  .AVI file not opening in Vegas but opens in Sound Forge

  Posted by Joao Carlos schwalbach on January 23, 2013 at 6:39 pm

  Hello,

  I have this .AVI file that won’t open in Vegas 10. It gives me an error of unsupported format.
  But if I load the same .AVI in Sound Forge, it opens just fine and I can even watch the movie in the preview window.
  I don’t get it, why vegas can’t open a file that sound forge opens?

  I need to edit this film for a montage. Can anyone help?

  Kind regards,
  joni

  Odd!
  Well,you can render it out from soundforge to another AVI
  file with the same specifications, it will then be able
  to open and edit in Vegas.

  Well… if you are using Vegas Pro 10 64-bit and Sound Forge which is 32-bit and you only had the 32-bit codec for the video installed, that would explain why the 64-bit Vegas Pro can’t open it but the 32-bit Sound Forge can.
