CODEC FAILS

k-n9808 wrote on 1/5/2024, 5:53 PM

I'm new to Vegas Pro (I have version 19) but I don't understand why I am encountering problems already just trying to load in a video file (AVI). I've loaded others and I will admit this one is larger than others (736 MB). The error states that Vegas failed while opening a codec. The details of this error are simply, file couldn't be opened. There's no error number, not hint of why I can't open this file. If I try and play it in Media Player it plays fine. Never had this issue with a video editor before. Is this program just that much garbage that it can't do the simplest things? I don't know where to even start on trying to remedy this.

 

Any help or suggestions is welcome. Thank you.

736 MB for a file isn't large. As set says more detailed info from Mediainfo would be helpful. For a start we can then confirm that you have a problem with an AVI file and not an AV1 file?
