How to use movie mode files

A friend took some funny 20 sec clips on his digital camera (Canon SD400 I think) and gave me the files named MVI_xxxx etc.

I'm a newbie to Vegas 4.0 but have made a couple video projects with JPEGS and .WAV files but couldn't get these files to work.

What's the secret to using these type of files?

Thanks!!

You need to install an .
Note: this is a direct link to the exe file for the codec.

Your link just goes to the Sony Download page. No codec.

Thanks... I'm behind you guys on knowledge. I've installed this but it's now not obvious what I do from here. Do I use this program to open/convert the camera files to those that Vegas can read?

Sorry to be a pain, but addtional insights are appreciated. I get some 'are your sure you want to' type of messages so just want to be certain I haven't messed up.

Thanks again for the help!

Installing the MJPEG codec allows you to use those files from within Vegas... no conversion is required.
