Can’t open AVI file in vegas pro 12, likely due to encoding?
Hey all, I got the call of duty tactical camera for $40 on kijiji (think Canadian cragslist), and while the manual says it encodes with H.264, and it’s in avi format, vegas says “none of the files added could be opened” or something along those lines.
I used mediainfo, and it seems to be in H264 but using CABAC? Here is the full info it gave out.
So, any idea what codec I need or how to get it to import? Combined Community Codec Pack has worked for darned near everything up til now.

IIRC, I solved my h.264-AVI-Vegas problems with x264vfw64: https://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/files/x264vfw64/

Yes, that’s the solution. Windows does not provide a codec for AVC/H.264 in an AVI container so you must download and install one yourself.

Didn’t work for me, I guess I’ll have to use a video converter, sigh, it’s going to take even longer to render a video now, hopefully it doesn’t ruin the quality.
There is software that call of duty provides, maybe that will output it in something vegas can read.
edit: oh man, first It has to copy it somewhere and make a preview, sheesh.
edit2: ok so you need to exit and start it again for it to work, and even then you can’t even split the video clip, man that’s garbage lol

I would use a tool like AviDemux 2.5 to convert the video to M-JPEG with PCM audio. This will edit smoothly in Vegas Pro.
Make sure that you use AviDemux 2.5 and NOT 2.6 (which for some reason created MJPEG files that Vegas can’t read)
