I’d like the answer to a slightly different version of the op’s question – Why, if Vegas won’t allow us to use anything other than FireWire, doesn’t Sony put FireWire in their cameras anymore. Or, asked a different way – Why, if Sony won’t put FireWire in their cameras any more, doesn’t Vegas allow a different input other than FireWire?

I suppose I’m being simplistic – that is, the cameras I CAN AFFORD don’t have FireWire…

Been using the HV20 for 3+ years now. No problem. Make sure you are copying using the correct settings. And, of course, firewire…

Exciting…but where is the price tag for updating?

When you are done with each project – at the end – you place the individual projects into a NEW project and render! Done!!

“I back up all my work to external hard drives. The complete project folder so I can go back and make changes later if needed.”

So, you just keep the hard drives – forever???

I haven’t printed to tape in a long, long while (several years)

OK, THAT raises another question – what do you do for backup? I backup my edited/completed project to tape.

you could render the project to a DV AVI file and then use the DV Capture tool to print the file to tape.

I always render my project to AVI. The reason I don’t uas the DV Capture tool is that it doesn’t give me the color bars… Maybe I just don’t need them?

Thank you,

Dave
