I just installed the 6.0c upgrade (from my Vegas 5) and couldn't find a way to set Scene detection. After searching here, I see that the HDV codec doesn't allow it.
A $249 upgrade to get an HDV codec, and they took away the Scene Detection feature? So, instead of having Vegas save a separate clip for each time I hit PAUSE on the camera, I now have to spend hours either logging or cutting a 6 GB video clip into separate clips for editing? How many editors edit with ONE CLIP as their source material? Has Sony completely lost their minds? Oh, yes, I can always "Buy a plug in."
No wonder HDV doesn't work in the demo software, if anyone saw they were giving up scene detection, they'd buy a different product. If you ask me, Sony has crippled their program, and hidden that crippled feature in the demo so no one would realise it until they had coughed up their money.
