I don’t have any firewire ports on the front of my machine since I took out the DV Storm bay…so what I do is keep a Firewire cable permanently attached to the rear port, but led out front for easy attachment to the camera/deck/whatever.

I don’t think it’s those.
I experience the same thing…and it’s not a slow system bootup, it’s a slow start of the Vegas program itself. 6.0 does seem to take a long time to get going, compared to previous versions.

inexpensive: iRiver 799 or 899 model.
expensive, but more pro features: M-Audio Microtrack 24/96.Both are solid state MP3 recorders. Zero moving parts!

I use Vegas, and I agree with Jeff’s comment. I’d go even further: no matter how good someone says an NLE is, you need to try it for yourself. Different people respond very differently to the same piece of software.

And left and right arrows move you one frame at a time.

The difference in those two models is that the UM-1 operates on a single fixed radio frequency (1 channel), while the UM-32 allows you to select one of 32 channels for operation. This allows you to change frequency to avoid interfering with, or getting interference from, other UHF radios on your frequency.

I would limit the number of titles you use.
For example, you could head up each segment with a title…”Preparations”, “The Ceremony”, “The Reception”, etc. But I wouldn’t.
Instead, fade to black after each major segment, then fade up to the first clip of the next segment. This first clip should be an obvious establishing shot that tells us where we are. For example, an exterior shot of the church for the start of the ceremony segment.

Pretty much. (By the way, I’d also recommend it as a solid and reliable choice).
Your other choices are:
-Panasonic AG-DV2500. Panasonic’s competing model.
– a JVC consumer dual-well DV/SVHS deck. I haven’t used one, but I have seen several posts from people who’ve had problems.
– a professional level JVC DV deck. These seem to be a bit more reliable than the JVC consumer decks.
– a used, Japanese consumer market Sony dual-well DV/VHS deck. Has to be used, because Sony stopped making them. I have a WV-DR-9, and I like it a lot. Be darn sure you get a translation of the manual, and a 100 volt wall wart power converter.
– A cheap DV camcorder dedicated to deck duty. This is the least expensive, plus you now have another camera for an emergency backup…but the transport mechanism is slower and more fragile, and the playback electronics may not be as sophisticated.
