Could also be that while you were slideing the clips around on the timeline you had the “ignore event grouping” button active. The result would be that your video and audio would be unlocked relative to each other, hence slipping the audio and video out of sync.

The picture would look better at the higher 640 X 480 resolution, however there are other concerns with doing it at that size. The smaller the resolution the faster the end user can view it, download it.
Perhaps others that do a lot of web stuff could advise you further.

[John Magee] “#1 I render a 10 second clip off the timeline, to “Windows avi”, uncompressed, and it’s 400 megabytes. What’s that about?”
Uncompressed video makes huge files. That is why we use codecs to compress the files to smaller sizes. DV for example is a compressed file. AVI is simply a wrapper. AVI’s can be uncompressed (huge file) or compressed DV for example (way smaller file).
[John Magee] “#2 I want to render a file off the timeline for later conversion to .mov (with quicktime pro) or maybe later, to flash. Isn’t the “windows avi” uncompressed what I should use? Or is it the NTSC DV?”
How about just rendering from the timeline to the format that you need. Vegas will render to many formats and codecs.
Tip – If you are using the the pro version of Vegas (not studio version) you can use the batch render script to render your timeline out to several formats unattended.

You get that effect by reducing your frame rate.
Normal NTSC DV framerate is 29.97 frames per second.
By reducing your framerate you get a choppy look.
The lower the framerate the more choppy it becomes.Right click on your clip and select properties.
Look for undersample rate box. This is where you can set you framerate
for the clip (event).Regards, Rick.

Are you out of hard drive space on your capture drive?

[ClaudeJones] “When not playing the timeline I get a nice clean picture on the JVC monitor. As soon as I start to play, the picture regularly breaks up and the entire screen then turns green every few seconds.”
When not playing the timeline what “nice clean picture” do you see?
You should have no other firewire devices plugged in and no analog source plugged into Pyro-box while playing your timeline. This keeps Pyro from becoming confused.
Your project settings should be DV NTSC (interlaced).
Now, I hate to be a doom and gloomer but my first DV Interface was the Pyro and it never worked correctly for me.
I had the same issue you are having. Tech support sent me another unit, it had the same problem. I tried everything.
Then sent the unit back for a refund and purchased a Datavideo unit. It worked great out of the the box and has given me good results for about 4 years.Good luck, Rick.

[lance herring] “and it can render to a computer on the network pulling the project’s media from a local or network drive. But… I’ve discovered that it can’t capture and write video data to a network drive or server without constantly dropping frames.”
What is the speed of your network?
Are you using a switch or router?Regards, Rick.

The scope in Vegas can be set to different configurations.
Look in the Vegas help file for an explination of the scope
settings. How you set them depends on several variables such as your hardware and codec used.Regards, Rick.
