I don't know what kind of cam yout using but vegas wont work with all. If you have one of those try using a third party capture program like Windows Movie Maker.

With PS2, just do you thing and save as A png or psd set to NTSC templete. then open to the time line.

Ponis...I have the same problem. I get a "cannot connect to capture device" error. If I unplug the USB from the computer and plug it back in it takes care of the problem...
