AVI Files
Hey everyone,
So, I recently reformatted my computer, but now my Sony Vegas won’t recognize the video portions of any of my avi files. I find it incredibly odd because before the reformat, .avi files were the ONLY thing that worked for my SV7.
Please help.

It sounds like you haven’t reinstalled the codecs the AVIs were made with (either at all or properly). It’s important to note that AVI is only a format wrapper (like MOV) so AVI files can contain video in any one of very many codecs … if AVIs were made with a codec that isn’t installed on the machine, the machine won’t be able to play those AVIs.

Download a free utility called GSpot and open the AVI file with it. It will tell you what codec you need and if it’s installed and working. If you need to install a codec, download it from the manufacture’s web site. Never install a code-pak. Only get the single codec that you need from a reputable source.
