Unfortunately, you cannot use the Storm with Vegas.

You can use Storm in a roundabout way.
Capture w/Storm.
Edit in Vegas
Print to tape w/Storm.

Benefits? You can use Canopus' 4:2:2 codec throughout, and print to Beta via Storm.
Otherwise, little benefit, because the Storm isn't incorporated into Vegas' driverset. Canopus would be wise to start writing drivers for Vegas.

I have video events captured in Canopus DV Storm, copied to a DVD as individual files and I am trying to open them in Vegas and in Media Player. All I get is the audio portion of the file. I am assuming it is caused by the Canapus codec, not compatible with Vegas. Any way to get around this issue in Vegas... or any other option tomport into Vegas??

Thanks

Maybe I'm wrong here. But I don't think you can use the Canopus 4:2:2 advantage with Vegas and Storm. The codec itself does not compress to 4:2:2. It's pure DV - 4:2:0 or 4:1:1 (PAL/NTSC).
The 4:2:2 advantage only can be used when working with a software which uses the Storm Canopus hardware codec internal when working with filters (for the decoding). Premiere can do this. Lets Edit and Edius can do this. Vegas cannot use the Storm hardware-codec for decoding.
So I think it is no use at all to use the Storm with Vegas. You will need an additional Canopus software playback codec to be able to read the files so it's even more a disadvantage.
The Storm was especially build for Canopus software and Premiere.

The biggest advantage of the Storm are the realtime-facilities - again them only work with Premiere and Edius. No way to have an improvement in Vegas using the Storm. Also I'm still a bit sceptical for using the Storm with Vegas at all because I think the Storm is not an OHCI compatible card.
