    I couldn’t see anything in my search results …
    I kept the m2v file (along with the iso) of a project in case I needed to pull some pieces of it out later…it’s now later and I need a piece of it but VP10 reports it can’t open it…surely there’s a way right…I mean if it can make one it’s gotta be able to open one yeah?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Get the free program “Mediainfo” and see what codec was used to make the video file. then install that codec on your PC.

    DO NOT INSTALL A CODEC PACK.

    Thanks Steve but it was made by me in VP10 using the 25 mbps Bluray template

    That doesn’t mean anything. You can select from more than one codec in the Vegas “render as” templates. If Vegas can’t open a video file, it usually means that the needed codec has not been installed on the PC.

    I downloaded mediainfo, unzipped it, and tried to run the exe as an administrator…it flashes for a second and then disappears.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Steve,

    I created a short m2v with v10.e and cannot “import it”.

    m2v’s can be created from Vegas but they cannot be used within Vegas.

    Looks like you need to convert it to mpg.

    a long shot, but try the file import;dvd camcorder function. it works for mt2s so maybe for yours too. also, the manual mentions using device explorer for certain types of hd files… i’m on vegas 11 so 10 might have less options. also; try dragging and dropping directly from windows explorer onto timeline. i find this works with some hard disk recorder camera formats that vegas browser doesn’t even see and list. ed

    I agree with Tyson, Vegas will not import m2v files. They are a delivery format for Blu-ray and not an editing format. If you are saving these thinking you can edit them later you should stop doing this and save them to an editing format like XDCAM, HDV, or AVCHD.
