Just what is it that you are trying to accomplish?
A DV AVI file is 13.8 Gb/hour. The disk requirements don’t change with different shooting modes because the AVI compression in the camera puts out DV at 13.8 Gb per hour.
So what am I missing in your question?

Low-cost LCD monitors will not match the color gamut of a CRT. In an LCD display, white depends on the backlight, the contrast depends on the viewing angle, and black is an illusion. On top of that, you can’t calibrate an LCD.
Sony makes a studio-quality LCD monitor, but it costs $6,000.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that the manufacturers of glass (picture tubes) are going out of business as the world turns more toward LCD and plazma displays.

Yes. Prepare converts all the assets (video, audio, menus, etc) into the video_ts directory and files.

Put your two videos on separate tracks and play with “Pan-Crop” for each of the events.

I am not speaking from first-hand iformation, but other threads today have indicated that the B&H Vegas 6 package is Vegas only – not Vegas+DVDA.
I don’t know if this complicates your upgrade plans…

Vegas is a non-destructive editor. The original media is not altered with editing as in other NLE programs. When you render, you are creating a new output file according to the instructions in the VEG file.
If you backup your VEG file from time to time to a new name, you will have “restore points”. (I use this feature in Excalibur all the time). This means that you can make a copy of your veg file, open the project using the copy of the veg file and experiment with any feature of Vegas that you want. You can then open Vegas with the original saved veg file and your project will be exactly as you saved it.

Framerate is probably too high. What’s your render settings?

“Final Cut Pro (60%)”
Well, what do you expect from MAC-centric websites?
The results as of 11:30PM PST Friday show Vegas leading Premiere 12.9% to 10.34%

The transitions were done to give the film the feel of the old film serials like Flash Gordon.
