Probably a very basic question, but I have looked through masses of FAQ's but not found anything.
I have an avi file imported into the PC from a very basic Vivitar movie camera that appears to be in MJPEG format.
It is seen as this by VLC and Vegas picks up the frame rate and will match the Project settings to it. The Project Media is shown as Sony Motion JPEG. The audio plays, but I can see no video. What am I missing here?
Also, I normally work with audio and there I would get all files into uncompressed wave format, edit them as appropriate and then convert to the various distribution formats. I can't seem to find a standard basic "master" format for video that is universally playable and can be edited. Is there one that is best to settle on as the basic working and storage format?
