The DR60

I am thinking about buying the dr60 and I just want to make sure that there will be no frames missing inbetween the 4gb segments that the dr60 records in a 2 hour take when I drag the files on to a vegas timeline. Can anybody confirm that there will be no frames missing?

Unfortunately, when you copy files manually and put them on the time line side by side, there will be missing frames - a visible glitch in both audio and video. This is why Sony has posted an utility for smart connecting 4GB chunks:

It works well. Also, Vegas offers similar functionality in the option File->Import->Hard Disk Recording Unit; it will not only copy the files from DR60 but also concatenate them to create one file per DR60 folder (or scene). Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me at all, the output file being corrupt. Neither SCS or Sony Broadcast support can't help.

Did somebody successfully use this function in Vegas?
