  Getting .mp4 Files into Sony Vegas 7

  Posted by Adam Mcghee on July 20, 2009 at 1:45 am

  Hey guys…newbie here…forgive my ignorance.

  I’ve been using Vegas 7 with great results for a while.

  I just got the new JVC GY-HM100U which shoots to SD cards in either .mp4 or .mov format. Once I retrieve the files back to my PC, Neither of the files seem to import into Vegas for editing. In fact, I can’t even seem to find a suitable player for either file type.

  Suggestions?

  Thanks,

  A would seems that the JVC GY-HM100U camera records to
  the proprietary HD format ProHD which is geared for
  Final cut users on a Mac….The alternative from what i
  researched is to record your footage as ISO Base Media, which
  is then compatible with Vegas.
  Hope that helps….

  ISO-Based Media?

  Yes I’m realizing that this camera would work much better for me if I were a Final Cut user. As much as I would love to be, funds prohibit.

  Thanks for the info.

  However Adam,
  You can try a demo of Raylight over at https://dvfilm.com/raylight/decoder/index.htm
  and then see how well it helps….Then you can make your
  purchase…sale price now is $75 bucks
  Vegas should be able to read those files after you
  install Raylight.
