Can't disable Deinterlacing on VV 2.0

I've been a Premier user for a few years now, but figured I'd give VV a shot when I had the chance to buy an older closeout copy of VV 2.0. I definately like it a lot, but have been having one big fat glaring problem:

When I render a project, it ALWAYS deinterlaces my footage, thus blurring everything and tossing out half my video information.

I'm working with standard interlaced DV footage (720 x 480).
All my source footage Field settings are "Lower Field First"
I've tried every possible settings combination I can think of, from changing the Deinterlace settings to each of the 3 possibilities (project properties - "Advanced..." button), changing field settings on source material, changing field settings on Render settings, Resampling Video frame rate, Quality, etc.

Actually, even in the preview window, if I have it do a full-sized preview, it's obvious that it's deinterlacing everything. This makes it totaly useless to me if I can't get good interlaced footage to send back to DV. Anyone have any thoughts?

Apparently the answer was "Get irritated, quit VV, come back later" for now it magically works.

Hey Devon, give someone a chance, at least more then 45 minutes or so, & chill...

I don't know how many can still speak to vegas 2, can remember. I will say that with Vegas 3 & 4 the process is to import your footage, right click on it in the timeline to check the properties, making sure that the field order was set correctly. 2nd step is to set the properties for the project to match. The third step is if/when you set up a render to file, if the format & codec etc. have a field opion, make sure it conforms as well.

By the way Devon, you are this weeks winner. As far as I can see nobody get a better relative upgrade price than legal owners of really old Vegas versions. Again, if I'm right (and I will be truly sorry if I'm misleading you here) you can upgrade to Vegas 4 for what I paid to go from 2 to 3 last summer: $ 149,95.
If you like Vegas Video 2, you're gonna love Vegas 4.

Get in touch with the sales team if you haven't got the magic email message containing the not very secret catalogue code. Before March 15. I only take 15% (no, I don't).

Glad it's working for you now. Perhaps the video preview was in draft mode or sized small? This would cause the DV decoder to run at half-res, which would make it look blurry and deinterlaced.
