Not sure if this will help you, but I got the same error message on my Macbook pro. Stumbled upon the solution myself:

I went back and verified the versions of EVERYTHING. yes, Snow Leopard, Bootcamp 3.0… but then I noticed when booting into Window 7 that there was an “N” after the Windows 7 name. “Windows 7 N”.

After some digging, I found that the European Union forced Microsoft to offer a version of Windows that does not come bundled with Windows Media Player and associated assets. Not sure how, but this is what my IT guy gave me!

I found the upgrade for the media pack here:
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=31017ed3-166a-4c75-b90c-a6cef9b414c4

After installing this, the Vegas Pro 9c install went smoothly!

I happen to be running on a Mac, but I believe this error would have occurred on any PC running an “N” version of Windows.

Thanks Rick. Yes, I do have a tripod. The HV30 looks interesting. As I understand it, HDV recorded to tape is far easier/faster to edit than AVCHD in sony Vegas, right? So, the only downside would be the limited recording time on tapes… and well… dealing with tapes.

The HG20 looks like similar specs, except the hard-drive/flash record and AVCHD.

Same dang price, too! Not making this easy for me, ha!

Thanks John. Perfect.
Maybe a dumb question: when you are finished editing AVCHD from your H10, can you render it to something standard def for the web. Like the default broadband .wmv?
Best,
