Thanks for the detailed reply and further equipment recommendation! The Blackmagicdesign Intensity Pro HDMI and Analog Editing Card PCIe version would be $170.99 if bought off Amazon in new condition, $127.53 if bought used off of eBay. The PCIe version has higher bandwidth than the USB 3.0 version (albeit less portable).

It would be a good idea to buy it if I wanted to avoid something else I just thought of, which is the bandwidth cap of 4-conductor FireWire 400, but then again, the analog bandwidth cap of RCA stereo cables and S-video will be there regardless of the digital cap; FireWire probably has enough bandwidth to pass the signals through.

I’m probably going to buy the TRV320 regardless of the digital output–I have to have something to play the tapes in stereo after all. I have a DVD player with analog inputs to test that signal, but to test the FireWire quality, I’m going to have to gamble a whopping five bucks on a 4-conductor FireWire card ;). If the quality is inferior to the analog test (e.g. electronic noise, video artifacts or compression), the Intensity Pro is again worth of consideration. Plus, I can always resell the BINTSPRO (as it’s known in the second-hand underworld) after I’m done with the transfer job, or use it to capture vintage gaming console footage.

I’m using H.264 and I have the fps set to 24. I’m using still jpeg images with motion position translations on them, so it pans across the images and titles. I’m still getting ghosting. I don’t understand why progressive scan would have anything to do with it. Are there any render settings I can change? How do I change the whole project over to a single frame rate?

Anyone know how to do set up a constant linear pan in Vegas? All I want to do is go from crop A to crop B evenly. Anyone know how to set up a canvas or whatever so it stays at a constant resolution regardless of the footage you put in there? Anyone know how to export to H.264 in an .avi container with AC3 384Kbps audio? Anyone know of a discussion site that is more active in this particular subject than CC or the official registration-required Sony forum (I have a 30 day trial version).
P.S. bump.
