  Adding audio codecs in vegas – can this be done?

  Posted by Lxmxfxd on October 19, 2005 at 9:02 pm

  I’m using vegas 6.0 – and the only codecs available are windows media 9.1 – I need to encode in 9.0 – is there a way to install older codecs so that vegas can encode in these older formats? I’ve downloaded and installed a pack from MS that includes the older codecs – is there a way to get vegas to recognize these newly installed (older) codecs?

  Thanks

  Don’t take this answer as gospel, but I doubt it. Codecs especially, once installed, update all the necessary files.

  I suppose you could always install a virtual machine and be very careful to only upgrade as far as v9. Be real tricky though.

  A whole other question is: What’s the big difference supposed to be between 9.0 and 9.1? I just tried a test render and all I can get it identified as is WMV9. Why even try to use an older, presumably inferior, codec especially these days when everyone’s got their machines updating automatically?

  The reason being that I need to merge files together and the original files are all wmv7.0 with wma 9.0. I need to merge them with a new rendered intro but they just wont merge unless the audio is 9.0 – I still can’t figure this one out.
