It just works if you have the latest version of Vegas Movie Studio 8 or 9 installed. Previous versions don't support MJPEG.

I have the same problem, and I find it strange that it was so hard to find out something about this problem. Shouldn´t this be a headline issue on Sony´s Vegas support page?

Do you have the latest version of Movie Studio 9 installed? Please install it, and then let us know if you can view the file or not.

I'm having the same problem, I have just purchased the new Vegas movie studio 9 and I'm trying to import video files from the mini disks used in my Sony camcorder, is there somewhere I can get steps for doing this as I haven't had any luck finding some.

Kath, what do you mean "mini disks from the Sony camcorder"? Is this an SDHC card and an HD camcorder? If yes, then you need to buy Movie Studio Platinum, not the plain version of Movie Studio. The Platinum version supports HD.

Sorry....:o) I'm not very good with this kind of stuff, what I mean by mini disk is the DVD disks you put in the camera, I'm placing that in the computer and trying to save the video files onto my computer so I can start editing my home videos with Vegas Movie studio 9.My Sony Camcorder doesn't have SDHC or HD written on it or in the manual so I assuming its not.

So what exactly is the problem? Do you get an error message? Also, have you upgraded to the free version 9.0b? It was released 3 days ago and fixes some MPEG problems.

Kath, have you tried File / Import / DVD Camcorder Disc ?

Thank you I have now upgraded to 9.0b.I think I better explain myself better :o). first of all I am able to view my video files through the D: via Windows media player but when I try to view and use them through Vegas movie Studio I go via the EXPLORER Tab, My computer, D: but when i click on the file nothing comes up, it's just blank, no error message, nothing. I have gone through the same process for viewing and using my still pictures which was: EXPLORER tab, My Documents, My pictures and it shows all the pictures and I'm able to drag and use them in the time line, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't do the same for my video files.
Thanks for your help chienworks I'm not very good with this stuff so excuse me if this sounds a little stupid but I tried going to file/Import/DVD Camcorder but there was no FILE option i could find through Vegas MS so I tried through MY COMPUTER, and FIRE FOX but had no luck so where is the file tab I should be going through? :o)

Try the "project media" tab, not the explorer tab. Click the open media icon on that tab instead.

Kath, there is a File menu at the top of the Vegas window, in the left corner. It's the same menu you use for opening and saving projects.

PROJECT / IMPORT DVD CAMCORDER DISK worked, Thank you both so much for your help ;o) Kath

Project? Oops. Sorry about that. I haven't used the Studio version since way back around version 3. Back then it was File. All versions of Vegas Pro call that menu File. *shrug*

Yeah, they changed it for v9...

I got Version 9.0 (Build 55) about a month ago from Amazon.com and I'm using a Canon S3IS with no problems with video from this camera.
