I tried rendering some XDCAM SD (DVCAM-mode) to a DV AVI last night.
In DVCAM-mode, it's the same format as DV, so Vegas smart renders it.
Well, I should say Vegas Pro 8.0c smart renders it... Vegas Pro 9.0b pretends to smart render it and gives me back an empty video DV AVI that plays back empty and shows only red frames on the time line.
IF you alter the footage so it can't smart render, then it will render correctly. But I sometimes need to render my XDCAM to DV tape for my non-XDCAM associates, and I don't want the quality loss from not using smart rendering.
I've filed a bug report with SCS.
