Recently got Vegas Pro 19. In it's specifications listed about the product on-line M4V files are listed as being importable. I can't get them to import. Vegas crashes immediately when placing the file on the timeline. So are the specs wrong?
It depends on what's in the container, m4V alone doesn't say much. I just used AVC M4V files today in VP 19.
Try posting media details- here are instructions:
I don't know what you mean by 'container' but the file is an iTunes movie file. All their TV and Movie Videos are a type M4V video.
From here: "5. A CODEC, or COmpressor-DECompressor, is a specific method that was used to encode (create) your media files. There is one codec for the video, and one for the audio (if present), both of which are "wrapped" in the container file extension (see above). If you think that providing the file extension alone is enough information, think about that holiday when you were handed a wrapped package and asked to guess what was inside. Enough said about that!"
Great, now provide info for what's in the container using MediaInfo.
Yeah, I just found on line that Apple's video files are DRM protected, hence they won't load into Vegas. Apparently, there isn't any video converter that will convert a DRM protected file either. So, I'm out of luck. I don't understand Apple's attitude. We do have to buy the videos. But then we do buy Blu-ray Movies and most of them are protected.
Thanks to everyone here for your input. You guys really are helpful.
