I got the 2009 show MEN Arena UK,and i already had the livemet audio of that show,so i was going to try to upgrade the audio to LM audio.But when i load it into Vegas,the video is too jumpy to be able to see if the audio is synching properly.

Which video format you have? I've found it best (if you are going to author this on dvd) to make a mpeg-2 file first using external encoder. My PC seems to be old and slow, but works smooth with, for example, 1280x720 mpeg-2. Way better than m2ts etc...
Have you set up project settings, compared with video file settings?

You can also try to choose an half-preview in the preview window (maybe you have FULL preview which keeps original res). You'll still see the video so you can sync, however video will look worse than it is. But it's just a preview :)

I never had a chance to even import mkv to Vegas lol. If you need encoder, Xilisoft Video Converter 6 works fine with mkvs, for me :) I can send you link.

I converted to Mpeg but it was still crap when i loaded it into vegas.I used cyberlink power director and it worked perfectly........but....... the show is not one of the best filmed,hardly any close-ups and very shaky,so i'm struggling to get it in sync.So i may leave it,or try again another day,am gonna give my laptop it's annual service today(format hard drive,and re-install windows)so i'll give it a try later maybe.

Adobe Premiere Pro. Almost same as Sony Vegas, but for the first time not easy too.
