Which camera exactly? For example, the EX1/EX3 require either re-wrapping to MXF using the Sony utility that comes with the camera, or you need Vegas 9 for direct usage without any re-wrapping or re-encoding.

There is no difference in the files produced by either the EX1 or EX3 cameras. As Eugenia mentioned, you will have to re-wrap the .MP4 files to .MXF using Clip Browser (free software included with camera) for Vegas 8. Vegas 9 handles the .MP4 wrapper directly and omits the re-wrapping step.
