hiya im making a video on Sony Vegas 8 but everytime i try and open a clip it says
"An error has occured the file is an unsupported format"
the file is an mpg. file i was thinking can files be chanaged to a different format to open them can someone plz help!

Thanks

I suspect you mean the file has an extension of mpg. Which is not a format. Most likely the file is of one of a few mpeg formats (although it could be an Excel spreadsheet that some wag has renamed).
Welcome to the wacky world of codecs!
Download GSpot (google it - it's free) and load you file into it. This will tell you much more about the file. It would also be useful if you posted the source of your file.
