Vegas Movie Studio 8 won’t play .avi files?
I currently have Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8. When I try and put an .avi file on the timeline it only gives me audio, but no visual. However I can open these same files on Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker and both audio and visual work just fine. I was told to download the DivX codec but it didn’t do anything. So how can I get Vegas to show both the audio and visual?

Hi,
I could say downloading is not enough, you have to install as well…
:))) Just kidding, sorry. ;))
My experience was that Vegas “does not like” divx encoded videos, however I had problems mostly with the audio part in the past.
To overcome this, google for Virtualdub, it’s a free software, especially for divx dudes.
It is simple and self-explanatory.
It can convert these divx and other filetypes, which are not really supported by Vegas.
So download this software, and convert your avi to another type; I’d recommend a not so highly compressed mjpeg and uncompressed audio.Hope I could help.
Regards
K.L.

I can’t figure out how to convert the files.

Carol, where did the problem AVI originally come from?
To find out what kind iof codec is required, you need to download a utility called GSpot Codec Information Appliance.
Run it and tell us what it says.
There’s a link to a quick start guide for it on this page.
