MPEG-MP4

Good day

I do hope someone can assist me with the issue since I have been struggling the whole day I will provide as much information as I can

I use Vegas pro 13.0 I have quick time installed , I also installed the latest shark codecs and vlc , as well as divx player.

I also tried the K lite mega codec pack to no prevail

My situation - I have 2 mp4 video files one the first file is as well follows

NAme : all that we render (A)
Mpeg-4
Video stream : AVC
Audio stream : AAC
Its at 25 fps AVC PAL CABAC/3 REf Frames

The second video file is as follows

Name : 168_0828_01 (B)
Mpeg-4
Video stream : MPEG
Audio Stream PCM
Its at 25 FPS XDCAM

Right so let me explain the situation FIle A every time I import it into Vegas pro 13 the preview screen becomes green and the video is laggy but the audio is smooth

Now to fix this its pretty easy just remove the compound.dll file from vegas pro and it works smoothly

HOWEVER

That then cause video file B to not work at all in the vegas pro 13 since it cant import it

ALSO

We cant convert it since we have hundreds of recorded footage in the same format as file B and A so conversion is not a option


FIXES

I would like a way to either be able to play in sony vegas file B without use of the compound.dll

or find the right codec that can play file A correctly

System
Windows 8.1 pro
I7-4771
16Gig ram
Nvidea GTX 780 (latest drivers as well )

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated

Why cant you convert file A? You can batch convert all files at once. You can also try the free Catalyst Browse to convert it provided it can read the file.
What cameras are those files from? Also try and use MediaInfo to get more in-depth information about the files.

Codec packs replace system codecs needed by Vegas with unverified versions.
That's likely part of your problem, and the only solution I know to get them out of your registry is a clean OS install followed by a clean Vegas install.

That said, I see nothing about your files that would preclude them being opened normally in an unadulterated environment.

You could post your original samples somewhere for someone else to try on a clean system.

+1 old smoke and musicvid10

when i have anything untoward in the way of a video file i simply convert it (them) to .mxf.

you can break your head, lose hair and generally throw a serious wobbly when having to deal with many camera formats nowadays, and it's not only in vegas either...

Cant believe it actually worked did a full reload of the OS to windows 10 pro

not a upgrade but Format system and install windows 10 , and loaded just the graphics card drivers

and set the sony vegas pro to not use hardware acceleration

and no green screen works smoothly now

Thank you so much for the help guys

Glad you got it working.
Check here before installing third party codecs.
A couple you may need, most are just trouble.
