Hi everyone --
I am testing my equipment as I'm getting ready to do my first wedding shoot in two weeks. However, I've run into a snag. One of the cameras I am using is a Sony Hi-8 broadcast camera (the EVO 300, I think) with an external hand-held mic and a nat sound on-board mic. It belongs to a TV station that I work at.
Here's the problem: When I run the tape through my consumer Hi-8 camera (Sony Handy-Cam) in Player mode, the Capture doesn't capture either audio track. I'm not very schooled in how different cameras read different audio tracks, etc. so I am not sure how to deal with the problem. Audio shot through the Handy-Cam is converted fine.
One thing may be key: The Handy-Cam only has one audio out on it. I've switched the right and left on the Canopus input to make sure it wasn't a "matching up" problem. Is it possible those channels from the ENG camera are on the channel not being outputted by the Handy-Cam?
I am running Vegas 4.0 and converting the analog video through the Canopus ADVC-100. Thanks in advance for replies.

PS--I was advised to post this here after I posted it in the "Vegas-Audio" forum. Thanks!
