Vegas 8 won't open mts files?

[tchambers]

I have a paid version of vegas 8 and I cannot the same mts files or mpeg 2 files that I can in Vegas 7.0. When I open the components directory in 8, it appears that the same mpeg dll files are the same as they are in 7. I cannot play the files in the preview window, open them or add them to the timeline? Any ideas?

Do you get an error message or any other reaction ?
Do you drag and drop to the timeline ?

More details required.

Yes I get an error message that it cannot open the file. It will not let me drag and drop the file. I go back into 7 and I can do both

What, exactly, is the error message ? Post a screenshot if you can be bothered typing it out. But give it word for word.

[tchambers]

an error occurrd while opening one or more files, The file is an unsupported format.

Nevermind. You already know about the Sony only MTS file issue.

Not sure what you mean, this is a sony mts file I am trying to open, and it will open in Vegas 7.0e?

So use version 7. I haven't upgraded to 8 yet because there is no compelling reason to. Is there anything in 8 that you absolutley have to use ?

I guess it just bugs me that I have something that is not workig correctly and I paid for it. I just wondered if anybody else had ran across this?
