I installed an I cable which has acknoledged the existence of my Sony camcorder. But, it will not be recognized by Sony vegas 8.0, not being detected the software is obviously totally useless. It also causes my computer to constantly crash. Is there another option? Is the video capture card and cable different and/or where can I get the darn thing please help. Sincerely.

"I cable" ... do you mean iLink, as in Firewire or 1394?

What model camcorder? Is it SD or HD? Does it record to tape, DVD, hard disk, or memory cartridge?

Note that the capture program built into Vegas is only for capturing HD. If you're capturing SD then there is an external program VidCap for handling this.
