Receiving Error When Trying To Import Media

Hello! I'm new to the forum and also new to Sony Vegas. A few months ago, I purchased, "Movie Studio Platinum, Version 14" and I'm having problems when trying to import a video. I casually create machinima for video games such as "The Sims" and when trying to import my video to Studio, I receive an Error that says,

"Warning: An error occurred while opening one or more files. An error occurred while opening a codec".

I'm not sure as to what that may mean. My vids are in MP4 format .avi and I run a Windows10. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What is MediaInfo saying about the used files that gives the error?

@Vliegvisser I don't have mediaInfo installed on my PC and didn't know that it existed.

Only when you provide some info. Download MediaInfo from the link Vliegvisser gave you and come back with the necessary details of what your problem mp4 and avi files actually contain.

I think Debbie is not knowing that .avi or .mp4 are only boxes that also hold audio- and video files.
What the type of videofile in that box is tells you Media Info and maybe that it is good to know that a video edit program as Vegas does not work with every possible type of video file.
So it is for helpers needed to know exactly what type of videofiles in those boxes you are working with.
