Vegas 7 Video Problem

Ramen_Chan · Post by **Ramen_Chan** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 6:17 pm

Well, I downloaded the trail version for Vegas 7 today, just to try it out.

My problem is though, that every time I import a video file into the thing, it reads and plays it as an audio file, yet it still says it's a video file..

Somebody Help.

Thanks but....It's not an MPEG file....It's Avi.

Did you even fucking read the thing?

1. Yes I did read it.

2. I don't see how it applies to my problem.

And 3. I really don't appreciate the language you just used. I'm sorry if I don't understand something you find so obvious, but it gives you know right to cuss at me for it.

download this - http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/index.htm

Run it and have it analyze the file you're using then come back and tell me it doesn't apply to your situation.

Here. I'm sorry, but all this is doing is confusing me more.

ok... let me star over... AVI is a container, you can put several diferent types of encodes in that container. One is XviD - like yours is. You need to have the XviD codec installed to be able to work with XviD footage... but you should not use XviD footage in NLEs for the very reasons listed in the article I linked to earlier. The article also explains what your alternatives are.

oh, and most XVID encoded files wont import to vegas, you have to convert them to huffyuv or lagarith encoded avi files inorder to get them to work...
