Aw, you are indeed correct about that flash-frame. Unfortunately, I won't be going back to re-render everything just for one frame. In looking at the project file I also noticed that this was a glitch on Vegas's end. No matter where I try to cut that part, that flashframe jumps in at the end. I think it's because I had to edit the timing on the landing and the frame-count was slightly off so it kept that in for some reason. I don't see those black parts that you mentioned (not on the DVD or the original WMV (which was converted into the MP4)). I can't skip through the MP4 to check, but it seems as though it was just an error on your computer's end. I hadn't seen them and I didn't see them in the WMV, MPEG2, project file, or the VOB.
