In Vegas, do I need to open all the 60i clips and convert/render them out before dropping them in my main project with 24p footage from the DVX100a?

This is my first mixed video project and the footage that was shot on in 60i has horid interlacing once rendered to DVD.
 
Re: mixing 24p and 60i

when mixing 60i and 24p(n) you want to edit in a 60i or 29.97fps timeline. Make sure that you uncheck the box in the preferences that says allow pulldown removal on 24p footage. Then when you export to dvd, just create a standard 29.97 NTSC DVD.
 
Re: mixing 24p and 60i

what if I want a progressive dvd output

I suppose I could just change my project properties back to 29.97 NTSC and then like you said unchick that option for the 24p footage and then render 29.97 NTSC DVD, however, I was kind of hoping to edit in 24p and export in 24p...just wasn't sure if I had to export the 60i clips to 24p before using them

You can work in a 24p timeline with 60i footage, however, it will automatically deinterlace the footage giving you half of the 60i resolution. IF you are going to make a 24p dvd, this is the only way to do it.

Or you could use DVFilm.com's "Maker" software which will convert the 60i files into a simulated 24p. You could then import them directly to your 24P timeline.

I just need to improve scan lines that are showing up on the final product. It only shows up on the 60i footage but it is terrible. A lot of it could be the fact that it is from a low end camera and too much resolution is being lost.

You can do that within Vegas, too. The whitepaper gives a rundown on how.

This is what I was referring to in my original question. They walk through how to "convert" 60i into 24p. However, I was just wondering if that had to be done prior to mixing in 24p footage...or if you could just set the properties correct and then render correctly.

It looks like it's not working for you that way. Try it as the whitepaper suggests and see if you get a better result.
