Avid is very particular about the hardware it supports or will even run on. Check out the Avid site for a list of supported kit. I suspect it doesn't like your device because it captures and encodes to mpeg-2, which is not designed for editing, and which neither Avid or Vegas particularly like to work with. If you were capturing to a more edit friendly format, such as DV or a lossless format, you would have less issues.

You need to change the way you capture, or capture with a different program
