    I’ve tried to install multiple codecs like K-lite , xvid , matroska… but i sill can’t import these type of files into my project. I actually managed to change something in Sony Vegas plugins folder and i managed to import them but they would be all green screens anyways.

    Thanks for reading and i would like to hear your opinions.

    Because of this line:
    “Bit depth: 10 bits”

    But since it is looking that you are trying to rip/edit a commercial TV series (Steins Gate S01E02 – Paranoia of Time Leaps), I think this thread is against the forum’s TOS.

    And also you need to get rid of those codecs you recently installed,
    Those will do you more harm than good!
