Vegas doesn't accept AVI video formats.

Okay I have recently bought a new computer. I transferred all of my anime, music, and programs and such onto my new computer. Before I transferred my Sony Vegas 7.0 accepted AVI Video formats. However, on my new computer I am unable to use AVI Video formats in Vegas. Any theories on why it's like this?

Vegas likes AVIs =D

Just avis encoded properly -_-

By any chance are they DviX/Xvid?

Not that I know of. They are DVD ripped episodes.

Probably the same problem I am having. Is there only audio but no video?

OH! I am not sure this is relevant or not, but since my AVI files stopped working my Sony Media Manager won't either. Could this be a reason why my AVI files won't work?

naw my media manager crashes on me all the time and Vegas still works..

to get codec information right-click on the video file, and choose "properties" and click the tab that says "summery" it should be listed next to compression and if that doesn't work, get a program called GSpot and drop the file in it

Okies, it seems my file IS encoded with Divx...*even though I don't have that program on my computer....* I personally ripped these DVDs, ah well I will just convert them to MPEG-2. Thanks for the help. ^^

Argh! I meant to say re-rip them in MPEG-2 format. Not convert them.

rip them with dvd decryptor and convert them with virtualdub mod... if you save your clips with lagarith or huffyuv Vegas will love you (though maybe not your HD cause they take up filespace... so make short clips and only the ones you need if your HD is limited :3 heh)
