Cannot import Dolby AC3 files
I have Vegas Pro 9 (as well as, and have been loving every minute of it, until today.
A few months ago, I created some media for a client, and rendered the video as mpeg-2, and exported all the audio as Dolby AC3. It worked wonderfully, and everything went as it should.
I recently moved up to Windows 7 Pro and had to reinstall Vegas. I installed both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Vegas 9c, as well as Vegas pro 8 as my ‘plan B.’ I don’t know what has changed, but now none of the Vegas versions will accept or open any of my AC3 files. The client wants to make a new project based on the original audio, so I need to be able to open them.
Thoughts or suggestions?

I believe you need to have DVDA installed to have the AC3 license.

If all you have is the DVD you delivered, you can use File | Import | DVD Camcorder Disc… and Vegas will import your DVD with it’s AC3 audio and convert it to MPEG2 audio so that Vegas can edit it. If you don’t change it, perhaps you can really use the original AC3 file when you remake the DVD so that you don’t loose any of the original quality.

You’re welcome. I agree there is an outstanding amount of knowledgeable people here who are always willing to help. I know that I learn as much as I teach so it’s a give and take. I’m glad that worked for you.

Hey, I’m having a similar problem as well. I looked everywhere for an answer and cannot find one. Basically, I hear absolutely no audio from my clips. I import my clips from my canon vixia and when I do, the peaks are built fine and the audio meters jump, which tells me there is audio i just cant hear it. I’ve been able to work with these clips before and edit them fine. Just recently i’ve encountered this problem. I tried importing an mp3 to see if any other audio files worked and mp33 files also do not work. I really dont know why this randomly started happening, I can vaguely remember it happened in the middle of a project i was working on, I just all of a sudden couldnt hear any audio. If anybody could help, it would greatly be appreciated.

If the meters are jumping and you can’t hear audio then the problem is with your PC and not Vegas. Check that you haven’t muted your audio output in some way or turned the speaker volume down by accident.

alright thanks for the reply. For some reason, even though I turned the volume up, the program was muted in my sound mixer window. I feel stupid. thank you haha.

No need to feel stupid. We’ve all done something like this before (which is why I asked) 😉 Glad that worked.
