Sony Vegas 8.0c Vista Launch Problems

[Sebastian Alvarez]

I would check with either Toshiba or Microsoft to see if you can downgrade for free to Windows XP, even if you have to pay for the shipping of the CD. I had Vista installed for two months, and I’m good with computers, but Vista for now is junk. Parts of the new interface are pretty, but its performance is a disaster. It’s much slower than XP on everything, and has lots of problems doing file operations. You’d be much better off installing XP and then Vegas again.

Having similar problem (including the lack of response from Sony) on an HP Pavilion Slimline desktop (purchased new in October with Vista Home Premium pre-installed). Installed Vegas 8.0 and got error. Then downloaded and installed 8.0c update, but with no change. After trying many other things ended up reverting to a previous restore point (thereby taking version back to 8.0 as seen below).

The only difference is I’m not getting the I/O message – here are the details from the error dialog:

Found some info in another forum that helped me – here’s the link https://dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=104099

Basically the other post says there’s a problem with the AVI plugin. Since I’m not currently using any AVI files I was able to simply remove the aviplug.dll file from the FileIO folder and everything started working fine.

Don’t know if this will work for you, but it solved weeks of aggravation for me.

Thanks so much, Bob, Vegas now works great. I am a much happier video editor now! 🙂

The best work around seemed to be:

1) Go to the Vid-Cap Plug In Folder and copy aviplug.dll
2) Go to the I/O Input Folder and replace the exisiting aviplug.dll with the one from the Vid-Cap folder (make a back up of the original first)
3) Run Vegas

Here’s another update. I finally gat a reponse from Sony after I told them how I got the app running. It turns out my son did need to use AVI files. The “fix” allow Vegas to run, but the AVI files would only come in as audio, so I was hoping Sony would be able to help. Well, long story short is they said in order to use AVI files with Vegas you need to purchase a 3rd party codec. They provided the following info:

In order to view the avi file in Vegas you have to install third party software. Here are the links for the Third party codec.

Well after trying several other freeware codecs (unsuccessfully) I finally tried the 60 trial at the morgan link above and it seems to work great (although I’m not thrilled about spending another $20 or so for functionality that seems should have been in the app to begin with). Althougth it is a codec for AVI files, it is the MPG codec.

Hope this helps.

I found another workaround. In my case, the reason aviplug.dll was causing the crash was because Data Execution Prevention (DEP) was enabled for all programs. Usually Vista will tell you in a pop-up that DEP is the cause for the crash, but in this case it did not. On a whim I tried adding vegas80.exe to the DEP exceptions and it fixed the problem! Interestingly, the aviplug from the video capture (it’s an older version) would not crash, like everybody else, but the new one did. So something in the new one (perhaps the aforementioned virtualization check) was causing violating DEP. Very strange…

[Adam Rose esq.]

yep, that DEP solution was one I found too, though on reinstall of OS (vista64 business) for unrelated reasons, even that disappeared. Actually, IIRC, was DVDA that threw a hissy fit until DEP was removed for it…

now mine just works flawlessly. Mine not to reason why

I’m having the same creating file I/O manager problem but on Vegas 7.0. I looked around the folders but I can’t find any vid-cap folder. Can someone help me?
