Some Problems with Vegas 6.0

Postby Tsukasa-chan01 » Wed Jul 05, 2006 9:06 am

I'm trying to work on a couple of videos right now using Vegas. With one of them when I add the media files the audio is there but the video won't load. With another it becomes pixelated at points when I load it.

Anyone have any explinations for this?

Also, does anyone know of where I can get more codecs?

sounds like your files are encoded with divx/xvid
these are bad codecs for editing, huffyuv or lagarith are much better choices (but the files will be quite large, I wouldn't reccomend encoding entire episodes)
as for finding more codecs, google works well...just type the name of the codec you want (lagarith, huffyuv, divx and xvid should be sufficient to play most vids) ...and avoid codec packs like the plauge (except for the matroska lite pack...which you need to play .mkv files. I tried finding just the codec, but to no avail)

If you have more than one mpeg4 decoder installed (such as divx and xvid) then uninstall them all and then just install the latest xvid from http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml

Did you neglect to read the main point of the first responce. The part that said not to edit with DivX/XviD encoded footage? That's the important part. :)
