tDawg and Kaido,

I have spent about a week playing with Vegas Movie Studio Platinum, and it appears to have all of the features I need.

One thing I am not finding within Vegas is the ability to simply transfer video from my camcorder to my hard drive. Canon included a transfer utility that does the trick, but doesn't allow for customized folder naming, and I am not thrilled with how it organizes files when transferring.

I was hoping I could do it all from within Vegas, but I am not seeing an ability to simply transfer files from my camcorder with no intention of editing in a project.

Am I missing something? If Vegas is unable to do transfers, are there any freeware transfer utilities out there that are a bit better than what came with my Canon?
