AVI with mp2 (!) audio opens video-only in Vegas – no audio track
Does Vegas not recognize mp2 audio? Should I search for a plugin of some sort that would add that capacity?
I just realized I can (I think) open the file in an audio editor, and save it as mp3, then combine the video track with the mp3 audio file.
Still, my original question remains.
DATA:
Audio : 117 MB, 256 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x50 = Mpeg-1 audio Layer 2 (MP2), CBR, Supported
(Video : 25.0 fps, 720*576 (5:4), DX50 = DivXNetworks Divx v5, Supported)

Yes it does but not in an AVI file. It supports mpeg 2 audio in mpeg files.

In general, Vegas does not support, nor like, nor work well with DivX or XviD files. Stop using this format your you will stop having problems like this.

Hi,
I recently just bought a new Comp. window XP SP2 x64 to use Vegas since i have problem rendering out 32 Bit with Window XP 32 Bit (Memory issue) and also updated Vegas to 9.0d..somehow after drag my HDV file to timeline (.m2t) i don’t see Audio and once i hit play Vegas crash with error “Vegas has stopped working…” and ask to report the error…some other files also with .m2t, i see audio but also crash..never have this problem with window 32 Bit..Why with 64 Bit?
anyone knows how to solve this? please help!

I am having the same problem…except in Vegas Pro 9.0e.
Just got an HVR-7ZU and recorded my first clips to a CF card. The clips played back fine in the camera, but when I transferred to the PC (an HP Z800 Xeon, 64-bit Win XP) and dropped them on the timeline in Vegas Pro 9.0e (64-bit version), I see a flat line in the audio track and when I try to play it, Vegas crashes. If I mute the audio track the video track will play with no crash.I’ve also tried capturing the video from the tape, using the Vegas HDV Capture, which captures the video as .m2t files. Same issue with flatline audio, but playing the clip in the Vegas timeline doesn’t make Vegas crash.
Anyone have an idea of what’s going on here?

Are you running the 64-bit version of Vegas? If so that may be your problem. According to the system requirements, it isn’t supported on WinXP 64-bit… have to go to Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 to use the Vegas 64-bit.
I was having exactly the same problem you report. I uninstalled Vegas Pro 9.0 64-bit and installed the 32-bit version. That solved the problem. The .m2t files now have the audio and play fine… no crashing.

Hi Denise,
I finally talked to Sony rep about the issue NO AUDIO present (.m2t file) in Vegas x64 Window XP Pro 64bit and the result is:
VEGAS only support for Vista & Win 7…in win XP 64bit somehow Vegas don’t see Main Concept MPEG codec therefore we don’t see AUDIO…i tried so many ways and finally have to work around like this:
load CAP file .m2t into Premiere Pro and just render out the AUDIO (Mp3) then after import a .m2t file to Vegas time line, i delete the flat line AUDIO track and replace w the Mp3 (make sure they’re in sync)
then edit on..by the way any file render out with save as type: Main Concept MPEG2 etc…when importing back into Vegas will have flat line AUDIO…the only choice i find is save as type: Sony AVC…. and template: AVCHD…will work normally when importing back into Vegas.
Boy,it’s a long walk..hope it helps..if you or others have better
ways please,please email me at

thanks in advance. -
Thanks for fast response Denise..i went thru that
i am a Vegas user for many years (32bit) and having issue with render with setting 32bit Video level..and full in properties page (doing Blu-ray proj) Vegas keep givin error system low on memmories…
read on forum and see bunch of people having the same problem and suggest should use Vegas x64…
i then buy another computer (friend put together, cost $3,500) without knowing Vegas x64 only support Vista & Win 7…when found out i already loaded 400G of HD footage into C Drive and bunch of useful softwares…i got lots of plugins for Vegas and affraid that not work for Vista or win7 so i installed vegas x32 loaded with all plugins i have..NO PROBLEM with flat Audio at all..but still MEMORIES issue..
Finally i decided to clean uninstall and install Vegas x64 and that bring me up to my earlier post.
I realize that SONY not guarranty Vegas x64 will work in XP x64 but i don’t have much time so then just Work Around.
any suggestion?
Thanks -
Nhat,
I have also been using the 32-bit Vegas on WinXP 64 for a number of years (since version 5…totally pre-64bit Vegas) but when I got a new WinXP 64 workstation, I just went ahead and installed the 64-bit Vegas, without looking at the Vegas Pro 9.0 box sitting under my desk which lists the system requirements. I didn’t run into any problems until I got the .m2t files to work with. I had started to go down the same workaround road you tried… rendering the audio track out as .mp3, though I was doing it in Sound Forge. I think that would have worked, but the nature of the work I’m doing is making a lot of short clips for the web from the longer files. I think that having the audio an actual separate file would make that process pretty tricky. One of the other things I tried, that didn’t work, was using VLC player to convert the .m2t files to something I could play and hear in Vegas. I’m not sure if that didn’t work because I was not selecting the right combination of settings, or that the VLC convert function doesn’t work well… I found a number of comments to that effect on the web.
I’m hoping that I won’t run into the low memory issues you are reporting. I’m not doing any Blu-ray work (yet, anyway), so hopefully I will be ok on that count.
I suppose the real answer here is to upgrade the operating system.

Denise,
not because doing blu-ray that will have Memories issue, but editing HD file with couple transistion & FX and set in properties window 32Bit instead of 8 Bit then Vegas would crash somewhere around 50% when rendering..lots of people experience that issue..i do weddings and commercials and time is pressed so for now i guest just have to work around..or may be Sony people will look into this..may be!
