Is the file on a DVD right now?
Is it a mini-DVD or a 4.7GB DVD?
Have you tried using the DVD Camcorder Import feature? File->Import->DVD Camcorder Disc
Have you Googled ".vro programs"?
hi whis kid
The file is on a 4.7gb dvd I have tried to cut the clips in Vegas and when I go to deleat it takes the whole lot out.
I also looked up vro files on google and found a free program which I downloaded but it left its trade mark on the clips, The trouble is they are videos of our grandson in S.A and the wife is given me hell
Thanks alot
Dave
That's usually in demo software. That goes away when you buy it.

Have you copied the file over to the computer and renamed the file so it looks like this: XXXXXXXX.mpg
This method usually works for most, but be sure to make a copy of the original file just in case the audio is lost from this name change because this is known to occur when messing with files names.
After changing the file extension to .mpg have you tried opening it using Sony Vegas?
Let me know how it goes...
Best of luck! ![]()
hi whiz kid
As I am older in years and born BC before computers can you explain how to chang the file
Once you have copied the videos to the computer's hard drive, go to where you saved those files and make sure they have a file name such as: XXXXXXXXX.vro where the Xs is the name of the file. Once you find the file, right click it and select "Rename". Only delete the ending, .vro, and replace it with .mpg then "Enter". So the file name should look like: XXXXXXXXX.mpg
P.S. Make sure you do not change the file names directly from the disc! Copy to the computer first!
After renaming the file, open it using Sony Vegas and let me know how it goes.

It can be open after changing the extension to xxxx.mpg but my problem is.... the file is too big and used up 1.4GB for a 20 minutes video. How do i compress the video become 200-500MB so that i can burn in into CD.
Video does not look well on a CD and you will be very disappointed. Couldn't you just copy to a DVD and get better quality?
I have try to copy to a DVD but the video getting problem during trancoding to the DVD. I only getting to heard the sound but no video... sigh!!! watse a piece of DVD. Anywhere will get it burn as a data file next time...
Are you saying the last time you tried to transfer to DVD, you could only hear the sound but couldn't see the video?
If so, your problems will be worse if you try to transfer to CD.
Try this:
1) Buy a DVD authoring program.
2) Buy a DVD+/-RW burner, if you don't have one already.
3) Buy a DVD and burn the video.
Hint: Have you tried Googling *How to Burn a DVD*?
Hi whizkid It worked great be changeing the file name thanks to you the wife is pleased. will that work with audio files as well changeing them from ape to mpeg Thanks again Dave
It uses .wma or .mp3
VRO files are most commonly created by Panasonic camcorders.
As others have said, they are somewhat similar to mpg files so if you rename the file to mpg some (not all) video programs can read them.
The proper way to convert these VRO files is to use the Panasonic movie editing software that came with the camcorder. There are different versions. In my version (Panasonic DVD-MovieAlbumSE) you load the disc into your computer, right click on a movie clip (or the whole day at the top of the screen), then click export. The software then creates standard mpgs that can be read by almost anything.
