I believe Deflicker is also available in the Virtual Dub filters.

Terrific! It works...Thanks again.
What about Smart; Force and Disable Resample. Still don't know what to do, or what to choose when coverting avi to MPEG2. Help please :)

Flicker can come from many things and occur at different rates and depth. As VDs deflicker filter fixed your problem the it must be due to moderately fast varying birghtness level. I've tried to use it to correct very slow flicker with zero success.
But I'm wondering how you got the flicker in your animation in the first place. If it's stop frame animation you need to control your lighting and exposure better.
If that's not what you were doing was your animation at the wrong frame rate, Vegas will interpolate frames to match the project rate but several settings affect how that turns out.

As I remember, the deflicker filter in Virtual Dub probably can't be set to follow a really slow luminance cycle. It's really aimed at flicker resulting from the difference between multiples of 30 fames per second and the number of frame exposures per second of film.

Typically, this "beat frequency" would be around 12 to 15 per second depending on how many blades are on the shutter and the frame rate of the projected film.

>>What about Smart; Force and Disable Resample.

You should leave this on Smart (the default). It controls temporal blending - so if you are doing slow motion it will fill in the tween frames with a blending of adjacent frames. It can create problems if you have a frame rate mismatch between your source file and your project frame rate. You might see unwanted blurring during high motion sequences. In those cases, you can set it to Disable.

Thanks to all for taking time to respond. Now I've got another problem: I've rendered a project with TMPGENC as DVD. That's curious because as soon as the mpeg file is created, I see a file with the <mpv> extension. However, you can change this extension typing mpeg and then the file opens with WinMediaPlayer. Unfortunately, I cannot open this mpeg file back in Vegas timeline, nor even with DVD Architect. I'll post another topic on this subject, since I guess that'd be more convenient.
