I finally completed the upgrade to Windows 10. What a nightmare. Took forever to get sound working because there was no driver for my sound card for Win10 but found some workaround online.
Reinstalled Vegas without any problems. But now when I drag an MTS file onto the timeline, I only get audio, and no video. Also seems to be happening with some, but not all, AVI files. MOV and MP4 all seem to load up ok.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Have you updated chipset/GPU/audio drivers manually?
Could you provide MediaInfo for these files?
Thank you for the link, I will read over that thread and see what I come up with.
GPU and audio is working okay. Actually, I was not able to install the Radeon software package. Ran into some kind of error. however I was able to update the driver by manually, by going to device manager, and pointing to the unpacked installation folder, to find the updated driver file and that worked.
Doing MTS daily here, Win10, VP14, no issues.
Could you provide MediaInfo for these files?

@Musicvid, in another thread, you said this:
https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/the-dreaded-codec-issue--116833/#ca727270
About installing the x264vfw codec - do you think that might solve the problem I've described? I'm trying to avoid installing anything I don't need in this system to keep in smooth running.
Or should I perhaps try what @NickHope said here about so4compoundplug:

No Mike, MTS files are not AVI.
There is nothing wrong with your MTS files either.
Are they broadcast recordings? You need VideoRedo for that.
No, they're the same files from my Canon camcorder that I've been using, nothing special about them, and they've worked, until Windows 10 that is
As you mentioned that GPU driver could not be installed normal way after W7 => W10 upgrade, I think something went wrong with it.
You should be able to roll back to W7 or you may try to install W10 over W10 that often fixing some errors while preserving your data (this helped me once). Unfortunately, in last case you may lose the ability to roll back to W7 (I might be wrong).
I would try to manually install all required drivers downloaded from manufacturer web sites (started from MB chipset driver). To understand what driver require update I'd use some Driver Update programs like DriverEasy (DO NOT ALLOW SUCH PROGRAMS TO INSTALL DRIVERS, ONLY USE THEM TO CHECK IF NEW DRIVER AVAILABLE).
I'd try to use AMD drive cleanup utility to uninstall all AMD drivers and install it normal way. When you installed the GPU driver from device manager it is possible that some libraries required to GPU acceleration were not installed correctly and so you have the issue.
@fifonik Thanks for your input. I got the free version Driver Easy and updated everything (what a handy program to find drivers that are normally hard to find, or even know that need updating) After updating everything, including getting the radeon adrenalin software installed, I'm glad to say that the MTS files are loading up properly again. Thanks again!
So it turned out that some incorrectly installed drivers caused the issue.
Have you updated drivers one by one? If so, was you able to identify what driver caused the issue?
P.S. I'm using Driver Easy myself (payed version). Tried some other similar programs (Driver Booster, Driver Max) but decided to use Driver Easy as it is the best in my case. However, I'm only updating drivers through the program that I absolutely sure. For example, I do not updating GPU and audio drivers.
P.P.S. You can mark it as resolved to help other people with similar issue.
Yep one by one, the free version makes it a little tedious, but I figure it's only going to be a lot of updates at the onset of a fresh system. I didn't even attempt to try and identify what was causing the issue, that would have added a lot more hours to the ordeal.
