Don't create peak file

There has got to be an easier way to do this...
I had a video file that had a corrupted audio track (the video track was fine and that was all I wanted) and everytime I imported it into Vegas and it started to build the peak file, it crashed Vegas. I couldn't find an option to not create a peak file...and I couldn't get to the cancel button fast enough.

What I ended up doing was opening Vegas, setting a disk quota on the hard drive so I was limited to 1KB...then when Vegas tried to create the peak file, it said there wasn't enough room to do it. From there I could render the video out of Vegas.

So...is there an easier way?

Thanks!

You could disable waveform and frame display (Ctrl Shift W), import the clip, delete the audio then re-enable the display

How about right-click drag to the timeline and choose the option to only add the video?

It'll still write the peak fie when you do that. Just click "cancel" at the bottom left of the screen where you see the progress bar for the building of the peaks.

The problem was that it was a short video clip and I couldn't get Vegas to cancel the audio peaks before it had already locked up the program.
