I am hoping that someone will read this and have a "eureka" for me, because it seems like it should be fix-able.
Workflow:
Machine 1:
Program is captured in a PVR program (Showshifter) using a high quality PicVideo setting (YUY2 at Q19)and converted to AVI (I think only the indexing changes).
WinXP Pro + SP1 (Vegas not installed on this machine).
The resultant *.avi will open and play in both Windows Media Player and VDUB
Machine 2:
The *.avi is transferred to this machine running Vegas 4 + DVD (again WinXP Pro + SP1), when I use the "File...Open" command. I select the file in the "Open" dialog box and the lower left says something along the lines of "Stream attributes could not be" . Here's something interesting. If I proceed to open the file in Vegas, the file appears in the "Media Pool" while the Audio track is up on the board. If I right-click on the file (still in the media pool) and check the "properties" the "attributes" of the Video Stream (listed as stream 1) is listed as "Stream Offline"...nothing else.
The kicker is that if I open the *.avi in VDUB and then save it as an *.avi again (no change in settings), everything is *fine* in Vegas. So that's been my workaround, but it's adding an annoying (and sometimes long) step to my workflow.
Does anyone have any ideas? I feel like I'm close. Interestingly, the guy from PicVideo has been working with me and he can open the *.avis in the Vegas 4 demo without going through VDub. To me, this sounds like something may be missing from my setup or is configured strangely.
Any advice would be appreciated!
