Hi To some extent it's a matter of personal choice, and it depends what you want to do with your video, eg make iPod compatible etc or just embed it in a webpage.
If you are using the latest update of Vegas6 if you go to your rendering options you will see 'Main Concept) AVC/AAC and then in the drop down box 'Apple Ipod Video' - that does work fo ipods. Runs about 600kbps - around 2.5 MB/minute The problem is, that if you embed that in a webpage it won't play right away - 'smartstart as apple calls it' - but will have to be downloaded all the way before playing.. But if your videos short that doesn't matter too much. You could use http://embedthevideo.com/ on it. One way to get around that might be to upload your video to somewhere like youtube, veoh, dailymotion, google video or similar, that will convert it into flash video, and give you a code to embed it in your page. Personally I don't think much of the quicktime6 options that are in vegas6. To make video that is 'smartstart' you would need to render to video for windows.dv ntsc and then take that and put it thru quicktime pro 7. Another story. It's a good idea to make a DV NTSC master anyway, which you can export back out to tape for archiving, and also, perhaps, to render to mpg2 for DVD. Myself I use realmedia9 @225kbps for my pages, but I'm old school.
