audio problem
I have captured a video from a DV tape. When I move the (avi) clip to the timeline to edit, there is no audio (no track in the audio portion, and no sound when I play it). Also, if I just open the avi file in a video player, there is no sound. However, if I reopen the capture window in Vegas 7.0, and select the avi clip, it opens it in the burn-to-tape mode (my camera is no longer connected). If I play it there, the audio is perfect. Help, please.

Within the explorer window when you have the relevant file selected, Does it say under the audio description “Audio Stream attributes cannot be determined?
if this is the case there are many variable which could be your problem.1: When capturing make sure you that you are compressing the audio. and that you have the relevant codec installed.Uncompressed,can cause what is known as a buffer overflow without the applicapable ram.
If the audio is compressed, do an analysis of the audio stream to determine the compression of the source! then install the codec. You can probably find it by googling it!2: Check your plug-ins, The relevant one might be missing or corrupt, If this is the case re-install the program.
3: Make sure that your version of vegas is “legit” and that it isnt some bootleg version of the pre-release beta. These are riddled with bugs and to the untrained eye looks legit but allot of the plug-ins and link (.dll) files are missing!
Another thing some cameras require their own software to capture all the data required. When this is the case video editing software that support capture can run into this problem.

Thanks, Jack, for the advice. Under the file, it says the audio is: 44,100 Hz, 16 bit, Stereo, 01:01:54;13, Uncompressed. Since it has this information, I don’t know if the codec/plug-in parts of your advice apply. I think my copy of Vegas is legit. I have had it a while, and don’t remember where I bought it. It says it is version 7.0d. I can try reinstalling it from the box, but it has always worked fine before. I can try capturing with the audio compressed, to see if that makes a difference. I can also install the software that came with the camera, but it says I don’t need it for Windows. I will try these things and get back to the forum with the results.

If that is the case then the codecs are installed. but you could be having trouble with your audio device drivers installed on your computer. To check see if all these devices are working properly. Just go to control panel>sound & audio devices and just do a troubleshoot if there is a problem!
