V8 “Unsupported format” message
I provided a veg file and all media from my project done in Vegas 6 to our post-production sound guy who uses Vegas 8. When he tried opening the file, he received an “unsupported format” (or maybe it was “unsupported file”) message. Is this because V8 can’t or won’t open a project done in V6? Whatever the reason though, are there any workarounds?
Many thanks in advance,

Vegas 8 Pro will open projects created on Vegas 6.
However, a Vegas 8 project will not work on Vegas 6.
The problem may be that some type of plugin was used on the Vegas 6 machine that the Vegas 8 machine does not have installed. Could also be that the Vegas 8 machine may be missing a codec required to read some type of media in your project.Instead of trying to open the veg file using the open dialouge box, try dragging it from the Vegas file manager up into the timeline. Sometimes that will allow you to open the file.

What type of file are you trying to drop onto the timeline? If you don’t have the proper codec for the type of file you’re trying to use, it won’t work.

What is the source of your mpeg files? Camcorder? DVD? Encode from another NLE?
