Sony Vegas .Avi Issues! Please Assist!
-
Here’s one guide of many available: https://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/ffdshow_install_configure_page_3.cfm
Basically you’re setting it up to say “Computer, when Windows wants to play an xvid file, I want you to feed push the encoded video to ffdshow and trust that ffdshow will spit out a decoded video on the other end.”
Right now, Vegas is looking for a vfw filter for xvid and finding none, so you’re probably getting a blank video, yes?

No, its not letting me even out it on the timeline/bin!

So, you’re dragging a file with an .avi extension from, say, Explorer, onto the timeline, and what happens when you let go?

It says “Sony Vegas can not open the selected files”
-
Well, if you’ve installed and configured ffdshow, closed and opened Vegas, rebooted and tried again, I’m out of ideas for you to try with that file.

Im still trying to configure ffdshow. Im so stumped, I have no idea how to do this or what I should do. When it comes to this kinda thing, you can call me illiterate lol.

You could try using a program like AviDemux 2.5 to convert the video to M-JPEG with PCM audio which will edit fine with Vegas Pro. Make sure you use the 2.5 version of Avidemux and NOT the newer 2.6.

Hello, you will not be able to import the audio of that video avi properly for Sony Vegas because it is MP2 audio (MPEG Layer 2) and Sony Vegas does not support this type of audio in .avi files .
You’ll even be able to import the video from the Xvid codec installed on your Windows but not audio .
If you want to install the Xvid codec to test, install it according to your Sony Vegas, or if your Vegas is 32 bits install the 32-bit codec (if its still being Windows 64-bit), and if your Vegas is 64-bit install the 64-bit codec … the link below you can download, there is an installer of over 10MB and also the individual installers for 32 or 64 bits, and are what I recommend for you .

The next time you record something using Bandicam to then edit in Vegas, set the audio to PCM type Bandicam … this will cause the audio stays much higher than would be if MP2, but this will be accepted by Vegas .
Well, you should be reading many mistakes in this text, do not speak your language . -

As we all know, there are many codec for AVI format videos. So although Sony Vegas Official website announced that it can support AVI videos smoothly, then users still met the problem while trying to open the AVI videos in Sony Vegas owing to the codec problem. Then how can we get rid of this problem? The easiest and fastest way to solve this problem is to transcode AVI videos to MPEG, the most compatible video format for Sony Vegas.

Not sure if you problem has been sovled. Then you must aware that AVI is just a “Container” , figure out the codec in it then convert them into another format if necessary.
