Hello I have the K-Lite Codec Pack 64 bit installed and now I can also play avi with windows media player. So the codec is installed properly. But with vegas I can't load or play avi how is this possible?
Which Vegas version? Did Vegas accept .avi files before adding K-Lite?
In the past that codec pack was bad news as it overwrote existing preloaded codecs.
A random forum search re K'Lite was that installing K-LIte is not a great idea for Vegas Pro. Use the forum search function yourself to explore further.
hi
thanks for you replay
I had version 13 and avi works fine now i have version19 en can play avi
and off course before i install k-lite codec i can play avi with vegas
that was the reason to install it
So you did something that fixed it?
You still never said what's in the AVI file.
Consider yourself lucky. You might well have needed the system image that you take on a monthly schedule or indeed a clean install of windows. You could always use handbrake(free) to convert .avi to .mp4. Much safer than installing codec packs.
hello, I'm just a beginner, but an avi file should be able to handle any video editing program right?
I use Camtasia recorder for srceen recording and it creates an avi as output file.

No.

i have only 2 options to record the screen camrec or avi
after it's recorded i can convert it to mp4, but previously i do that in vegas and i'd like to keep it that way
I bought version 19 but in my case can do less with it
We use OBS a lot here.
@Frans-zijl can you share a small sample recording of your camtasia?
@Frans-zijl Out of curiosity, I just downloaded a Camtasia trial and see it's actually 2 apps... "Camtasia 2022" and "Camtasia Recorder 2022". Only tried the recorder without registering. It's settings support 2 encoders (Preferences, Inputs): TSC2 and H.264. I chose H.264. It recorded a file with the ".trec" extension to Documents\Camtasia. Renamed the recording to end in ".mp4". Which Vegas recognizes and can edit directly. Not particularly great media info, however (wide range VFR, gops, and low bitrate 44.1k audio):

I suspect that the full app just transcodes the avi from that file.
