Unable to open an avi file :(
Hello,
I am unable to open an avi file of a movie in Vegas Pro 12 for editing.
It’s a compressed avi file, mpeg1 video codec, 352×240 frame size, 1152 video frame bit rate, 29.97 frame rate, mp2 audio codec, 128 audio bit rate, 44.1KHz sampling rate.
How do I determine the codecs I need to add to Vegas Pro to open avi files of these properties, and where can I download them?

1. DO NOT install a Codec Pack made for gaming, like K-Lite. It will replace otherwise overwrite the good encoders installed by Vegas.
2. Use MediaInfo to see what is in the AVI container.

This avi file will open in VP8 on an older Win XP 32 bit system.
Is the problem due to the fact that I have VP12 64 bit on Win 7?
I read this thread….

and Im wondering if installing the codec suggested in the thread will solve the probem…Thanks.

Vic,
I recently had the same problem. When I converted
the AVI file to an MP4 file Vegas accepted it. When
I initially tried to put the AVI file on the timeline
Vegas rejected it. The converter I used was the
Pazera Free Video to iPod Converter. If that works
let us know. And oh I’m using Vegas Pro 12 like you. -
Peter, I converted the avi file to another avi file using the default NTSC DV codec on the Any Video Converter app.
It’s a workaround but at least the new avi file now opens up in Vegas 12.
