<p>My system crashed and i reinstalled windows, including Vegas.  Projects that included 3GP files (GSpot says that the codec is MP4V), now cant link the 3GP files.  Vegas says files are offline, i search and relink, but in the end it gives an error and files stay offline.</p>

<p>I have reinstalled (and rebooted) Cole2k, VLC, XVid and still no results.  </p>

<p>VLC opens the files, no problem.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>

<p>PS:  yes, 3GP did open up before - the generated sfk files are right alongside the 3GP files.</p>

# Problems opening 3GP files in Sony Vegas 12 64bit

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-02-14)

My system crashed and i reinstalled windows, including Vegas. Projects that included 3GP files (GSpot says that the codec is MP4V), now cant link the 3GP files. Vegas says files are offline, i search and relink, but in the end it gives an error and files stay offline.

I have reinstalled (and rebooted) Cole2k, VLC, XVid and still no results.

VLC opens the files, no problem.

Any suggestions?

PS: yes, 3GP did open up before - the generated sfk files are right alongside the 3GP files.

I finally got back in working order by also installing AviDemux and Quicktime.

CONCLUSION: Vegas is capable of opening 3GP files AS LONG it has the right codecs, which Quicktime seems to supply when installed alongside other codec packs.
