Need Support for VP20

You have influence Wolfgang, I hope you are more proactive about getting more compatibility when not on the public forum.

Nice that you think that a moderator has here such an influence. What is wishfull thinking.

I noticed it with the the first beta release of OBS 29. The 3 other editors I use had compatibility straight away.

Sorry, but I think that nobody can can state anything about the compatibility of upcoming, future formats.

If those files are Dash files as it was mentioned here, and it seems to be true that this footage must be converted to be used in Vegas. I do not have access to this footage, so only @John-Wittle can test conversions as it was suggested by @andyrpsmith. I wish John that he has success.

He's not alone; I've posted about this in the past. When we download files from Vimeo that have been streamed and recorded, Vegas just can't edit them. Vimeo isn't exactly an esoteric platform and MPEG-DASH isn't some oddball format either. It's reasonable to ask that their support be added.. been a long time coming.

The reason I'm even looking at this now is because I just ran into the identical problem.. sure, I'll wrap it with FFMPEG (-vcodec copy -acodec copy.. super fast), but it's a PIA and something not everyone will readily know how to do.

It's not such a common format- I'd put feature requests for additional formats here so they don't get lost.

After much frustration and help (from this forum and others) Vegas recommended using Handbrake (free converter). So the fact they acknowledge the codec seems odd they cant just make a fix.

Maybe they can, but it isn't high on the priority list of things they have to fix/optimize/update/etc.

@John-Wittle You don't need to do that, and also you don't want to do that. It's destructive and slow. You just need to rewrap which does not re-encode and alter your original video quality.

Shutter encoder is what I use. In this example I transcode the audio while copying the video, but for Vimeo I believe Vegas can read the audio codec, so that's not necessary here

Should not have to do this, like I said in this thread or another, search this forum, the same complaints about this date back a decade. They couldn't be bothered making it work. If you were to listen to Reyfox's reasoning, they were too busy for the last 10 years to add this feature, and I still think it's possible if they had fixed this other segmented video like OBS's new fragmented MP4 would also work, they will now play catchup to fix OBS... or they just won't bother.

so that issue is an audio glitch? nothing to do with the video? Sorry I am a novice and learning.

@John-Wittle Sometimes Video streams use incompatible audio codecs so in the above it will copy the video and re-encode the audio, but if video contains an audio track Vegas can read then audio and video can be copied and no re-encoded is needed, only rewrapping, and looks like this
