If not, is there a way I can at least retrieve and save the rest of my video aside from those few .mp4 clips?

Move the MP4 clips to another folder. Then open the project and when prompted to find missing media, tell Vegas to leave the off-line. This will tell you which files are causing the problem. To fix the problem, use another program like AviDemux to convert the MP4 files to AVI. Then open the project again and when Vegas asks for the missing MP4 files point it to the AVI files.

If you do this, choose your AVI format carefully. Use a codec that can be edited easily by Vegas. I would recommend MJPEG as a good choice. Here is how to set up AviDemux to create an MJPEG file for editing:

Thanks. But I’m not sure how to use this program. :3
What do I do once I choose those settings you’ve shown? (also, I don’t have MJPEG (lavc) )

You have to scroll down to get to MJPEG but it should be there. Then you use File | Open and open the video you want to convert. Then use File | Save | Save Video… (Ctrl+S) top save it as an MJPEG AVI file.

Hi,
I’m a VJ (I play videos in clubs synced to the rhythm of the music) and the program I use (Resolume) had no problem playing videos that I exported with Avidemux in “MJPEG (lavc)” but now, on my new laptop, I only have “MJPEG”.
And I’ve seen you say that the two are the same, but that is not correct.
When I use my old videos which had been saved using Avidemux in “MJPEG (lavc)”, it works just fine, but when I try to use my newer videos which were saved using Avidemux with “MJPEG” (no lavc) the program crashes to my desktop.
I tried every codec pack I know of and none of them worked (not ACE, not FFDSHOW, not even CCCP.. from what I can remember I think I tried K-Lite too).

So do you know a way I could get that “(lavc)” version of MJPEG? Because apparently they are not the same.

The solution would save my life.

Thanks!

I think you just need to go back to using an older version of AviDemux. I noticed that latest version changed the MJPEG so just going back to an older version should bring it back.
