  • QT won’t import VIDEO only Audio (V8.1) PLS!

    Posted by Bp Anderson on August 25, 2010 at 3:17 am

    Hi,

    I have a QT (.mov) file that WON’T IMPORT THE VIDEO STREAM, only the 4 Audio Channels. Has anyone had this issue and found a solution?!

    I’ve tried old and new versions of QT (7.5.5 to the latest 7.6.7, and even QT Pro)

    I’ve been trying to work this issue out for months (Incl. recently Vegas Tech Support). I’ve also seen other users on the forum but I couldn’t see a solution, and now time is crunching and I may have to buy another editing software (I’ve had Vegas for years and years)

    I would be sooooo grateful to anyone who has a solution for this issue.

    Here are my basic specs:

    SONY VEGAS 8.1
    WINOWS VISTA 64Bit (yeah I know)

    Here’s the information on the QT file I’m trying to import:

    Stream size : 518208

    (NB: I’ve only listed 1 of the 4 AUDIO STREAMS as it seems moot and slightly redundant, they’re very similar. 4 X 2 Channels.

    Thanks for reading and contemplating.

    I assume these files play in Quicktime Player. If they don’t you may need to install a codec to view them.

    Since you are using the 64-bit version of Vegas you need to find the 64-bit version of Quicktime 7.6.4. Nothing later than that will work and it must be the 64-bit version.
