I have an AVI file that plays fine in WMP but won't open in vegas7??
Any ideas?

When i open up in vegas it only opens the audio and no picture?

At least if i could open in vegas i coucl re-render as a QT or something?:huh:
 
If it plays in WMP but not in Vegas, it's likely using a codec that Vegas doesn't support, such as DivX, which uses .avi's as a "wrapper." Use this to find out which codec it uses.

Once you've done that, you'll need to use an intermediate program to convert it to use a codec that Vegas will recognize, like .wmv or QT. Post what GSpot gives you for video information, and I'll try to help.
 
thanks - have donwloaded and used gspot.

Although i get "Codec(s) are Installed"

- codec WMV3
- name - WMP v9 (VC-1 Simple/Main)

Any reason why this wont work in Vegas7 (or acid 6 for that matter!) :lipsrseal
 
Huh... that's a stumper. I use Vegas6, but I've never had a WMV that it wouldn't edit. May need to call Vegas tech support on that one. Did it come with a year of free tech support or anything like that?
