Recording in an empty event?

Hi
It seems that it is not possible to record multiple takes into an empty event vhen you are locked to a externeal device(videomachine). Is that correct or am I missing something?
I put an empty event in the track, arm it and hit play on the videomachine. Vegas locks up and start to draw the waveform inside the event. If I want to do another take, like I will in any ADR or Foleysession, Vegas makes up a new event and start recording from the point it locks up. I have tried with and without loop on with the same result. I suppose if you have the picture in the your computer it will work, but I am still working with a external betaSPmachine.
Thank you for any advice.

The preferred method would be to capture the video and load it in Vegas as video reference track. You won't have to worry about deck chase times, and you'll save some potentially serious wear on the deck transport mech.
