I tried capturing from my friends HVX P2 Card into Vegas 5 with no success, now I have version 6. Anyone tell me if they're compatible or do I need a special plug-in? Thanks in advance! :)
 
Vegas 6 (and 5, I believe) will work just fine with the HVX, but you need a way to feed it the video data from the MXF files (will be not read the MXF files directly).

The best tool to do this is with Raylight, from DVFilm. More info, and a demo is available from their website at www.dvfilm.com
 
Like FCP, Vegas requires conversion that just seems like a pain to me. It's frustrating enough to have to have all these MXF files with obscue names but then having to deal with AVI counterparts just seems overkill. It's a shame because I'm really tempted to switch to Vegas after all I've heard from my friends. If only they would just support DVCPro and MXF. Damn you Sony.
 
As DSE stated,

"In the case of the Panasonic, Sony, and other camcorders that offer .MXF (Material eXchange Format) file formats, even though these formats share an extension, they aren't exactly interchangeable. Metadata from the various formats isn't entirely cross-compatible, further making it a challenge for NLE manufacturers to be on top of all the formats. So, while converting the files might seem like an additional step, it will likely be with us for a while."

For me Raylight works, even with all of the MXF file name. You may also want to check out http://www.p2genie.com/ to simplify your workflow.
