What are the best project and video property settings to use in vegas pro 13 when transfering video from mini-dv SD tape into Vegas. My final outcome will then render to Amazon Prime Format mp4. I want to get the best quality from the start and I want to avoid any razor - jagged type lines..

Mini-DV is digital, not analog, so you don't really have any choices when you capture. It's just DV in whatever flavour (PAL or NTSC, 4:3 or widescreen).

Once in Vegas, match your timeline settings to the media (button top right of your Project Properties window).

Assuming Amazon Prime want progressive (not interlaced) AVC MP4 video, there are some quality tips here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-how-can-i-improve-the-quality-of-my-avc-h-264-renders--104642/
