Can Vegas convert WMV's?

How good is it at converting flash movies also?

I think Vegas can import wmv files...but why are you editing wmv files?

if it can't, then you can make an AviSynth script (using directShowSource("path_to_file") ) and load it into virtualdub(/mod) and convert the file that way.
I don't know if Vegas supports flash files...but if you looked just a little at the recent threads, you would have found more than one dealing with flv conversion

What program do you load to make an AVISynth script?

Kariudo · Post by **Kariudo** » Sun Nov 05, 2006 11:22 pm

you make Avisynth scripts in a program like notepad.
when you save, name your file [insert name].avs

do you have AviSynth?
if you don't know, then you don't...and it can be found here

Oh so you use Notepad. OK notepad is cool. I open up Notepad, but what do I put into the notepad file before saving as an .avs ?

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("path.wmv")

that's all, the double quotes are needed, and replace "path" with the full path to your wmv file. (ie C:\Documents and Settings\Use\Desktop\filename.wmv)

my path example would load my file named "filename.wmv" into whatever program you use to load the script into (VirtualDub(/Mod) in most cases)
which is located on my desktop

Okay, last time: <s>This is drugs.</s>

AVI is a container format.
DivX and XviD are video codecs.

Whether Sony Vegas can open an AVI file or not depends on the codec used for the video. Vegas does not "have problems with AVI".

Though I have not worked with the program myself, I am given to understand that it will accept AVIs encoded with HuffYUV, Lagarith, and the like with no problem; on the other hand, as is common with NLEs, it has problems with XviD, DivX, and other MPEG-4 ASP codecs.

Any questions?
