DV. oh boy.

First sort your project settings out to whatever your footage happens to be. Pixel aspect ratio 1, progressive scan, the resolution you run wow at, and the fps you set in fraps.

After that read this:

I realize that it's not perfectly up to date but you should be able to figure it out.

Since you'll probably want to encode using virtualdub (mp3 sound ftw.. dumb vegas), you can save it using Lagarith: http://lags.leetcode.net/Lagarith_1314.zip in vegas. Give me a shout if something goes wrong
