  Sony Vegas 5.0

  I have a million AIFF files from a royalty free cd that I purchased. If I play the audio files by themselves, as a stand alone file, they all work. If I am in Vegas and attempt to open SOME of these files, I receive a generic error message:

  “An error occurred while opening one or more files.
  The file is most likely corrupted or of an unknown format.”

  Well first of all I know that the file works because they will work if I navigate via Explorer and play them outside of Vegas.

  Second of all, SOME Of the files work just fine to open in Vegas. It is as if this is a roll of the dice to see which ones will open/not open.

  Finally, this happens on many other computers, not just the same one. And the behavior is only when using Vegas.

  HELLLLLLLLLP!!!! ANY ONE……HELLLLLLLP

  Should I batch convert these sound files?
  Thank you!

  I know what your saying !!!
  I have been there as well.

  I have old mpeg2 files of fire, explosions that used to work in earlier versions of software.
  Now they randomly crash when I preview them. However if I preview with media player etc… then all is good.
  So I am converting them to formats that still hold the alpha channel to use them.
  Sooo…
  By all means do this.
  Find 2-3 files that dont play nice and convert to MP3 192kbps
  (or anything you want depending on how you use them)
  then try them again.
  If all is well do a mass batch conversion !!!!
