Problems with DIVX

I can't edit Divx files created in vegas.
I can create Divx files (divx 5.02 codec) without problem, they play OK in windows media player and divx player alpha, but if I want to reedit them in vegas I only can edit the audio, the video is black, very very black ;-), I have no image, only a black screen.

What's the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Josaver.

I have an even worse problem - it crashes all the time after two seconds of rendering. I use 3.0c.

If you have big storage, use huffyuv, that's what I use without any problems rendering in vv3.

can you be more explicit, please... I don't understand your answer.

Thanks.

Divx of any type is unreliable in Vegas, as either a source or an output format. Sorry-

Yes, but why?

Josaver,

I use huffyuv as my video codec for capturing movies since I have 27 gigs of hd just for my video files. This codec's compression rate is from 2.2 to 3.7 is to 1, therefore it uses more storage than divx. I used divx before when I had only 10 gigs of hd.

Why? Well, Ya got me. I've been barking up that deaf tree for months. Incompatibility with Divx alone forced me to almost strictly use Premiere 6.5. Funny, Premiere 6.5 seems to handle Divx 5.02 quite well. Very stable and reliable for input & output formats.

I'm not harping on SonicEPM, cause it's really out of his hands. Its the Marketing & Sales Depts at SF who control the technical resource budgeting and prioritizing. They must have decided that Divx it not as critical as some of their higher priority projects.

Well, I would like to see SF positioned in the publics' mind where they deserve to be, Right up there with the big boys. They are getting outstanding reviews.

For SF viablity as a company I hope that they score some Goverment contracts with their identity storage/cataloging dbase software they were pushing post 9/11, cause their financials are not looking too promising.

Goodluck. I still have faith.
