version of quicktime you have.
If you drop them on the timeline say 10 at a time, does it do the same then? If not, try this route instead of dumping all 300 at a time.
How much memory do you have and what type of a system are you running Vegas on?

At any point where you have edited you are going to lose quality as it has to render the file over again- this means fx and crossfades and jump cuts as well.
The i stands for interlaced and you should be able to choose this in your settings when you go to render.

Are you able to do a system restore before your power flickered? This may solver your problem. Another solution would be to reinstall Vegas. If it is a hardware issue (damage to disk) then you may start seeing other issues crop up.

I don’t have a clue on how to fix it. As you know, Vegas is not supported under Windows 7 at this time. Once it is, I am sure the issue will be addressed, but currently you are working with unsupported host software and that my friend is one of the casualties of being cutting edge 🙂
I’m sure that’s not the answer you want to hear. On the other hand, can you utilize another method: use the zoom wheel to zoom in and then use the arrow keys to step through the frames one at a time?

Tape: I have carried tape through the airport multiple multiple times without issue.
Laptop: I have a laptop with 1.5gigs, vista home premium and 160 gigs of 5400rpm drive space. I have captured straight to it in HDV via Vegas capture without issue or hiccup. It is a core duo and I got it off dealnews.com from Bestbuy for 300USD. It is about a cheap as you can get and still be a laptop 🙂 and it worked perfectly for capture.
Now, I would not edit on it for anything as it succumbs to lag quite often.
Output: Depends on what your client is looking for- I would be asking him/her if she wants 24p, 29.97fps, widescreen DV, 4:3, or HD 1080i/p. Once you know if they want standard def or high def, then see if they want it to be 24p or 29.97.

I think a quick fix would just be to do a system restore before you installed the plugin for firefox. It sounds like the quicktime pro registry became corrupt, but if Vp9 can still see it… well, that throws a wrench into the equation 🙂
Just restore it to a time before the plugin update.

To ungroup the old audio from the video file click the audio file and press the U key. This will ungroup the audio from the video-then you can delete the old audio file.
To make cuts press the S key. This will Split the track event in two. If you click the timeline in the gray area below the video and audio track(s) and click S it will split both the audio and video and any other events on the timeline where your cursor is. If you click on just the audio or video (or shift click them to highlight both (or more)) then press S you will split just the selected event.
Let us know if we can help you further.

Here is what I based my build off of and am using today as my main editor. It works very well with Vegas but I could stand to add some more ram (I am currently using 8 gigs of ram when I should have around 16 gigs).
The system can handle previews fine but like with any other system running Vegas them more fx you add, the more your preview suffers. Also be aware that some codecs cannot make use of more than one thread so if you are running 8 cores, you may still only see one core getting used for rendering.
My advice would be wait until the scarlet is released and see if Vegas supports it at some point and then build a system that you can afford that will do what you need. Don’t build in advance as you will get a better system for the money later that will be built on what you know, not what you assume.

What are you watching the DVD on?
If your pc make sure you are not allowing for overlays provided by your graphic card software. nVidia I know has overlays that I turn off for video due to this very reason. Try watching it on a set top box on your tv.
If this is occurring on your TV you will want to make sure your computer monitor is calibrated as what looks normal on your PC may not be what is normal at all on TVs. You may also want to ensure your tv is properly calibrated too.
