I upgraded to Vegas 10c, 64-bit on Windows 7. and now when I click on "Capture Video," and select "DV," the Capture utility window fails to open. Basically the upgrade to 10c killed Sony's DV Video capture utility. I've tried going to Options -> Preferences -> Video -> Use External Capture...

Hi all, I just upgraded from Vegas 10a to 10c. Problem is, the Markers no longer are saved in the Timeline or in the Trimmer. Am I doing something wrong? I've used Markers without a problem since Vegas 7. I saved the project file, have "Automatically Save Markers in Trimmer" checked under...
