What are the details of the MP4 file you are trying to import but my wild guess is this:
Windows 8.1 Pro, Shuttle SZ77R5 with i7 3770S, 32GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 3TB HDD & GTX650Ti, FDR-AX100, DMC-GH4, HC-WX970M, VG30

Are you using GH3 (or GH4)? If so, place all the spanned files in a sequential order on the VEGAS Pro timeline, save it as “GH3 Joined” (or any other name you like), and close it. Start then a new veg file and import (=nest) the “GH3 Joined” veg by “drag and drop”. You could realistically treat it as a single video file. I own GH4 and use this method all the time. Or, I guess you could also binary copy the spanned files in the DOS window to make them a one piece physically.

I don’t own a7sii and had never worked on 24p footage, so I downloaded a sample a7sii 4K 24p footage from VIMEO, and loaded the file onto Catalyst Browse.
In the transcode setting, I see 24p (& 23.976p) along with 30p, 50p and 60p for 3840 x 2160 resolution. I also see “no crop” option as below.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibao7c32geb86ft/Transcode%20to%20Crop%20Type.jpg?dl=0Are you sure that your recovered footage has the same resolution and the frame rate as those of the original footage? Check the file with MediaInfo.

For converter, I suggest that you try Sony’s Catalyst Browser (free).

Then it’s more likely that VEGAS Pro has the (decoding) problem. Why not try to convert the recovered mov (and h264) file to a more VEGAS friendly format to see if it cures the problem?

Glad to hear that it worked for you too. (That site saved me from losing an invaluable video file of approx. 90GB.) I am just thankful to the original poster for making his excellent salvaging utility available.

If the file was recorded on a7sii, can you play it back on the camera? If not, it’s corrupted for some reason (recording error?). I had a similar case where my Sony handycam AX100 could not find any playable file on the SD card although a file with an MP4 extension was indeed there. Luckily I was able to copy the file to my PC but none of the applications, NLE’s or converters I had on the PC, could open the file. I looked for rescue info for a couple of days and, finally the following site gave me the solution. Good luck.

Hi Devin,
My system is entirely different from yours and this might not help at all but I used to suffer the same “low on memory” error when there was actually sufficient resource available. At that time, disabling GPU fixed the problem. Go into “Preference” setting, and disable GPU (i.e. “uncheck GPU acceleration of video processing”) to see if it can fix the problem. -
Hi Xavier,
I used to suffer an uncountable number of crashes and hangs when rendering. In my case, two things helped to rectify:
1. Render by nesting: Before rendering a project, close it first and then “import” (i.e. nest) it in a new project (veg).
2. Disable GPU acceleration completely (in Preference) if render by nesting does not work.
Your system configuration significantly different from mine so maybe different issues but worth checking. It doesn’t cost any money.
