I'm new very new to this website and
somewhat new to Vegas. I use Vegas 6.0 and I am working with .avi files and I have a couple of problems. I want the resulting video to be 720x480, NTSC, and mpeg-2. For some reason when I save it with those settings: the video isn't really 720x480, it comes out
720x540 and the quality is pretty terrible (it's somewhat blurry and the color is drained). Maybe it has something to do with settings of the motion blur type, de-interlace method, and/or field order? I don't have Virtual Dub mod or AviSynth, so could those help? I'm pretty oblivious to those programs right now, but I'm very willing to learn.

I have trouble importing .avi files too, but I believe I saw that already as a topic here, so I will check it out first.
Here are the settings for my project:
Template: NTSC DV (720x480, 29.97 fps)
Field Order: Lower Field First
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9091 (NTSC DV)
Width: 720
Height: 480
Frame Rate: 29.970 (NTSC)
Full-resolution rendering quality: Best
Motion Blur Type: Gaussian
De-interlace method: Blend Fields (:?:-Does anyone know what this is/what it does?)
Rendering Settings:
Save as type: Main Concept MPEG-2
Template: Default Template
-Stretch Video To Fill Output Frame Size (Yes)
-Save Project Markers in Media File (Yes) (:?:-Not even sure what this is exactly.)
Could someone please help me out if they have any idea at all? Anything will be appreciated. Thanks so much!
