from what i have read from others they were able to open the video in windows movie maker (running xp) save it then open it in vegas. when i click save project as it doesn't give me a option of saving in any other way besides mswmm.. i still can't open it in vegas. i saved it in the folder where the pictures are stored but when i open that folder its not in there. do i still need to get a codec or just doing something wrong again? by the way thanks for all the help so far someone should pay you all for doing their job they are no help..
