  • cant import particular avi to vegas 10

    Posted by Jake Reborn on April 16, 2011 at 11:19 am

    hello all.

    I’m using Sony Vegas 10 and I cant import a particular avi file.

    When I try, no video shows up, no audio shows up.

    Is there anyway to import or do i have to convert?

    If I have to convert can you give me best quailty settings to use in “Xilisoft” or “Ojosoft”.

    When I try to convert it allways turns out crapy.

    Thanks in advance, J.

    [jake reborn] “When I try, no video shows up, no audio shows up.”

    Usually this means that you don’t have the proper codecs installed. Try installing x264vfw codec and see if that helps. There is a free utility called GSpot that will tell you not only what codec the file needs (which you already know) but if the codec is installed.

    Thanks for your responce John.

    I have downoaded and installed the codec, still not working.

    G-Spot tells me i the codec is installed.

    Should i perform a fresh install of all my codecs?

    How do i do that?

    thanks again, J.

    [jake reborn] “G-Spot tells me i the codec is installed.”

    What codec does GSpot say it is and are you using the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vegas Pro 10?

    G-Spot says:

    H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

    and I am using 64bit Vegas

    [jake reborn] “and I am using 64bit Vegas”

    There’s your problem right there. You will need to install the 64-bit version of those codecs which probably don’t exist. Try using the 32-bit version of Vegas Pro and see if it makes a difference (I bet it does).
