You want to use VV3 to capture because of the codec.

Have you uninstalled Vegas then reinstalled it yet? A complete uninstall, not repair.

Toxic didn't specify that he was capturing DV, but since he mentioned camera control then he probably is. If so, then VidCap isn't using any codec at all. The camera supplies the DV codec and VidCap merely copies the file through firewire.

Several people have reported using Scenalizer with good results.
