Vegas pro 16 make any codec failed. I used V 21 trial but uninstalled and then this hppend. I am using it as administrator.
Please provide more information. In what way did your codec(s) fail?
Trying opening mp4 or mts files to copy timeline come error: the activation of codec failed.
How can I change codec if it is wrong.
I found it. I renamed compoundplug directory. It helps............
But only mts audio opened. So not solved but obviously codec is wrong.
Have you tried resetting/uninstalling/reinstalling VP16?
Yes, twice. But no succes. I installed Microsoft HEVC codec earlier but I removed it. Maybe it went totally?
The M$ HEVC codec would possibly only affect those created files. The other ones should have loaded fine.
Since things aren't "working" for you now, you can try using Revo Uninstaller Free to uninstall VP16. I've used it in the past when regular uninstalling didn't work with other software, Vegas has been no problem. But it looks for leftovers in the registry and leftover folders that are often missed by using M$ uninstall.
Make sure you have your activation number ready.... and you do this uninstall at your expense....
Revo Uninstall
+11.. and use the "Advanced" scan mode. If you have other Vegas software installed, try not to delete 'shared' items. Revo gives you the option to choose which of the pertinent files to remove.
I have been using Revo Uninstall for 10+ years on 99.999% of uninstalls. Revo Uninstall has pro and freeware versions. The free version is adequate in most cases unless a 'forced' uninstall is.needed.
Revo did not help.
...did not help how.... you uninstalled, deleted the leftover folder and registry items, installed Vegas and still nothing?
When you install, give your serial number, drop a file that needs the necessary codec that comes with the software but not initially installed, you should be prompted to download and install.
Yes, right so I did. And no help.
I don't have VP16 installed and am out of ideas... sorry.
Thank you anyway for advices. This is an very strange problem. Must be a Vegas bug because other users have too. I hate like this.
What other users have this bug? I've never had it in any version from 14-21.
They have codec activation problems. In this site and google seach. Now it is also indicated in V16.
It's quite unusual. I had 16 installed without issue. The program isn't blocked by a firewall, is it?
Maybe it is a Windows security problem.
When Vegas has to activate a codec that has not earlier been used and Vegas has to pay for the use of that codec, your hardware on which Vegas is installed has to make contact to the internet to load that codec.
So look into your Windows settings and if needed allow it.
Do not rename folders like that, it will break other features in VEGAS.
What is the name of application that does Vegas codec activation. It is maybe firewall causing this problem. What happens when I have Microsoft HEVC codec in PC. I disapled firewall but no succes activating. Vegas 10 pro works fine all the time.
How can I fix this? Reinstallation don't help.
Did you try reinstalling the trail VP21?
The error message is talking about VST. I'd try removing third party VSTs out of the C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins folder and see if it would start then.
I have reinstalled Vegas16 and Vegas21 trial version again, but nothing helps toV16 codec activation. V21 trial works correct. I installed Vp16 and Vp21 trial version on the other PC and both work correctly. This is incomprehensible. I also cleaned the register carefully from time to time. No C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins folder in my PC.
