I’m running Vegas 14 on Windows 10 and having the same problem. Crashing every 10 minutes or less, having to rename the project after every crash. It’s getting impossible to edit.

Thank you for this good information Patrick!

Hello Patrick,
I’m not a techie and my computer and editing knowledge is only sufficient to allow me to do what I want to do.
That said, I will answer your questions as best I can.
I don’t know if Canopus DV File Converter would work on Windows 10.
The File Converter is only installed on my old Windows XP PC with Vegas 10 Pro.
My current editing PC is Windows 10 and I’m editing with Vegas 13 Pro.
If I need to access an old video file already uploaded with the Canopus codec and saved on the XP PC hard drive, I convert it with the file converter still installed on the XP PC, put the converted AVI file on a flash drive, transfer it to my Windows 10 PC and edit it on Vegas 13.Sorry I can’t be of more help. I know it’s hard dealing with legacy material. I have many Hi-8 tapes that I can no longer convert as my Hi-8 camera died and the tapes I tried to convert before that happened were too old and have turned to static. So heart breaking!
Good luck with your endeavors and let me know if I can provide any other information you think I may have missed

Hi Graham,
I’m sorry I wasn’t very clear.
My Dell XPS PC didn’t come with firewire so I purchased and installed a firewire card. A firewire cable connects the inputs to that card (in the back of the PC) to my Sony DVCAM deck in order to capture video. -
Yes. an NVIDEA GeForce GT 720

Problem solved!
I was unable to download the 1394 Firewire chipset legacy driver so contacted Microsoft tech support. They had me upgrade Windows 10 to the current “Anniversary Edition” and also update my NVIDEA Ge Force GT 720 driver. I can now upload video via firewire from my Sony DVCAM deck to Vegas 13.Thanks to all for your willingness to help!

My PC is not that old, it’s a Dell XPS 8700 purchased in May of 2015.

I just purchased the 13/14 upgrade with the hope that the capture issue might be resolved with the upgrade.
I’ll report back here after installing it. -
I’m not a fan of Windows 10 but waited longer than the 30 days they give you to easily return to Windows 8. After reading about all the issues that have come up for people who try to uninstall 10, I decided to learn to live with it.
I may try it but don’t like the idea of downloading the driver as that may create issues as well.
I currently have a work around by capturing video on my Widows XP PC and then transferring the footage using a pen drive. Adds another step which ideally I’d like to avoid but that may be the safest route.If I decide to try installing the driver, I’ll post the results here.
Thanks very much for responding!
