>>> First... Is there a way to see the camera's original timecode in the Vegas timeline if the DV was captured using Vegas?<<<

yes. You can drop the SMPTE TC filter onto the media, not the track, and see the source TC as a window burn. You can also go into the Vegas perfs and click on the "video" tab. Next to "Show source frame numbers on event thumbnails as:" you can choose "Timecode". You won't have a window burn but on the timeline each frame will show the TC number.

>>>Second... Is it possible to log selects on another V5 PC and a FCP Mac and import those selects into V5?<<<

One way is to just create a batch capture file with VidCap. Save that "*.sfvidcap" file to disk and bring it over to your main machine for capture. You can "flag" what shots you want to batch capture so doing selects isn't an issue. On the FCP side I think we are back to the whole EDL situation...you would have to save your log as a CMX EDL and bring that into Vegas. Problem is that it probably will not work. In a cross compatable world you would be able to import, at the least, a CMX EDL and than "recapture all offline media" and have it work.

Take a look at the Media Manager tool in the Veggie Toolkit. It can import tab or comma delimited text logs and create Vegas Capture entries for batch capture. You can also manually enter the logs if desired.
