LordMersey Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 This should really be in chit chat. What you need to do is put the disc back into the camera go on to vegas then import media from disc. Should sort that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I use a panasonic one. They are fantastic but I have the same problem as you when I put the disc straight into the computer (though, I often don't finalise it before I do. What you can do Is import the file like said, or copy the file of the disc and use VLC to convert it to another file type. That should solve your problem.

Revolver Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I never knew VLC could convert... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 If it's any help, try changing .voc to .mpg. Not sure if that will work, but it might just do it. I would of thought Vegas could finalise to Mpegs anyway. So this is probably your best bet, unless it's to work on DVD players i guess.

So this is probably your best bet, unless it's to work on DVD players i guess..voc is a different format to .mpg designed to work specifically on dvd players. It is easily convertible if you have the right program (pretty sure vlc works with that format, if not super will and both programs are free). What I suggest you do in future though, is set the camera so it records to an easily editable file type such as VR and then import it using the software provided with the camera or just change the file to .mpg as VR is a compatible file for this transformation.
