A few other suggestions:

1) User your image editing program to apply a slight gaussian blur to the image in order to soften up the edges a little.

2) Be sure your images are saved in progressive rather than interlaced format.

3) When rendering projects with a lot of stills, set the video quality to Best. The default is Good, which is fine for most video.

P.S. Spot's and bStro's advice applies regardless of whether you are rendering to DV AVI or to MPEG-2. The problem happnes, not because of the encoding (DV, MPEG-2, WMV, etc.) but because of the way high-res progressive stills are down-sampled to video resolution.

Lots more information in the VASST FAQs:

what is SuperSampling envelope?

You have to enable the Video Bus track and then put the envelope there. It applies to all the tracks. What is it? From the Vegas help:

"Video supersampling can improve the appearance of computer-generated animation by calculating intermediate frames between the project's frame rate, allowing you to create smoother motion blurring or motion from sources such as track motion, event pan/crop, transitions, or keyframable effects."
