Connect your camera to the firewire cable (not to your USB cable), put it into “play” mode and rewind the tape. On Vegas click “File” and then “Capture video”. A window will popup asking you if you want to capture DV or HDV. If you don’t get this window you must re-enable it at the Vegas’ preference panel. Select HDV if your camera is HD, or DV if it's not HD. Then, in the Capture window/tab, click the little down-arrow next to “Prefs”, then “Device” and select the device name from there. You can also specify where you want the captured files to be saved. Then, on that same Vegas window, press “play” and then press “record”. You will find your .m2t or .avi files on the folder you set it to save, and on the “project media” tab (next to the capture tab).
