7 msvpvf is a tool used to "downgrade" VEGAS Pro project files, written entirely in C. It has no runtime libraries, making it incredibly lightweight. Binaries for OS X and Windows are less than a megabyte in size. 9 but it's horribly slow for what it does (set some magic bytes at some offsets)

20 Any version in Gen 3 cannot be ported to Gen 2, and Gen 2 cannot be ported to Gen 1. That's just too complicated for a simple bit modifier. **However**, any file created in an older Vegas will work in a newer one. 18 I haven't used any Vegas version after 14, so I have no idea if this even works
19 for newer versions anymore.
