video doesnt show w/.avi file
I have a canon power shot camera, and when i remove the pictures and video from it, everything goes smoothly. However, when i try to pull the .avi files into vegas, only the audio appears. Is there a new avi plug-in that i have to download? The .avi’s play just fine in Winamp.
By the way, i have vegas 6c
Your help is greatly appreciated!

The problem is that you are missing the required codec.
Avi is simply a wrapper around your codec.
I do remember a thread not to long ago with the same situation,
an avi from a digital camera. I believe that Edward Troxel has
fielding the codec needed question.You can google for a free app called gspot. It will analyze your
avi file and tell you what codec the file requires. From there google
the codec, download, and install. Then Vegas can read your avi video file.Regards, Rick.

Edward does indeed have the tip on his site.
How do I open AVI files create by still cameras? -
Thank you guys for all of your help!, and I will try to do better research before I post something.

I also am having a problem getting my video portion to show in Vegas. But the video I’m importing is in Xvid/DivX format, and from what I hear this type of file is not compatable with Vegas. If true, is there nothing I can do to fix it? I can’t reformat the videos, because it makes the files larger and I’m already low on space as it is. I tried the Morgan Multimedia, and while t does help my camera files, it doesn’t allow me to view my other Avi DivX files. I used Gspot as well, here is a pic.

Do a search here for XVid and DivX. That should point you to the necessary information to get it working.
