  • Vegas Pro 11 cannot open MOV files generated by iOS 6.1.3

    Posted by Laura Tinnel on April 26, 2013 at 12:39 am

    Sony Vegas Pro 11 cannot open MOV files generated by iOS 6.1.3. It is able to open MOV files generated by my Canon 7D. It can also open MOV files generated by older versions of iOS. I tried installing the DivX codecs at someone’s suggestion, but this did not solve the problem. Has anyone else seen this problem and does anyone have a fix?

    Thanks!

    Okay,
    I’m a total Vegas newbie, but was having this same issue a few days ago…
    On the Vegas website, it said to rename the files to .mp4
    … and it worked for me.

    Thanks for the response. Unfortunately that doesn’t work for me. The link is about MOV files from digital cameras.

    I’m guessing that the new iOS uses a different compression algorithm and the CODEX files don’t support it. Oddly, Windows Media Player can open and play the files.

    For giggles, I just downgraded my Quicktime to 7.73. I still have the same problem. 🙁

    Well let’s see… I converted the MOV files to AVI and Vegas can’t import those either. So confused…
