Sony vegas crashes when trying to import AVI (MJPEG)
Posted by Kashif Etternavn on September 4, 2010 at 4:35 pmHi, i reinstalled sony vegas but now it crashes every time i try to import footage from my casio camera.
the footage is a AVI file and in Gsnap it says that it is a MJPEG file.
The file plays perfectly in WMM, but sony vegas stops responding when i try to import it.
It worked perfectly some weeks back before i reinstalled sony vegas.

September 4, 2010 at 6:46 pmWhat version of Vegas? Only Vegas Pro 9.0 comes with an M-JPEG decoder. All other version require that you have a 3rd party M-JPEG codec installed. Also, Vegas only uses Video for Windows (VFW) codecs so if you have a DirectShow M-JPEG codec installed it will play find in Windows Media Player but will not work in Vegas.

September 4, 2010 at 7:54 pmThx for reply 😉
In Gspot i get an error meassage:
Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.
This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow. GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.
The codec was tentatively identified as:
Unknown video codec #14
Does that have something with the sony vegas problem to do?
BTW i have Sony vegas pro 9.0e

Most likely. Do you have any “codec paks” installed? Where did you get the M-JPEG codec from?
Usually cameras that shoot M-JPEG will come with software that installs the codec. You might want to check if your camera came with a CD with software on it that may have the codec you need.

September 5, 2010 at 6:08 pmWhere did you get the list of codecs? I don’t see MJPEG in that list. What makes you think it’s installed? Is GSpot working correctly now?

September 5, 2010 at 6:13 pmevery thing is alright now.
I fixed the problem by selecting “run as administartor” before starting vegas.
Now i can import footage but not drag it in to the time line. Strange :/For the list of codecs i followed a tutorial here: https://www.mathworks.ch/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/161082
