  • Vegas files slow to respond in explorer?

    Posted by Grant on March 24, 2006 at 11:01 pm

    Hello, I have a laptop which I use for editing (2gig centrino 1 gig 533 ram, 6800 256mb PCIE graphics card, 7200rpm system drive & a external 7200rpm desktop ide drive in a firewire/usb case. When I open avi files made from vegas on the external drive they take a long time to open, say 20 seconds sometimes. When I open avi files made from other editing programs, such as premiere or edius, they open imediately. This happens with firewire & usb connected.
    Any one have any clue how I can fix this, or what is happenning.
    Grant.

    I have not noticed that with my firewire drives.

    That particular machine is a laptop with the external drive connected via firewire. It was just a standard 120 Gig firewire drive purchased from firewire direct.

    Does any one have any idea why this would happen on two different external drives with vegas avi’s and not any other avi’s? ie: edius or premiere. Does anyone know how to change the codec priority in windows xp?

    Don’t really know but Vegas doesn’t really install a codec for DV. Perhaps Premiere and Edius installed one of their own, or perhaps one of them has made themselves the default editor for these files. Perhaps the system is querying some Premiere or Edius library before playing the files?

    By default, DV AVI files should open right up in Windows Media Player. There’s actually nothing special about Vegas encoded DV-AVI files, as far as I know.

    Check the different files with AVIINFO, to see if they use different codecs.
