I have discovered that:

Vegas 14 will not open the files even after unblocking the files. HOS / Import Assist still works to render to many lossless or lossy options.

Vegas 15 and 17 opens the files even though they are Blocked.

I am not running Vegas 18.

All right, that doesn't work on Vegas 18.

@east

If you don't need the audio, tsMuxer will change the level of the video to 4.1 instantly without re-encoding and any version of Vegas should open the file.

If you're capable with FFMPEG, this script will encode at ~ the same bit rate with good results.

ffmpeg -i Input_File_Name.mp4 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 11 -profile:v high -level:v 4.1 -c:a copy Output_File_Name-Level4_1.mp4

Pause

Copy the contents into Notepad.

Save as Change Profile and Level.bat

Replace the file name in the script with your filename.
