Adding audio later

I recorded about 40 mins mini DV from camera into Vegas Video. I then went through and rough edited into individual clips in Vegas using the trimmer - about 60 segments in total. Finally, went into each clip on the timeline and fine edited in and out points of each clip.

BUT!

Then I discovered that there were two different audio formats on the tape (it was an older tape that had some stuff from the old shoot in the middle and this audio was at 44 not 48). Subsequently, Vegas Video had given an error that it couldn't create an audio proxy and therefore the audio track of my cut clips is blank.

Considering (I assume) that VV "knows" the time code of all the individual clips, is there any way I can get it to go and get the sound back off the original tape in the camera to match each clip in one hit - or am I going to have to recapture and edit everything being careful not to capture the offending footage in the middle?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, sample rates that change mid-stream will wreak havoc on avi files. We will have a fix for this in the next versions of Vegas3 and VideoFactory2.

To avoid this problem while capturing, do not capture across sample rate changes. Yes, it is a bit of a hassle.

Finally, set your camera to always record at 16/48 (the preferred DV audio setting) and the problem will never occur...and you'll be recording the highest quality audio possible in the DV format.
