Importing video from a DVD camcorder
You can use Vegas software to import video from a finalized Sony
®
DVD Handycam
®
camcorder disc.
Note:
Before importing video, you’ll need to finalize the
disc. For information about finalizing a disc, please refer to
your camcorder’s documentation.
Important:
5.1-channel audio will be downmixed to stereo
when importing.
Tip:
The Sony Handycam USB driver that is included with
DVD-based camcorders can prevent Vegas from recognizing
a USB-connected camera. If you use the Add/Remove
Programs Control Panel to uninstall the “Sony DVD
Handycam USB driver” component, Vegas will be able
connect to the camera and import video.

Setting Description
Use ruler time Adds each imported file to the Vegas timeline at the exact position indicated by its
timestamp. For example, if you import a BWF file with a timestamp of 00:00:30;00,
the media would be added to the timeline at the thirty-second mark on the ruler.
Relative to cursor Adds each imported file to the Vegas timeline and offsets the timestamp value by the
cursor position. For example, if you position the cursor at 00:00:10;00 before
importing a BWF file with a timestamp of 00:00:30;00, the media would be added to
the timeline at the forty-second mark on the ruler.
