Render media file format
The timecode of a final rendered media file is determined by the specified format. The frame rate of the
project ultimately determines the timecode and is often constrained by the type of media file being rendered
or the codec being used for compression. For example, NTSC DV is typically limited to a frame rate of
29.97 fps and uses SMPTE drop frame timecode.
Time formats in Vegas software
A variety of time formats are provided in the application. For more information, see Changing the ruler format

Troubleshooting DV hardware issues
Vegas software is designed to integrate seamlessly with OHCI compliant IEEE-1394 DV video capture
hardware and DV camcorders. While most people never have any problems, the vast number of hardware
configuration possibilities makes this a potentially complex issue. There are a number of resources at the
Sony Media Software Web site that may be able to assist you.
