Problem with audio on sony vegas’s .avi clips
Hello,
I’ve been working on Vegas for almost a year, and today, I decided to edit some clips that recorded (.AVI, with fraps), everything worked fine (last time I worked with them was 2-3 months ago), until today, when I opened the clip on Vegas, that’s what happened:
Video plays perfectly, but the audio is like it’s bugged, it just sounds for 2-3 seconds (as seen in the image).
After a couple of hours looking on internet for a solution, I reached “GSpot” and the results are those:
I thought that maybe the problem was caused because the aundio was on “pcm” format, but I have changed it to AAC, AC3, MP2 and it’s still the same, even in some cases the audio file dissapeared.
Another thing; properties of the clip shows like the audio isn’t processed: (sorry, the pic is in spanish)
When adding another audio(mp3) after a “bugged” .avi clip, it’s like both audios come together and the “bugged” one starts sounding at the same time with the new one(mp3), but the mp3 one sounds like it’s duplicated.
When I work with vegas with other files, it just works perfectly.
I tried to convert the .avi to wma, so I opened the .avi file > erased bugged audio > opened .wma. That lets me work perfectly, except when I click “render as…”. Vegas crashes and the error report says:

Fraps is junk and has been for a while.
Try Merillis Action – https://www.mirillis.com/en/products/action.html ,Xsplit, or Shadowplay (NV card needed).
Apps like Mirillis action will use hardward functions like Intel® Quick Sync Video, NVIDIA NVENC, and AMD APP to off load recording during gameplay.

Those FRAPS captured AVI files is your enemy. A very unstable and crappy

I’ve used Fraps in the past without issue, but I agree with Aaron that Mirilli’s Action is excellent–the one I currently use. Lots more options and never an issue with Vegas.

First of all, thank you very much. I’ve tried Action! Mirillis and it’s x1000 times better than fraps haha.
But, I have to record at MP4/1080p, and there’s no problem, but when I record in .avi format, files has the same bugs that I had with fraps’ files.. So.. maybe I have .avi codecs “bugged”? Is there a way to “install” new .avi codecs? Or “repair” Windows’s ones?
Thanks again 🙂

Both Fraps and Action have their own codec. You can see if there are later versions. However, the problem may be that your system is simply not robust enough for real time 1080 avi recording. The file sizes will be much greater than recording to MP4, which translates into lots of writing to disc. If your system isn’t sufficiently robust, you may be getting lots of dropped frames. Like I said, I’ve never had problems with either Fraps or Action when recording to avi. I would try reducing the frame rate, frame size, or both and see if your recordings are then successful. If so, then you need to consider doing some upgrades to your system.
