Have you tried asking the nice Panny People in this forum? Once the files are in the computer Vegas will be able to read them.

First, make sure that your computer detects your camera when you connect it – you may need to install a driver. You should also be able to see the camera as a removable disk drive in Windows Explorer.
If you have Movie Studio Platinum, you can try using its built-in Device Explorer (on the View menu) to import camera footage directly from the camera over its USB port. It should automatically detect the camera and give you a list of clips to import.
The other option is using Panasonic’s software to do the import. You should have received a software disk with the camera. I don’t know what the prosumer/pro cameras come with, but consumer Panasonic cameras come with something called HD Writer which doubles as a capture/import utility and basic editor/converter. It will copy the AVCHD footage from the camera and give the files sensible time-stamped names, and you can then use them directly in Vegas.
