Thanks Mike for the link and your understanding of the problem. I
would be more accepting of this limitation if it weren't for the
*misleading* timecode display in the location field of Vegas Capture
window. It looks like it's working! But no dice on playback of the
harddrive clips. BTW, I'm willing to switch capture software if anyone
has suggestions, something that's tried and proven when used the way I
plan to use it.
