A Question about screwy .mov files
So, i have a commercial project due for a school thing tomorrow. We shot the whole thing, its kay, blah blah. One problem - 2 major scenes we shot with my iPhone 4s. It shoots in .MOV
My computer, for whatever reason, when i play it in sony vegas putting them together, the video/audio is missing each time. This wont fix, ive tried converting to other types, getting older quicktimes, etc, but nothing works. SO - if i were to render it and then play it on say a television, will it be visible there and work fine? Is it just a computer problem or will the rendering screw it up once and for all? Help!

If Handbrake doesn't work, try "Super", another video file converter I've used with great success for .MOV files.
The download link is way down at the bottom of this page: http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html
It's not the most user-friendly thing I've ever used, but it gets the job done way better than a lot I've used.
I recently shot HD video with a Panasonic Lumix camera that came out in MJPEG video format and nothing else would touch it.
"Super" did a "super" job converting it to AVI for me.
So what I'm getting from all this:
You shot a video project with different cameras and one camera, the iPhone, generated video files not compatible with Vegas. Quicktime still plays the videos fine and you claim to have tried media converters without going into specifics.
Well because I still only know half the story here, I'm going to recommend the HandBrake media converter http://handbrake.fr/

my taskbar disappeared. After i restarted my computer and tested it, i got no sound or visuals on the rendered file.
Open a new project window and put the files in question on the timeline. Give it a render and report what happens.

By "seeing" do you mean the visuals of it or the file? It knows the file is there, and it plays the audio, but instead plays a black screen for the visuals. If thats what you mean.
EDIT: The computer runs it fine, its just vegas it seems.
