What sort of artifacts?
That term covers a zillion things and most of them cannot be removed but if we knew a bit more I could give a more precise answer.

the little blocky ones...i had to brighten up a darker aree of video and as a result the footage shows little square blocks in random pots when i veiw it on a monitor...
Yes, those are artifacts, but the term "artifact" is very general and can describe a number of issues. What you're describing are "macroblocks." Here is a link to a filter for Virtual Dub, but can also be used from within Vegas using Satish's plugin.
i tried the wax with the vdub plugin (in vegas 5) and i get an error message.."unable to find video length...please check if you can scripts...wax needs that ability..."
well i think vegas 5 can run scripts and i have not turned anything off on scripts ..so...head scratching?
