Hi @ENunn
This may have nothing to do with your problem, however I think it is worth checking and trying.
Going back to your 2nd screen shot of the error message.
The Drive address says: D:\camera vids and photos\*********
A user on my forum, had a strange problem where DVD Architect kept saying "the file did not exist or could not be read". It turned out to be a problem caused by the way Windows background programs read a file address. The specific problem was caused by "blank spaces" between words in folder name.
Solution: Change folder name to not include any blank spaces.
Use _ between words, so it reads D:\camera_vids_and_photos\*********
Obviously doing this may break other projects you have already made, so why not try moving the problem videos into a new folder address and make sure there are no spaces in any of the folder names.

Derek
In any case VFR isn't the problem. Maybe the XAVC-S codec installed (via handbrake or another pack, i don't know your config) interferes with the Vegas one.
If possible, try to uninstall or disable this code, and see if Vegas can import your files.
idk how to do that 🤷♂️

nope. nothing
@Dr Zen I have been desperately trying every suggestion I come across and just can't get V17 to import my AVIs which I need to do many times each day to get my work done -- but yes, the workaround is to use Vegas' IMPORT feature, which is clumsy for me. But thanks for your post because I want to keep trying...😬
What's your Vegas build?
Just to be sure; did you try to import your short sample?
Build 284.
Yes I tried to import the video with the import function. Same problem
..... and did you already lower your Dynamic RAM Preview max to 0 MB and try again as I adviced you earlier?
Yep. Nothing.
Did you install a codec pack, or do you just use Handbrake?
Did you install a codec pack, or do you just use Handbrake?
i dont have any codec packs installed other than QuickTime. i use handbrake
Can you try to uninstall Handbrake? Make a restore point before to simplify recovery.
What's about other formats import?
uninstalling handbrake doesn't fix anything. everything else imports just fine.
Ok, so, begin to restore Handbrake, if you not already do it.
Next, according this informations about your file:
Module externe
Nom : so4compoundplug.dll
Dossier : C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 17.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\so4compoundplug
Format : AVC
Version : Version 1.0 (Build 8532)
Société : MAGIX Computer Products Intl. Co.
You have to rename so4compoundplug.dll file. Technically the folder name, but we will try by changing extension name, e.g. to "dll_". Do this when Vegas is closed, next relaunch it and try to import your XAVC-S.
(For more infos, see point 7 of this https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-why-won-t-vegas-open-my-file-correctly-codecs-converters-etc--104572/)
renamed it. didn't work.
Try to rename the folder so4compoundplug, add an underscore.
PS: do you see the file types in their name?
renaming the folder didn't work.
what file type?
what file type?
The .dll after the file name, or the extension of any other file in windows explorer
oh yeah i saw it. i added an underscore to the dll and renamed the folder and nothing. did the solution in the thread you linked. nothing
Astonishing... Restore all names and all what you had change.
done
