Sony Vegas 8: Can’t import MP4 file, get error message
I have a 3.32GB MP4 file that I want to edit in Sony Vegas. When I try to put the file into Vegas I get the following error message: An error occurred while opening one or more files. The reason could not be determined. The file couldn’t be opened.”
I tried playing the files in my (updated) QuickTime player and they work fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No matter what version of QuickTime you’re using, Pro 8 is too old to be able to recognize newer mp4 files.

I have a similar question. I have an old cd with apparently WAV files. I imported some with Vegas 9 but it would not open one I tried but it said it was not a supported file. How come? I opened a .vf file with vegas nine then looked at the way it could render the file. In that list was WAV. So if it can render it as a WAV how come it says it is not a supported file? Doesn’t make sense to me. But I am sure there is an explanation I don’t know about. In the meantime I would suggest Julie do what I did and open a project then look at the ways it will render it.
Have a nice day. -
Change “save” to “render” as Sorry (whew! Mike)

“I have an old cd with apparently WAV files. I imported some with Vegas 9 but it would not open one I tried but it said it was not a supported file.”
The files on a CD show up as something other than WAV files if you look at them through Windows Explorer.
Try the “Extract Audio From CD” option.
