It's impossible to have "720i/24p". That's a contradiction in terms.
If you want 24p DV, then you'll render to the 24p template. If you're trying to upsample DVX footage to 720p, then you'll select the HD720p/24 template.
"i" means "interlaced."
"p" means "progressive."
You can't have both at the same time in the same final output, ever.

yeah... sorry!! I wanted to say 720p...
what about the printing stuff?
PS corrected.

If you want to print 720p, then you need either a Panasonic HVX200 or a JVC HD100u, or other 720p capable camcorder or deck. The DVX 100 isn't capable of HD.
Maybe you're trying to say that you want to print 480p? Which is DV progressive?
To do that, you'll work in a 24p (23.976) project setting, and render to same using the 24p template that Vegas already has built in. This will print correctly to a DVX.

I think I am explaning it very very bad... I want to print my vegas project (edited work) to a minidv tape with my DECK without rendering... and my question is: Is this possible?
thanks again...

I promise I'll buy one of your books... :)

You don't need to buy one of my books to get the answer to the question.
If you've got a project that has anything done to it, ie; color correction, titles, etc, then you'll need to render. You can attempt a PTT, but it likely will stutter, drop frames, or at least hang from time to time unless it's a cuts-only stream and you have a fast computer. Cutting dailies without rendering works pretty well, but that's about it.

ok... thanks a lot... I wasn't kidding about the book.
I was concerned about lossing quality if I render it then print it and then capture again. I have a fast enough machine. What's a PTT?
thanks!

First, why would you render, PTT (print to tape) and then recapture? There is no point.
Also, the codec Vegas uses isn't lossless, but it may as well be. It's a visually lossless codec, and can stand many multiple renders before you'll visually notice a loss.

ok... got it.
The printed tape isn't for me. I'm keeping the original footage...

It was a DVX100B... I guess next time I will be more accurate.
