Can Sony Vegas capture 4 channels of audio from a DVCAM tape in 32k mode through Firewire/iLink? If not, what is the inexpensive solution for this, aside from capturing 3/4 in a second pass and sync'ing them on a timeline and making a subclip (what a pain!).

Vegas can't, but Scenalyzer can and do it in one pass. It creates an .AVI file with the video and audio tracks 1 & 2 and a separate .WAV file with audio tracks 3 & 4. Scenalyzer is a terrific capture program anyway and well worth the $34 it costs.

I second John's recommendation. I have used Scenalyzer for this many times. Just add the AVI and WAV to the timeline and you're good to go. They've always been perfectly synced for me.

Thanks for the advice guys, I will give that a shot.
