  • Could someone test Sony YUV AVI playback with Vegas 9?

    Posted by Luc Enders on July 7, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    Hi,

    I reported to Sony that rendered Sony YUV AVI files are unplayable with Vegas 9 but they say they cannot repro. I created brand new clean OS and I can always repro.

    Can someone try this and tell me if they can play it?

    If they play what is the value of byte 0xBA (186) inside the avi file? The problem for me is that Vegas 9 writes 16 and Vegas 8 writes 10 in that location. I have a workaround for now to change that bit using custom program I wrote.

    I cannot reproduce the problem. I can render Sony YUV from Vegas Pro 8.0 and play it in Vegas Pro 9.0 or render from Vegas Pro 9.0 and play in Vegas Pro 9.0 without any problems.

    It will import fine in Vegas but no other player/editor. E.g. it will hang for me in WMP/MPC/KMPlayer and Tmpgenc.

    If I remove that bit it will work.

    My Sony YUV files play fine in Windows Media Player in Vista 64.

    That’s weird. I installed a brand new 64bit Vista Enterprise and when I render with Vegas 9 only installed I can’t play them back.
    I can repro this on 3 machines. With Vegas 8 they always play fine.

    I wonder if a new codec is required for the UYUV format that Sony Vegas 9 creates since 1 new bit is set. Do you have any additional related codecs installed?

    And do you know what value is created in your AVI file at that position? Or if you could drop a tiny AVI file (few microseconds long) somewhere I could take a look. That would rule out the renderer. Thanks.
