If you use “Smart Preview” the preview will stop during capture. I always work this way, and use the camera or deck for preview purposes.
This way you will avoid seeing the over-bright picture, and free up some resources which may help the dropped frames situation.

I don’t know how you made your transitions, but for a crossfade, you need to drag two clips so that they overlap – that’s all. The amount of the overlap will be the duration of the transition. If there is no overlap, there is nothing to crossfade to/from.

This is not true – if Device Control is enabled then Vegas will look for a tape, but once this is unchecked a camera can be used as pass through for an analogue source.

Sounds like you don’t have Synch Cursor enabled – the bottom left icon with the padlock.

I’ve heard a few bad things about Dazzle. I think a better way to go is an Analogue/Digital converter, which has analogue in/outs and firewire – ADS do one, as does Canopus – but only when you are sure that your camnera won’t do pass through.

You haven’t said much about what you have tried so far. It’s definitely possible, provided your camera has pass through ability, which most do. Some need a menu setting to allow AV in – DV out, and in Vegas you need to disabe Device Control in Capture preferences, otherwise Vegas will expect there to be a tape in the DV camera to capture from.

No splitting is necessary – the sudden drop to 50% is done by putting a vertical step down from 100% to 50% – double click to insert pivot points which can then be dragged. To slowly return to full speed, add a pivot at 50% then further along another pivot which should be dragged up to 100%. The time between points, in other words the gradient of the slope, will determine how quickly the rate changes.

There’s a preference – towards the bottom of General Prefs – “Show video event edge in Video Preview window during edits”” – is this checked?

You could render them both into a new avi.

You didn’t say which version of DVDA. I remember a similar problem with DVDA1 which was solved by a later build/update.
