  • AVI Files were working, Now they are Not

    I have an issue with AVI videos no longer showing up. I didn’t realize until now that AVI is technically not supported which really seems kind of crazy since it is one of the most common formats out there. And why can you export to WMV but it isn’t a supported import format?

    Well AVI was importing correctly to Vegas 9 and I created some movies rendered them in different formats, all was working well. Then for some strange reason the next morning when I opened up Vegas after shutting down the pc, the AVI videos are no longer showing up and I haven’t changed a darn thing.

    Maybe it is a simple fix but I have read about everything I could possibly find on this issue and they were all downloading codecs and what not which I have already done. Installed them, didn’t work, uninstalled them etc.

    Is there a simple fix here or does AVI simply not compatible? I am at a loss?

    I appreciate any help anyone can afford to give me.

    BTW downloaded K-Lite, and all the other one’s people recommend on here and other places. I am just wondering if it is some sort of setting. I just don’t get why it did work and now it doesn’t?

    How are they not showing up. On the timeline? In the project media? On the hard drive where they were captured to? If you captured to an external drive is it still available to the computer?

    Here this will probably explain it all. Forget trying to type stuff. Video works wonders ;). Thanks for the assistance.

    I see your media is on your D: drive. Is that an internal or external drive? Or is it a partition?

    Partition. I try to keep only OS stuff on C Partition and put everything else on D partition. I do not use an External HD for editing and pulling video off. I only use an External once I have edited the movies and then transfer them over to the External.

    Thanks!

    Just read on another forum about someone having his media show up as “off line’. He reinstalled the software and cleared it up.

    Well I solved the problem as nothing else was working. So I finally just reinstalled ever stinkin video plyaer, converter I had. Uninstalled Quicktime, Real Plyaer, Ojosoft, JV Player, Uninstalled Sony Vegas. Rebooted. Downloaded FFDShow and it finally worked! Man absolutely crazy that downloading soemthing affected the whole stinkin thing.

    So now I will systematically Reinstall the uninstalled programs and see if I can pinpoint which one is causing the hang up.

    Thanks for the info and ideas guys.
