I don't get it. Every time I try to capture video from my SONY DSR-250 into Vegas 4.0e it captures at 720 x 576 instead of 720 x 480. What am I NOT doing right?

That's the normal PAL DV res - does the camera record PAL?

Yep, sounds like you're capturing PAL footage.

Here's what I think happened...I tried to capture the tape from a DSR-11 VTR but it turns out that the DSR-11was in the PAL mode! It must have left a "footprint" or some kind of code that made the DSR-250 cam see the tape as PAL, also.
I moved the PAL/NTSC switch on the back of the DSR-11 and now every thing is fine. Thought I was in the Twilight Zone...
