C port of msvpvf
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.
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.
There are 3 generations of modern Vegas project files:
| Gen 1 | Gen 2 | Gen 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 8.0 - 11.0 | 12.0 - 14.0 | 15.0 - Now |
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.

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