HEVC file import w/ multiple audio tracks

Hey guys, new to the forums but been around Vegas for a year or so

Hoping this will be an easy question..

I am recording my desktop using OBS. I'm using the NVIDIA NVENC HVEC codec, and I have OBS recording two separate audio tracks. One track for desktop sounds, and the other for microphone.

When I get my file out, I can tell there is two separate audio tracks when I go to play it back inside a previewer like VLC media player.

But when I import the file into Vegas and drag it onto the timeline, it only shows me one audio track. If I look in the properties of the file, Vegas only recognizes audio track 1.

If I use the NVIDIA NVENC H.264 codec, it works exactly as I want inside Vegas, giving me the two separate audio tracks.

 

So my question is simple... is there a way to get Vegas to see the separate audio tracks for files using the HEVC codec?

 

I'm on latest Vegas Pro, Version 20.0 Build 214. Windows 10 OS, RTX 4070. Also should mention, I put the files into the *.mp4 format. They technically get recorded into *.mkv, then OBS remuxs it into *.mp4

Isn't latest VP 20 build 370? Not sure if that addresses this issue but it fixes many others.

One other idea is to see if unchecking legacy HEVC in preferences/ file io helps.

Ahhh thank you very much, unchecking the legacy HEVC did the trick!

And yes latest is 370, looks like the update prompt timed out when I walked away earlier whoops!

I signed up an account on this site just to say THANK YOU so much!! it worked! "unchecking legacy HEVC in the menu preferences > file I/O"!!

before this fix, I was forced to use the H264 encoder instead of HEVEC in OBS just to work around importing 3 audio tracks from the video into Vegas Pro but not anymore! 😍
