VMS 8d (on7-64) AVI media files display audio only

I am trying to archive the last of my DV media to an external FW G-Tech Raid drive. I am using VMS 8d on Win7-64 with a Canon GL-1 camera. My new system is a Gateway with AMD Phenom II quad core proc (2.60GHz) and 8GB RAM.

VMS controls the camera, displays the video during capture, and appears to capture the files properly. I can play them with quicktime, view them in Windows Explorer complete with thumbnails, and bring them into Windows Live "MovieMaker" (totally dumbed-down since the XP version).

However, in VMS 8d, the files display without a thumbnail in the media bins and, when placed in the timeline, the video appears offline but the audio is there.

Sony Capture is using the Microsoft Camera and DV codec.

Has anyone else had this happen? If so, is there a remedy?

VMS 8 is not stated to work with any version of Windows past Vista 32, so I can't speak to that situation. Have you tried the same job on an XP or Vista box?

Otherwise, DV support in Vegas is native, so unless there is something wrong with your capture method or you have messed with the codecs, it should open just fine.

Speaking of DV codecs, do you have the right ones enabled in your Vegas Preferences?

If you will upload an original captured clip to MediaFire, one of us can have a look at it and possibly suggest a solution or workaround.
