  • Vegas 4.0 Doesn’t Recognize .mov Files

    Posted by Adam Mclean on March 4, 2013 at 8:28 pm

    Hi all!

    I have a question… I used Vegas 4.0 YEARS ago for my DAW recording music… made a couple of videos but I don’t think I ever used any actual video files… just photos…

    I reinstalled Vegas 4.0 and got it up a running again hoping to edit some videos taken with my iPhone 3gs… I uploaded the .mov files from my iPhone to my computer’s desktop, but it won’t load into Vegas…

    .avi files work, but .mov files give me the following error: “The file format plugin for the specified format was not properly initialized.”

    How do I initialize it so that I may use .mov files (which it says in the manual that they are indeed compatible…)

    Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

    Feel free to contact me directly: mcleanadamb@gmail.com

    Thanks!

    – Adam

    You are using a VERY old version off Vegas, iPhone 3gs video
    files wasn’t nowhere near existence when Vegas 4 was built,
    Therefore that would explain the problem you are having.
    If you are gonna edit today’s video format content, you seriously
    need a Vegas Upgrade.
