Sony Vegas Pro 8 rendering issue

> but the ones that don’t work after rendering are .avi files

Yes, I know that from your previous post. I asked what codec do they use? You can download a free utility called GSpot and open the AVI file with it and it will tell you which codec it uses and if you have that codec installed, and even do a render test. AVI files can contain any number of codecs and some are not compatible with Vegas.

The codec is XviD, the name says XviD ISO MPEG-4. It says I have the codec installed.

“The codec is XviD…”

And therein lies your problem.
XviD is a codec that Vegas really doesn’t like.
You’ll need to use an app like Super© (search this forum as it’s been discussed a lot) to convert it to a Vegas-friendly format.

I couldn’t have said it better. Vegas and XviD don’t mix. Follow Mike’s advice.

Alright, what would be a proper codec to change it to?

[Jacob Stein]

I’ve gone through about every codec, with the output container being a .avi file, .WAV audio, and now when I play them in the timeline they still play fine, but this time in the render, the video is there but the audio is missing. What format does my video need to be in to fix this?

[John Rofrano]

I would try making a DV Video AVI file with PCM wave audio.

Still no audio…

Also, the video is really choppy.

Also, I rendered it as an AC3 file too, which i think might be the audio problem’s solution.
