[Malcolm Matusky] “Yes, I was dumb, installed the codec pac and the “player” which changed all my clip ikons, strange. I uninstalled the player and codec pac and things are still weird.”
Yo have to reinstall Vegas to replace the bad codecs. Uninstall does not remove codecs.

[Malcolm Matusky] “I went back to an earlier “restore point” and windows could not complete the restore, some cryptic error message, naturally zero help.”
This usually means that a system update is incomplete, or it is too far in the past and other updates since then are incompatible with that restore point.
If you go to the Control Panel, Programs and sort on the install date, look for something that installed about the time that the crashes started.

Log on to your Sony account and look for their response there. I don’t recall the URL, but you should have gotten the instructions when you posted the support request.
The offer is still there if you can put together a project under 2GB and let us have a go at it.

[Stephen Crye] ” Broadcast TV still uses this”
That’s because there are still an awful lot of working raster-scan TV sets out there. OTA has to accommodate the lowest common denominator.
[Stephen Crye] “If my footage is 60i, and my target media is 60i, why would I not set Vegas to “none” in de-interlace? Just not mess with it and send it to my Samsung TV in full glorious interlaced format?”
In most cases your TV will do a better job of deinterlacing in the hardware.

The best way is a monitor with Firewire input, but I’ve never seen one. I know they exist. Alternately, connect your Camcorder Firewire input to your PC’s Firewire port, then connect the camcorder to the TV with component or, if you have it, HDMI.

[Matt Whittemore] ” Every clip ends with a frame or two from the following clip. Does anyone have any idea why this happens and how to keep it from happening?”
Is he using the Vegas capture utility? I use HDVSplit (it’s free) and haven’t ever seen this.
By the way – if it’s on the timeline, it’s an Event, not a Clip.

[Frank Stevn] “Any ideas on how to preview DV output?”
Open the “Video Preview” window???
You have to elaborate your question a bit.

[Steve Rhoden] “I cant figure out what you mean.”
Andy means “Events”.
Andy – all media on the timeline are “Events”, not “Clips”.
