If the PNG files are numbered sequentially, just load them into Vegas as an image sequence.

The only way this could happen is if you did a “save as” to the same filename, and I don’t think that Vegas would even allow that.
Get the free utility “mediainfo” from: https://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
What does it say about the bad mov file?Can we start over with another mov file?

[Remy Thirot] “I can’t drag it to Vegas anymore”
I still don’t follow what’s going on. What do you mean that you can’t drag the mov file? You mean that the icon is locked and won’t move?
Did you ever do a “render as” or “save as” using the same mov filename?
There’s something missing in your description of the problem because Vegas won’t do anything to your original media.

MSVCR90.dll is one of those runtime libraries that gets installed by almost every program. There are 35 copies on my editing PC – various sizes and dates. No wonder it’s a target for hacks.
However, just for grins, make sure the “close media when not active” option is unchecked, and click on the lightning icon in the project overview to remove all unused media.

Don’t worry about the sfk and sfl files. Vegas uses these for waveform and other information.
I am really puzzled about the jpg file, though. You have to intentionally make a screen grab to get the jpg file.
MOV files, are by the way, notoriously difficult to edit. Many people find it better to transcode the MOV file into something easier to edit.
But I still don’t follow what you are doing. Open Vegas then drag the mov file to the timeline. What happens?

Your workflow confuses me. What version of Vegas and where is “none”?
Did you try opening Vegas then dragging the MOV file to the timeline?
Also, to edit MOV files you need to have Quicktime installed.

My advice is to try them all. Shoot some scenes at the local park then encode them for DVD or Blu Ray and see which gives you the best results.
Since my camera only shoots 29.97i (or 25i because it will also record in PAL), I have little experience with other frame rates since I just recently bought a camera with 60p capability.

29.97 and 60p are mutually exclusive (frame rate). Your frame rate depends on what your target media is. If it’s DVD, then shoot 29.97 and avoid a lot of headaches.

1) Always shoot and edit in the highest resolution and quality that you can. Downres to the final resolution only at the last step.
2) “DVD Architect NTSC video stream” is correct. If your encoded bitrate is correct then DVDA will not re-encode it.
