Fred, and others who have seen "wavy footage" when rendering from Vegas:

In the project properties, what do you have the Deinterlace Method set to? I learnt from Laurence in the Vegas forum that if you have the deinterlace method set to "none" you get nasty artifacts. This is for a render to interlaced.... even though you actually aren't deinterlacing this seems to make a difference. Setting the Deinterlace Method to "Blend Fields" seems to fix it.

Okay I have read some old threads and done practically everything that is said out there in these forum. From what I had been doing since day one I'll stick to it. I guess I can't get any better dvd out of it and will come to terms that its "the nature of the beast" kind of thing. I admit the footage looks awsome, just that it has some flaws probably not noticeable to the average Joe but I guess I am very meticulous. Not the whole footage is wavy or shaky..just certain areas depending on the objects and the movements. Thanks for a great forum.
