Just a guess - deinterlace the video first.

"I know it's the motion blur"

I wouldn't be so sure it's that at all.
If you've shot interlaced video and depending on which version of Vegas and how your preview monitor is setup you should see lines. When it's displayed on a TV the lines will go away.
That said it could be some other problem, like your video is being scaled and you haven't specified a de-interlace method in you project properties.
Hard to know without more details and seeing the outcome.

Like Bob said. Check and make sure you have a deinterlace method selected (even if you're not deinterlacing) Vegas doesn't resize interlaced properly unless you do. The artifacts you are describing sound like resized interlace comb.

I did some more digging and those lines are there in his original video but the files are progressive. I will see with him if his settings can be changed.

Here is what the video looks like.


Here are my project settings.


Here are a couple of other details I do know about his setup. He uses a Canon Legria HF M41 and uses a Linux machine to pre-render them because the files the camera produces are humongous. Sometimes, he doesn't pay attention to the end format and sends me MTS files (25 fps - interlaced) but most of the time, they are MP4 (30 fps - progressives)
