  • Vegas 6.0 support of m2ts files

    Posted by Neal Wingenbach on December 8, 2008 at 1:29 am

    I have recently purchased a Sony HDR-SR12 and want to start doing HD video editing on the movies it takes. I own Vegas 6.0 and cannot get it to recognize the m2ts or mts files. Does anyone know if Vegas 6.0 will work on these files, or am I facing an upgrade of Vegas to 8.x or using different software.

    BTW, my OS is Windows XP.

    Thanks,
    Neal

    Don’t know whats wrong….Vegas 6 should be able
    to recognize those file formats.
    What happens when you import them in vegas?

    AVCHD support wasn’t added until Vegas 7.0e so yes, you will need to upgrade to be able to read & edit this file type.

    Sorry, I just realized that you indeed have to upgrade
    to version 8 to natively edit and have full compatibility
    when using those formats….As Mike pointed out.

    I have upgraded to 8.0. Same issue. When I try and import the specific *.mts files I get a message that this file type could not be opened:
    “FILE G:\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00073.MTS could not be opened”

    We’ve found out that this is not a 6.0 issue, so I’ll try and start this thread with a new topic. I’m also trying to try another Video editing app for the purpose of determining where the problem lies.

    Thanks,

    Since this is a sony camera, I’m wondering if the files have been corrupted?
    Can you play them in anything else?

    They play wonderfully with Sony’s Motion Picture Browser. And since this camera records the *.m2ts files directly to its hard drive, I can play them off the camera as well. So I can say surely that the files are not corrupted.

    I’ll reply back after trying them with other programs.
