Activity Forums VEGAS Pro screen movie from Second Life

    I recorded a meeting in Second Life using their built in screen movie maker with the setting at uncompressed frames. Now i have a nice big (4GB) .avi file that looks great in the Windows Media player, but won’t open in Vegas, so I can’t edit it or use it. Must be a codec problem, right? But how do I solve it, especially as it would be very hard to re-record?

    thanks,

    There are programs out there to portend to change a file from one format to another. You might be able to change your file (whatever it is) to one that Vegas likes.

    Hi,
    I tried this myself to see what happens. My file(uncompressed avi) opened in Vegas. It was not a huge file…I only recorded a few seconds. I’m using Vegas 5 on an old dell. Also, I was able to open the file in quicktime pro and export it compressed. Don’t know if any of this helps. maybe burn the file to a dvdr and see if anyone else can convert it for you on another machine or with another nle
    Cheers

    What worked is opening in QT pro and exporting as .mov which opened in Vegas.
