Thank you for the reply.

The material has no timecode breaks or resets because it is being
recorded live continously to tape at the same time I am capturing it to
Vegas 6.

The timecode is supported by Vegas 6.0. For example, if I were to
rewind the tape and capture in a batch mode, all clips captured would
have timecode relating to the orig timecode on the DV tape.

Even in this "live" capture senerio, the time code goes through to the
Vegas capture and is being read in the location field on the capture
screen. It is just being ignored for some reason I can't quite
explain.
