# msvpvf
C/C++ port of [msvpvf](https://archive.org/details/msvpvf-1.3-movie-studio-vegas-pro-version-faker-msvpvf-updated-to-1.31-focus-on-vegas)

## What is this??
msvpvf is a tool used to "downgrade" VEGAS Pro project files, written entirely in C. It has no runtime libraries, making it incredibly lightweight. On macOS, the CLI compiles to 50 KB, and on Windows the GUI app is only 19 KB.

Currently, the GUI doesn't look that great. Making pretty apps with `windows.h` is not the easiest job in the world; if someone is willing enough to make it look prettier, be my guest.

It is based on an old tool under the same name that was written in C#/.NET, but the original website is now down and it hasn't been maintained in over 2 years.

## Compilation
```
git clone https://github.com/mrpapersonic/msvpvf
cd msvpvf
make
```

NOTE: if you are using Windows, there is a GUI available. To compile it, use `make gui`.
