.avi help
I just got Sony vegas 6.0 and I’m very new to this program. I like to create music videos from Japanese Animtion cartoons and I wanted to learn how to use this program for once. Unfortunately, now I’m stuck at a point whenever I open up or import and .avi file onto the timeline, all I get is the audio, not the video. In the “open” window, I see something on the statistics of the avi files that says in the video section “Stream attributes could not…” Can someone please help me with this? It would be most appreciated…

Suggestion.
after you save your project you can close Vegas and reopen it . but before you open Vegas, hold the ctrl alt and shift key and then open Vegas to reset Vegas. hold the 3 keys until Vegas is completely open. -
What were the AVI’s orginally made in? I remember getting some really highres AVI’s that were made in a graphics work station. I had to download a speical decoder for that AVI codec. After I did that everything worked great.
Please note that Vegas uses other peoples encoders and decoders to work. You can code and decode almost anything as long as you have right the plugin. Real Media, QuickTime, Windows Media, and others.

I’m not really sure what the avis were originally made in, since I downloaded them from a torrent…they’re as long as a cartoon episode.
Plus I use the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP) if that helps… GSport says it needed divx 5.0, but still, this works fine with this codec in media player, quicktime, etc.

Are they AVI DIVX files? I can play DIVX files on my computer, but when I tried to open one in Vegas, I got the same result you described in your first post.

Do a search here for DivX and/or XVid. You just need the proper codec installed.

I honestly don’t know wut type of avi file it is… I’m hunching that ur talking about the video compression in the properties of the files… even though GSpot says to find Divx 5.0, most the the avis I have are video compressed XIVD files. (I’m a novice at codecs here, I just use CCCP because it has a lot of the codecs I need already)

*Sigh*, if I can’t find a way to solve this problem, I might just have to convert all my .avi episodes to WMVs instead…but that takes sooooo long and sooo much space…

Is saving an AVI file as an “AVI” file in virtual dub mod another slow alternate method of getting the video to show with the audio? If so, I don’t understand why different AVIs function differently for this onto Vegas…

Get YAAI (https://yaai.sourceforge.net/). This will tell you what codec the AVI is encoded with. Make sure you have that codec installed, and Vegas should be fine. Should being the key word.

so…if the video compression on the AVI is: xivd – XIVD MPEG-4, then should I look for an mpg4 codec?
