  • m2ts import problem

    Posted by Tubabubba on September 29, 2007 at 3:59 pm

    My Vegas Prop 8 will not import m2ts files. I see the plug in the “FileIO Plug-Ins” directory, but for some reason, the software is not letting me import the files into a project. When I try to import them, I get an error message saying ‘unrecognized file format’. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I’m having the exact same problem (Vegas Pro 8 won’t import m2ts files–unsupported format). Is it possible that the program didn’t load the plugins (under: Sony\Vegas Pro 8.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\ there is a file called m2tsplug)? Help me out here fellows, I’m in way over my head.

    M2T or MTS?

    If it’s the same problem as mine, the problem is with M2TS files. On the recommendation of another poster, I tried changing the file extension name to MTS, or M2T and it still didn’t work.

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    And yes, it was the m2ts files I can’t import or open. When I go to the file “open” there is a listing for “All Projects and Media Files.” Scrolling through this list I find no reference to m2ts files. For those of you who aren’t having a problem, is there a listing for “m2ts”?

    I’m having the same problem. When I try to import M2T files, which I captured in Vegas 8, I get an error message saying, “unsupported format.”

    It’s odd that a few people seem to have the same problem, yet it doesn’t seem like many have it, as there are no solutions offered.

    Hello I have the same issue as everyone in here…

    A re-install of WinXP SP2 and .NET 2 framework did not help. Still get the same issue that Vegas Movie Studio Platinum not recognising either .MTS and .M2TS files.

    I’m having the same exact problem, and it’s quite frustrating, haha.

    Any luck yet?

    i found a solution to this problem by accident….

    i had a trial copy of vegas which expired, when i re-installed it, this problem started.
    i uninstalled vegas, deleted all vegas folders, (including the one in the sony setup directory) and then cleaned the directory using registry mechanic.
    i also disassociated the m2t file type (go to: my computer/tools/folder options/file types) the m2t files were associated with quicktime for some reason.
    after all this, i re-installed vegas, and now everything works fine…

    try it out

    hope it works for you.
