DivX -> no sound

Hi,
We have this Sonic Foundry Vegas 4.0 at school and we were supposed to create a short trailer. For that purpose, I tried to import DivX- movies, but for most movies I only got the video part, no sound. Short movies, something like 25 minutes are fine. When playing movies with bsplayer, for example, all movies are playing fine with sound.

I did a search on this forum and I tried Internet as well. I found out, that there is this handy program GSpot and I tried it. The program just tells me, that there are three compatible audio codecs installed: Fraunhofer IIS, ffdshow Audio Decoder and MPEG Layer-3 decoder.

Seems to me that this is the most definitively audio codec problem. So is there a way to set Vegas to use some particular audio codec or what is the audio codec you are using when opening DivX movies with Vegas ??

Thank you!

So when you do a search change the Messages Per Page: option to something greater than 10. ;-)

Sorry I’m not sure what your DivX problem is. I could never get DivX to work with Vegas but others have had some level of success.

ive covered this about 5 times before - but when you have a divx or xvid file with mp3 that has VBR , you have to convert the mp3 to CBR before you can import into vegas , you can use goldwave or virtualdub to do this .. you may also have a file with ac3 audio -- whch you must de-mux from the avi file with virtualdub and convert to wav with besweet or goldwave if you have a ac3 codec installed ..

the thing about vegas not importing VBR mp3's is NOT a bug in vegas, itsa common issue with a lot of apps - but the only time you generally see VBR mp3 audio , is when its a downloaded video , so i don't consider this a problem --

having said that, if you are doing a school "project" with downloaded video files - you better be real sure of your right to use said video's ...
