Hi all. I have Vegas4. I have tried to capture footage from my dvx100 but when I click the capture video icon an error message appears. When I click on the detail portion it states that some files cannot be opened.

2 questions

1.My ram crashed 2 weeks ago. >:( It was replaced. Vegas was installed when the original ram crashed. Could this be the cause of the error message. Should I un/reinstall Vegas.

(in case you can't tell, I'm a computer neophite. When I made films, it was on a KEM)

2. Does anyone know if they have made a Vegas for dummies book? I have the Vegas workshop book but I think I need something even more dumbed down. :-/

I'm certain I will have more questions. I appreciate all the help and patience.

Your ram crashed? That different ;). Anyway it should be uninstall/reinstalled and then see if it works OK. Books -- Out of my line... Never learnt how to read ;D

Re: I'm a Vegas idiot....

does it ask you to find or replace files not found?
 
Re: I'm a Vegas idiot....

No, it says can't open files. I am writing this from work but I don't have the specific files.

Ram had a "cavity" (as the tech guy described) so as I turned on and off my machine the ram became more unstable.

The first thing I'd do is reinstall Vegas. If it's not working now, you've really got nothing to lose. :)

As for a beginner's intro to Vegas, perhaps Gary Kleiner's DVDs would be useful. The DVDs were recently discussed in this forum. Here's a link to the thread (link)

Sony just e-mailed me and stated that the problems I'm having were indicative of the first version of 4.0. They gave me a link to download the newer version.

Wow, a company that actually responded to my question and addressed it specifically. Kudos SONY!!!

As to Books for vegas, there isn't any question of mine that hasn't been answered by searching through the manual. I love that thing. I taught me everything. Sometimes it's all about finding the right word to describe the problem.
