I have just published an illustrated guide, how to prepare high definition Xvid video from Sony Vegas. Much of it also applies to preparing video from other NLEs like Premiere Pro.

Please let me know if any of it is inaccurate or if you have suggestions for improving the workflow.

This was originally written for Stage6, but since that closed these videos can still be hosted on blip.tv or progressively downloaded by the DivX Web Player.
