    When I add a mpg file to a project from my Sony HandyCam, the original audio that was recorded doesn’t import along with the video. What is it I’m not understanding?

    Is this a miniDVD camcorder?
    Did you import it using the File-Import-DVD Camcorder Disc option?

    Thanks for the response! I figured it out. The Sony format (MPG2) embeds the audio where Vegas won’t pull it in. Using Super C decoder, I converted the files to MPG4 format then Vegas gets it all.

    I have another suggestion or just another way that may work for you without having to re-encode.

    I have a sony hadndycam and don’t have to do all that.
    In Windows, I highlight all the clips that are in the camera when it’s plugged in via usb,
    then go to edit \ copy to folder \ and copy it to a folder on my external firewire that is plugged in to my laptop.

    Then when I open up vegas and go to the explorer I can drag and drop the files from my external hard drive right to the timeline and they work perfect.

    My camera is a DCR-SR42 which records\creates MPEG-2 Files.
    And the computer I’m using is a pc with vista 32-bit
