Imported video having troubles in Vegas 8 Pro

[stantheman1976]

I've got a clip someone downloaded to MPEG from Youtube I need to incorporate in a video for them. The original clips plays fine but when I bring it into Vegas it freezes and green blobs show up all over. Anyone had this experience before or know anything I can do to make it work? I'm attaching a screenshot from gspot showing the file info. It's a h.264 MP4 so I know it's not the least bit ideal but as I said, I was sent the video and had no control over the format.

Media Info will probably give you better information, but my reading of g-spot is that the use downloaded the file as an mp4, and changed the file extension to mpg. It is not an mpg file. I would use Xvid4PSP to change it to a more Vegas friendly format (DV AVI is best) and go from there.

Thanks. I tried converting it to all the lossless/less lossy AVI codecs and when I try to import Vegas only sees the audio track, not the video. I'm not a fan of using youtube videos since they weren't meant to be usd this way. I already told the person that I might not be able to include this so it's not a huge deal. I just figured I'd try what I could to make it work.
