Vegas and .mov files

[imseth]

Will .mov files play in vegas? if not then what format files do they take?

 

[David Jimerson]

Yes, if you have the codec installed. .mov is only a wrapper. It's the codec which matters.

How do I get the codec?

 

[Mark Seibert]

Do a search on the internet for QuickTime, and look for the free download. That should get you going

How do I get the codec?

It depends on which codec you need. For example, the Quicktime DVCPRO 50 codec can be downloaded from Matrox. Avid has free DVCPRO HD Quicktime codecs for download.

All of the typical codecs (DV, Sorensen, etc.) are already ready to go in Vegas.
