I have a Sony HDR-HC7 and use Vegas 8 to make a video, my final video output when I play on my DVD, the vertical lines show brake into little pieces when I pan the camera, it is not smooth.
Could someone help me like:
1. What should I set on my camera so the vertical will come out smooth when I pan the camera. (or I just need to PAN fast?)
2. On Sony Vegas 8, when RENDER AS, which template will you use in able to get the best HD quality video? ie: HDV 1080 24p intermediate, NTSC DVWiderscreen 24p, etc...
Thanks very much.

Sounds like classic interlace artifacts - or "combe" effect. Do a quick search in the Vegas or HD Editing sections using the word "deinterlace" for e.g. and you will find plenty of advice from many - me included. Some links below to get you going....
