What is a VEGCAP file?
A VEGCAP file contains one or more references to the directory locations of .MP4 files that store video captured by MAGIX VEGAS Pro video-editing software. The captured video may be a screen recording or from a camera connected to the computer running VEGAS Pro. VEGCAP files do not contain actual video data; they store plain text.
