What I was trying to do was swap the audio tracks of two copies of the same video. One copy had higher quality video but was in spanish, the other was in english but had crap quality. Sony Vegas would not allow me to import either file. Any advice?

I realise you are looking for a Vegas based solution, but if you can't find one try ffmpeg:

1. Extract english audio
ffmpeg -i english-video.mov -acodec copy -vn english.ac3

2. Replace audio
ffmpeg -i english.ac3 -i spanish-video.mov -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.mov -map 0.0 -map 1.0

I hope this helps.

What is the format of the video and audio ? Do you know why Vegas can't handle it. Do you have the right codecs for the video type ?

Hey guys, no worries. I figured it out. I was using a 32-bit version of Sony Vegas on my 64-bit PC. Everything's good now, thanks for the help you did offer.
