in all honesty.... screw vegas. use windows movie maker to import. its super easy to set up the import, and if your camera doesnt show up in there either, then you can start troubleshooting the issue. i could never import with vegas on my computer either, but i hated vegas in general. now i use movie maker to import and premiere to edit, since premiere stops importing if you have an IM pop up and other dumb stuff like that. if your cam still doesnt show up, make sure you have the most up to date drivers for the firewire card for your OS, and check both the website for the firewire card and for your cam to see if there are any known compatibility issues with the combo you have.

sorry if this comes off as dickish but...

is the camera turned to the 'vcr' setting? if its on the 'camera' or 'record' mode, a lot of times the computer won't recognize it. try that.
