I'm totally new to Vegas.
I'm having trouble capturing footage taken in 24F mode (high def) on my Canon XH A1, using Sony Vegas Pro 8.
When I try to capture, I get a jittery picture, as if it was a series of stills, and hundreds of tiny files on my computer. I'm using the 24P setting in the preferences.

I am experiencing the same problem. I have a support claim into sony but they tell me they don't have enough money to purchase an XH-A1 to try the problem out. That should give you an idea of the kind of help I've gotten from them. I asked Donald Berube from this forum and his reply was that it is in the preferences. I have heard from Sony and Canon that the Version 8 will not accept the 24f but Version 7 did. I am like you in that I get an individual clip for every frame. HDV Split is a free program that will supposedly allow you to capture the video but it crashes on my system due to Muvee software. I also didn't pay this much money for Vegas - a supposedly all inclusive program - only to go outside my software to a free ware program which crashes on me. I keep reminding Sony but nothing helps. Could someone PLEASE answer our question. How do you get Canon 24f into Vegas version 8?

Hi John, Thanks for the response. I've already tried that with Sony along with a handful of other things they suggested but they didn't work. Marc from Sony's response was that it indeed didn't work and he passed it along to the people further upstream. The problem is that the people upstream apparently didn't think it important enough to work on because "they can't afford the XH-A1 to try it out on". With that reply, I would sell Sony stock if I held any. They must be getting very low on funds. They are supposedly still working on the problem.
