Yeah,most times when only audio appears on the timeline the file is either a divx/xvid codec,more divx then xvid,and by the way,that flashing banner I posted at the top is a link,click on itTo tell you the truth I don't think they are. Anyway I am looking at GSpot and it says for some stupid reason the codec I encoded it to is in fact divx.
Yes, I know that. Although like I said, a file I have used before in Vegas doesn't work now either. But yes I did make a mistake with the codec because I know better than to encode files into divx or xvid.Darkened Soul wrote:Yeah,most times when only audio appears on the timeline the file is either a divx/xvid codec,more divx then xvid,and by the way,that flashing banner I posted at the top is a link,click on itTo tell you the truth I don't think they are.

Did you convert the files using VirtualDubMod?Slywolf15 wrote:Well I'm using Vegas 7 and a while ago I imported some files I converted to an avi container using the Mpeg-4 codec from rm. For some strange reason the files have sound although no video and this is only in vegas because when played, the files work fine. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
<Stirspeare> Otohiko: You guys sure love dongs.
No, I converted them using the SUPER converter. Well I just re-encoded them as MJPEG's although Vegas still won't recognize the video. It just seems like it's rejecting anything that is using an avi container. Last night I uninstalled and reinstalled the program although that didn't help either.`Eclipse wrote:Did you convert the files using VirtualDubMod?Slywolf15 wrote:Well I'm using Vegas 7 and a while ago I imported some files I converted to an avi container using the Mpeg-4 codec from rm.

Why post if you aren't going to be helpful just annoying? I realize it's most likely a software problem concerning the settings. Nothing is wrong with my computer since I should know because I'm the one who built it and it's been running fine for almost a year. Anyway it seems to be a problem with vegas not recognizing the code's which is why therefore it can't recognize the stream.Phantasmagoriat wrote:This might be relevant to avoiding problems:

I'm sorry, I'm just frustrated and didn't mean to lash out. Anyway I have been doing research and figured it must be the codecs. Now I would like to uninstall all my codecs and reinstall them. Although I'm not quite sure how too.Phantasmagoriat wrote:um, rightSlywolf15 wrote:Why post if you aren't going to be helpful just annoying?

fine. Use that for future reference then. I'm not going to help you do things wrong.
-Whatever method you are using now is obviously flawed somehow... otherwise you wouldn't be having problems. You can avoid errors in your new projects if you use the method in that link. I don't know why you think that's unhelpful.
-In case you didn't like the wording of the post... consider that the link goes to a post in another thread not specifically directed at you. It was in WMM forum, directed at people that aren't likely to know much about editing in general, and are prone to mistakes; But that obviously doesn't apply to you-- you made your own computer.
-further, it may not have occurred to you that you can use what I posted; if you need to convert those .avi files that should work to something that actually do AND wont give you problems... how is that not helpful.
-also, the second last link is a guide. READ IT. There's a section that talks about frameserving to your editor using fake .avi files that point towards other-encoded-files-that-your-editor-doesn't-normally-take. Not to mention editing with .avs scripts that point towards your source.
-And yes, like you said, it could just be Vegas, but probably not; if you uninstalled and reinstalled it, you shouldn't be having the problem...
