AVI files - no video and marked as "media offline"

As no-one replied to my answer in other post, I repeat myself here in new post for any assistance in resolve.

As my Vegas MSP 9.0a has stopped recognising AVI files already used many times after last upgrade to new build and even when uninstalling and reinstalling old build (85) still does not show video on these file types even old finished projects etc. only shows and edits audio....... the files are marked as "media offline" even when freshly loaded from a flashdrive to C drive from original source (laptop)
BTW the program on the laptop (which was not upgraded is still using, recognising and editing these AVI files OK as before.
The files are AVI (OpenDML) 1 video stream JPEG 1 audio stream PCM (Microsoft)
69.2Mbps, 720 x 480 (32), at 29.970fps JPEG (NTSC)

all settings are left as default on new install and they still do not work......

I cannot (or will not) reformat the hundreds of files already in projects and were working fine... so what is the answer here...... maybe a codec lost somewhere? but the files all run OK on windows media player and other programs as is.
They were originally captured with debut if that's any help. most around 2GB each
any suggestions?

Jim

note:- yes they recode to MPG2 and are seen, but unrealistic to backtrack for finished projects held on archive, don't you think?

You need an MJPEG codec to open your files in Vegas.
The trial version of Mainconcept MJPEG will do this (the trial doesn't expire) and it won't do anything nasty to your computer.

@musicvid

Many thanks for that, it is now up and running again......... thanks to you.

Jim

somehow must have lost my original, maybe one of the uninstalls of recent video programs snaffled it in the process? thanks again
