  • Missing MP3 codec on render

    Posted by Ivan Stevanovic on June 2, 2009 at 9:20 am

    Hi everyone!

    Lately I’ve been having this problem where I can’t render video with MP3 audio, although I have a codec installed.

    On render, a message is thrown stating “An error occured while opening a codec.”
    For that matter, none of the audio compression formats work, except for PCM.

    I’ve tried reinstalling the MP3 codec, Vegas, selecting lowest possible quality but none of that helped.

    There’s not much information about this issue on the internet.

    I’m forced to render with PCM as audio and then compressing just audio in another program such as VirtulDub.
    It’s very time consuming.

    Using:
    – Sony Vegas Pro 9
    – latest ffdshow codecs pack
    – latest Fraunhofer MP3 encoder

    Vegas comes with it’s own MP3 encoder. You probably messed things up by installing one of your own. I would just uninstall your MP3 codec and re-install Vegas so that it can re-establish it’s own codecs and everything will probably work fine after that.

    Hi again and thanks dor the reply.

    Already tried uninstalling all mp3 codecs and reinstalling Vegas, but to no avail.
    Switched back to Vegas 8 and everything is working OK. Guess I’m staying w it.

    Cheers!
