  • 8.1 not opening any file formats

    Posted by Kirk Smith on February 13, 2010 at 8:50 pm

    I’ve been using Vegas for years and I’ve just recently started having this issue. It doesn’t matter of I reinstall Vegas or reinstall Windows, eventually it starts happening again. Basically, I’m just trying to import a WMV file, but everytime I try to import it, whether I right click and open with > Vegas, or drag it into the project, or import it with file > import > media, it gives me an error:

    Warning: An error occurred while opening one or more files.

    The file is an unsupported format.

    File […] could not be opened.

    This shouldn’t be happening, obviously WMV’s can be opened. I’ve tried this on multiple different video files from many different sources, even ones that I rendered out myself USING Vegas 8.1, no luck. I also tried importing MOV, MP4, and MPG files with no luck either. It appears that Vegas only wants to open up image files.

    PLEASE help me!
