Take the clip you want to slow down and grab the end of the clip with the cursor WHILE holding down the [CTRL] key. Stretch the clip out to the right to slow things down, or squeeze it to the left to speed things up.

Also, you might want to look into a product called MotionPerfect from Dynapel (www.dynapel.com). If you stretch things out too much, you leave gaps in the video and it might look choppy. This product interpolates the missing frames and fills them in. I have not used this product, in fact, I only learned of it yesterday (thanks, Bill).

One possibility: In the timeline point to the last edge of the scene, press and hold CTRL (then you see a little wave-line under the draw symbol) and then draw the scene longer.

This converts the scene (video and audio) to slow motion.
If the pitch of the audio gets too low, left click the audiotrack and press + - every time you press + the pitch gets higher.
If it gets too high, you can press -.

I think I read somewhere that the full version of Vegas will do interpolation.

It seems that VMS can do this too - The manual (VMS 6.0) says:

Resample (video only)
Resampling allows Vegas software to interpolate frames in an event when the frame rate of a media file is significantly different from the projects frame rate....
Three options are provided: Smart resample (standard setting), Force resample and Disable resample.
