    Posted by Sarah James on December 14, 2008 at 6:28 am

    When I import an .avi file into Sony Vegas 8.0, the sound comes out all fine and all but the video part didn’t come at all, ok, installed a few dozen codecs since first few wouldn’t work, now, the video part comes out a solid color, no animation, no pictures, no NOTHING! But the sound is still fine, but I don’t even need it..

    Help?

    Vegas is a little spotty for working with video other then DV and HDV so you should get G-Spot or AVIinfo. These apps will disclose information about which codecs, both audio and video are used in a certain video file. Try G-spot first, it’s non invasive and can be run from a thumb drive.
    For loads of tools such as G-spot and AVIinfo go to videohelp.com
    Also I’d recommend that you remove all the extra codec’s you have installed.
    Try VLC (Video Lan Client) player to view the .avi files you have. It has self contained codec’s for most file types and it’s open source.
    Enjoy!
