I tried the capture recording feature in Vegas this morning and a few errors occur, one causes an exception and the capture program closes.

First is as soon as the capture program starts the speakers produce loud feedback - it doesn't start gradually like if you had left the mic on, it just starts loud and squeely! This is on a standard PC and the only mic is the one on my Webcam (A Microsoft Lifecam Cinema).

The second problem is the performance of the recording, you will see that movement seems to fall behind the sound sometimes. I did have problems with the Lifecam in other software similar to this but that was fixed by unintsalling Microsofts software. Camtasia, Skype and Windows Live all record from the webcam without difficulty.

And finally whenever trying to save a video the video capture program fails with an exception.

I have uploaded an example to youyatube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80rzWBhKikw

and here's the exception details:
