I don't have any experience with Vegas BUT I would just suggest capturing from another firewire device should you have access to one. That way you can see if the camera is the culprit- or- if it's Vegas that is giving you trouble.

You can't set the TC in most "DV" (SP and/or LP) camcorders.
(One noteable exception is the JVC GY-DV500.)
Most of them always default to 00:00:00 when they detect a "blank" tape.
