thanks for the reply. But I seriously doubt it. Because I seriously doubt they pay for any editing software. lol.

Thanks. I’ve decided to go with a desktop, just because I feel like it will be better in the long run and last longer. I think I should start reading books on editing before I purchase AVID or any computer, because the fact I am like “uhh why do you need two monitors?” says a lot. Lol. Well, hopefully some classes will also fix that.

Thank you for your input!

Thank you for all your replies. I got the files from my dvd’s since I have no idea how to download torrents. I ripped them using winx dvd platinum ripper and used these settings…

(to apple TV) – I know I didn’t want it for an apple tv, but was told it gave the best quality.

(640×480 MPEG4) Excellent quality
video quality: 2400 kbps
video frame rate: 23.97
CPU Core use: 2
video resolution: 1280:720

So I was thinking maybe I was making the quality too high or something?

Yes I remember reading that sony does not like divx/xvid files which is why I switched to mp4 hoping it was not using that codec.

Its frustrating because it has taken me such a long time to find out the high quality ripping settings and then none of the files work smoothly on Sony Vegas. I can’t win!

I ran the file in GSPOT. It said

status: codec status undetermined
name: mpeg-4 video
Codec: mp4v

Ohhh it says
-container-
M4V: apple itunes video (.M4V) VIDEO

I did not realize apple itunes had a different type of mp4 file for it. Dang.

It says Gspot can not yet capable of attempting to render this video type.

It has a lot of errors. I guess I need to convert the files gain. I just wish I could keep quality.

I am going to try Handbrake to convert the files again. It is using an ffmpeg codec. I looked online and it said to convert files to mp4 on handbrake and then convert them again to wmv using Any video converter. But hopefully I can just use handbrake. I guess i will need to go research that now and look up the best settings.

Thanks it worked! My sony vegas won’t play mp4 files without one! Is there a better option? I see people mentioning that gspot program, but I thought that just told you what codec pack to install anyway.

Do you think these mp4 files are too big for sony vegas? they are around 2.07 gb for each file? I have five of them imported in sony vegas and it is really lagging in the preview window. Even on draft.

My laptop has 8gb of ram, and intel i7- and NVIDIA..so I’m not sure why it is still lagging.
