You know I did get two discs with my camera, but I figured that sony veges would be the only thing that I needed. I should have installed the discs, but I will follow that link.

Yeah–that is true. Well I thank you for your time and your patience. I know I learned more than you probably did since I am fairly new to all of this (Only been making videos for 2 years–not very long).

Now let me download this and see what happens.

[Sabrina Watson]

Okay let’s see if this will work.

I unzipped the FourCC Changer except the only thing started with div in both drop down menu’s are div4 for the Description code and div3 for the Used codec.

Is this correct?

I also un-installed DivX 6 (hopefully I was supposed to?)

Do I repeat this process with all of my clips and then open Vegas to see if the files reappear?

[Sabrina Watson]

Sorry I made a mistake. I did download DivX 6.8 and I also installed it. That is when the media could not be found.

I downloaded VirtualDub. I remember using this a few years ago.

I’m getting an error when I try to click and drag one of my clips from my camera. It says:

**********

Couldn’t locate decompresser for format ‘SEDG’ (unknown).

VirtualDub requires a video for windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable.

**********

I have no idea what hat means.

I just wanted to ask a quick question before I forget, does the media being offline mean that if/when it does get back online I will have to start my video over from scratch anyway?

[Sabrina Watson]

is uncompressed AVI different than regular AVI? Because the camera put the clips on my computer in avi format.

It says the “media is offline” for a bunch of them when I went back a few hours ago to see.

But if I install the new version of DivX won’t I be in the same position with my video? I downloaded it in hopes it would fix the problem.

I’m getting a little confused now. Let me see if I understand this correctly…

1. Download VirtualDub and Super

What do I do with both of those programs?

If I download those two programs can I keep DivX on my compute or will I still need to uninstall it?

BTW, your site is awesome. I always wondered if there was a way to do a split screen in vegas. I didn’t even think there was a masking tool. Very cool!

[Sabrina Watson]

Thank you for replying back.

Okay–here’s another problem. I just opened up my project to try what you told me (I also got the most up-to-date version of DivX) and now my video clips are there, but they won’t play. They’re just blank. The only thing that will play in my project is the music and the text.

How can I get it back now? It doesn’t even show red–it’s just blank. They are there, but the actual videos aren’t.

My camera is a: Samsung SC-MX10 Black ~ Digital Flash Memory Camcorder w/ 34x Optical Zoom.

I’m not so good at finding out about the camera yet, but I know that when I connect the usb port the files get onto my computer in avi files. Also the video setting shows 16:9 and for resolution it shows 720x480i. I have that one with a little p after it and a 352×250 with a p after it too.

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get a clip of the video up. I do have my own domain, but I use free webspace, but I’ll see if I can maybe upload a clip of it on my photobucket for the time being.

This is the link to the camera: https://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9188680 just in case it shows more information than I know about it yet. It’s my first camcorder.
