Hello everyone,

I'm facing a strange issue where VEGAS won't accept audio files in the .wav format. It throws an error both when I try to import the file through the "Import" option and when I attempt to drag and drop it into the timeline.

From my testing, the only noticeable difference between the working and non-working files is their length and size. The problematic file is over 4 hours long (a podcast) and larger than 4GB, while shorter and smaller .wav files work just fine.

Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

In Preferences/File I/O, try checking the checkboxes of either or both the Wave checkboxes:

... I recall that this was the solution quite some years ago for dealing with very large .WAV files.
