Bit of a kanundrum

I just loaded an mpeg2 file onto my time line. My cousin has Vegas on his computer, and we had it on his Time line as well. My problem is that on his computer the audio was there, and fine - on my computer it was not. Video was just fine - audio was simply, poof - gone.

Anyone know what the deal is, why this standard mpg file works on his comp, and not on mine correctly?

This could be the .AC3 "issue"... where some have found their system can support .AC3 on the timeline... but others cannot. By default... you definitely cannot as Vegas cannot read .AC3 (although it renders to it fine).

There was a recent thread about this which referenced various ways that may allow you to get this to work.

And... I guess you already know that Vegas is pretty bad at editing from MPEG right?

yea it's only about 2 min worth of vid - so that's not a problem (vegas not editing mpeg well). Just frustrating that I will have to either strip and re-sync the audio or use his comp and transfer all my work overthere.

It's a spoof on Star Wars Episode 3 - he got a high quality telecined copy of it off the bittorrent sites or something, but it's gonna be sooooo funny.

Can't wait to share it with you guys.

Any reason that has been found as to why it randomly can/can't be supported in vegas from one comp to the next?

The reason was suggested in that other thread... don't have time to search for it right now. It has something to do with whether other 'plugins" were installed.

Why not have your cousin render the audio to a .wav file for you and then use that on your own computer?

I think (no real proof) that if you have a certain DVD player app installed then somehow Vegas manages to use the decoder.

it's the "A Lost Hope" trailer? That's pretty funny. :)

if that is it there's a WMV one out there somewhere (I have it). I put that on DVD fine, but yours may be a higher quality.
