My 32 bit avi "fix" doesn't work with build

1marcus4 wrote on 9/9/2013, 6:36 PM
Out of the box the 64 bit version of Vegas 12 doesn't read avi files properly, not understanding the video and audio streams. The fix was to rename the original aviplug.dll, and copy over the 32 bit version of aviplug.dll. This has worked up until this build.

If anyone has another fix for reading avi files I would appreciate the info.
Thanks!

Are there Divx/Xvid codecs already installed on your system? They don't come with Vegas.
Check their website for updates (64 bit?).

I have the latest divx. It will even play on my Samsung TV off the flash drive. It's just this darn Vegas build 710 upgrade blowing all my avi movies out of the water. Can't recognize the mp3 audio in the avi. And sometimes both streams. Same results on about 100 avi files.

Going back to previous build fixes the issue.

The only AVI files I have are generated from Cineform studio from my GoPro MP4 files.

CineForm video codec. Uncompressed audio.

They work fine as before.

Agreed. Sounds like a codec problem more than Vegas.

YES. Copying the 32-bit DLL is a huge hint that a 64-bit codec may be missing.

No. All my avi files play fine, and have edited fine using the 32b aviplug.dll. This is an old documented problem with the 64b aviplug.dll.

I will simply run both versions, 32b and 64b. No problem.
Thanks though!
