Anyone actually editing HDV with Vegas??

The internal capture (which is new) is for the new HDV capturing.
The external capture is for the standard DV capturing.

Steve — Vegas 6.0b will ask you when you launch capture which one you want.
The internal capture (new in Vegas 6) was created both for HDV and Decklink. Eventually, you’ll probably see the DV capture moved there as well.
The external capture, is the same way it has always been in Vegas. There is a separate capture program for DV. Nothing new there — it’s the same as in Vegas 5.
The difference now is that you need to choose which one to use for capture.
I covered this in depth on my Vegas 6 Complete training DVD from Class on Demand — even showing step by step how to manually install the D-VHS device.

it will ask which capture utility you want when you launch capture? i saw it do this one time… now whenever i capture, it pulls up only one or the other, not giving me a choice. and the only option i see in preferences just says to use external cap utility or not to use. it’d be nice if it at least gave me a choice, cuz when i capture DV, i’d prefer to use the legacy ext capture program. but obviously for HDV, the internal capture must be used.

It asks until you click the choice to “always use this method” which is what has happened in your case.
If you don’t mind resetting ALL your preferences, just hold down “ctrl + shift” when you launch Vegas, or go into your preferences and choose “default all” at the bottom of the General tab.
There is a way to reset this without altering all you other preferences, but I’d rather not post it publicly, as it opens up a hidden preference list that the general Vegas user should not meddle with.
Send me a private e-mail and I’ll help you reset it.
