    ——————————————————————————–

    Hi All – I had, and was using, Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0 to load and edit my AVCHD (m2ts) files (rendering out to other formats) from my Canon HG10 – all working well. However, I decided to buy Vegas Pro 8.0 and now neither program will import my m2ts files. Even though I have files for VMSP SAVED – they open without the files – I can see the clips and my editing, but there are no underlying files. On dragging a file up to the window or importing (file – import) I get an error that says the file is an unsupported format – but just days ago I was happily editing the exact same files. Any Ideas? Thanks!

    I had actually – but I received this msg from Customer Service:
    Thank you for contacting Sony Creative Software.

    We currently do not support the Canon AVCHD at this time.

    Really odd because I previously was able to edit the videos . . oh well, I’m done. Thanks.

    if you call Sony tech support and tell them you’re having trouble with Canon AVCHD footage, they can’t provide you with information, because they haven’t tested/SQA’d Canon footage. That doesn’t mean Vegas doesn’t read it, just that they don’t officially support it.
    As you learned, it does open fine in Vegas.

    I see . . .I understand. Thanks for the reply. There’s so much to chase down with video editing (at least that’s my experience), I’m a little burned out now. I’ll pick up the torch another day . . .Cheers.
