The article Great Titles with the DV Codec may be of some help.

A camcorder with pass-through can also be used. A lot of folks have picked up second-hand ones on Ebay. If it needs repair (i.e. tape mechanism doesn’t work), then it’s even cheaper. As long as it does pass-through, that’s all that’s needed.

One other suggestion (and it’s dependent on the desired quality), is to render the file out of Vegas at 352×480 or 353×240 frame sizes. Both of these are acceptable sizes for DVDA and the resulting files will be smaller. I’m not sure how much but a quick test render should give you an idea.

Unless you spend a LOT of money, LCDs are not good enough for doing accurate colour correction.
My personal recommendation (that several folks have taken & been pleased with) is to buy a JVC TMH-150CGU.
For $500 at B&H, you get a high resolution 15″ monitor that has all the features you need such as blue gun only, underscan, switchable 4:3/16:9, NTSC/PAL, etc.
You’ll also need to learn how to use colour bars. Vegas has this test pattern in Media Generators – Test Pattern – SMPTE Bars (NTSC or PAL).
Color Bars and How To Use ’em is an excellent article on doing this.

I’m able to resize now but only in one dimension.

Make sure you don’t have one of the “Prevent Scaling (X)or(Y)” boxes selected.

Should Lock Aspect be on or off?

On so that it’ll scale equally (i.e. correct aspect ratio).

I’ve never seen that message come up and a Sony Vegas knowledge base search didn’t turn up anything.
What do you mean by “using composit method”?

I know that it works with Vegas 6. I had a student last fall that had one of these camcorders and the footage transferred in just fine. Looked fairly decent too 🙂

It’s not a card but the SD-Connect has gotten very good reviews from other Vegas users.

February 23, 2006 at 12:06 am in reply to: Converting VOB files to Vegas

In Vegas 4, 5 or 6:
Import Media – select “All Files *.*” in the “Files of type” box so that it will see the VOBs. If you have 6.0c, it will import the audio as well. Otherwise, you’ll have to get an AC3 extractor. I use AC3DEC from https://www.users.on.net/~rsobon/ac3dec.html but https://www.videohelp.com/ has a list of others as well.

Good question Doug. My (strictly personal) feeling is sure, why not. After all, they are two separate programs – or are they? You can buy Vegas w/o DVDA but you can’t buy DVDA w/o Vegas. Now I’m confused 🙂
