thanks for the reply, no im sure its not a DV camera (not totally sure what DV is lol)
Oh i definately record video and sound from my camera, ive messed around with the videos from it alot but in windows movie maker.

strange my videos work in that but not in vegas.

im sure its a codec thing too, its just trying to find one that works, its like finding a needle in a haystack

by the way, im not recording DIRECTLY from the camera into vegas, but only for post production.
