This may be more of an issue with the Windows OS, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having such a hard time using external fw drives with Vegas while trying to capture. I'm using V5 and I cannot seem to capture fw from a JVC BR-DV3000 to an external fw drive (Lacie). When I have both devices connected things get really strange. I can see the external drive but I cannot write to it or select it as a capture drive. I know this works with other devices (like right from a camcorder). I'm also seeing a lot of delayed write error when using external drives and a video deck connected to the PC. This stuff works so good on a Mac it's a shame the PCs just don't get along with fw as good (this is my experience with many different PCs including my home computer).
