Codec

Hi-

I need to get the Newtek TriCaster codec to work with Vegas 4. Newtek TriCaster sent a dll and an install program, but it does not work automatically in V4.

As I recall there is a folder somewhere in V4 to drop in 3rd party codecs. Anyone know where it is?

TIA

PS. 3rd party codecs ARE allowed in V4 prefs

Try Program Files\Sonic Foundry\Vegas 4.0\Video Plug-Ins. On my computer, there are a number of dlls in this folder.

if it is not installed - putting it in the plug-in folder is not likely to work ..

usually you install dll in system32 folder and register it using comandline RegSvr32

or use this tool http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DllRegSvr.htm

are you trying to encode or read these files ?

I think the codec must be installed in to windows since Media Player will playback the files.

Vegas does not see the video but the audio is there.

I wish to edit then encode the files to mpeg-2

you prob. will have to convert them first using virtualdub or avisynth to something else .. to bad you can not easly just frame serve them in ..
