I'm using the Film-like settings that are recommended by the DVX DVD that comes with your new DVX and after I capture via firewire into vegas and view the shots on the vector scope, it seems to be recording super blacks and super whites. I just want to know if this is normal?
Camera recording super blacks and super whites, normal?

Assuming your video scope is set for Studio RGB (16 to 235)...
It's normal to see white go above %100. Both my DVX100A and TRV-38 produce "superwhite", as do most video cameras I believe.
With my master pedestal set to minus 6, my blacks sometimes go a little below 0%, however most of the time it right around 0%. So the answer to your question is, yes, it's normal.
If your blacks are waaaay below 0%, you could always try doing a black balance on your camera, if you haven't already.
