You can record sound only with Vegas, but if you want to capture - as in moving a bunch of digital video data from one storage (camera) to another (PC) - you have to capture the lot. Afterwards you can decide to not use the video part, of course.

So the only way is to capture with aidio then render the audio as a WAV file and delete the master?

Hit F1
Search by index for recording
Topics found willl include "recording"
Click on that and select record audio
This will talk you through it step by step (easier than I can because it has pictures too :-)

Cheers

That's about the only way to do it. But there's no downside. It takes just as long to capture whether you include the video or not. And the step of opening Vegas and rendering out just the audio as a .wav will only take minutes. Its all just data shuffling so not one bit of quality loss.
The other way you could go is to play out the tape and RECORD the audio but then you will take a quality hit as your going from digital to analogue and back to digital.

Recording: Yes. Capturing: No. If it is a must to capture Audio only you could use ScenalyzerLive.

Well, there is one small downside. You do need room on your hard drive for approximately 13GB of video for each hour captured. Of course, you'll delete the video after rendering to a much smaller audio-only file, but this room must be available when capturing.
