About all you can do to record this is to send it out to the sound card, open your windows recorder, and record it. If you try to record it in Vegas, when you speed up or slow down the original, so does the recording. you could also use Sound Forge to record with if you wished, sending out of a virtual out and using the virtual for Forge.

...or record it out to DV and then capture that.

That was funny.

However I think he is asking about video scrubber, in which case a velocity envelope should give a similar effect. Right?

The scrub control is only for previewing from the timeline. It has no effect whatsoever on rendering.

Using velocity envelopes lets you speed up and slow down the video, even pause and reverse it. You can change the speed "on the fly" from moment to moment. It's a great tool for some bizarre effects. However, it only changes the video; the audio will still run at the original speed.

If you Ctrl-drag the right edge of the clip to the left this will speed it up or Ctrl-dragging the right edge to the right it will slow it down. This process affects both the audio and the video together, but only works at a constant speed. Also, the default behavior is to change the speed of the audio while retaining it's pitch, which is nice for small speed changes but sounds very robotic if you go more than 10 or 20%. Right-mouse-clicking on the clip, choosing properties, and changing time stretch to "Change pitch and length" will make this method have the same effect as the scrub control.
