Problems when Sony Vegas dealing with MP4 files

The reason of the error lays in the video format codec parameters. As it mentioned not all MP4 files are supported by Sony Vegas, some special mp4, such as mp4 (avc video codec, aac audio codec) videos.
What's video format can import and edit in Sony Vegas Pro?
Well, surprising if you're not already a Vegas Pro user anyway. These include old standby formats like DV (either AVI or MOV) and HDV as well as others which are less commonly used as source footage such as MPEG-2 and WMV, some types of MPEG-4, and others.
You just have to install these two codec files and then it should fix that problem.
