hmmm, i have some experience with vegas so i will try to help. It sounds like the field order is wrong on your video. before you render the video, go into the options in the mpeg plugin and change the interlace field order to the opposite of what is there. In other words, if its bottom field first, change it to top field. You could also switch it to progressive, but unless your dv camera is progressive, you can lose quality. As a last resort, you can use progressive, but i suggest you select top field first
