well it says stream attributes could not be determined, yet i know the plug ins are working cuz ive checked and then i even checked if it was the program and it wasnt. I got another vegas from a friend a diffrent one and it still did the same thing.

Pardon me? For some reason I cannot figure out what you are needing help with. Can you describe the problem in a little more detail?

Well like when im in vegas i want to put a video on the timeline, pretty much all the videos that i want to put on it say "Video: Stream attributes could not be determined". The only file that i have gotten to work so far has been a file from the program 3ds.

Could you say exactly where the video came from - what type of file, and how was it captured or encoded.

He posted a query under the title "Problem" yesterday which I think is the same problem he's referring to here.

Also gave no real info so it's a bit hard to advise on anything.

(I'm also quietly suspecting eye-patches and parrots may be involved :-)

Cheers

i had the same problem, my digital camera used some unrecognisible codec to encode avi movies and vegas was unable to read them, you better download virtualdub and encode the avi with a different codec like a divx or anything else that will be readable in vegas

divx wouldn't be a good way to go!
I think in WMP you can determine which codec it's using to play the media, that might be a good start or else there's a freeware program called AVICodec, should be available from Doom9 that'll give you all the details of which codec was used to create the stream withing the AVI file.

Program called Gspot will determin what type of codec is require and will tell you if you have installed. Digital camera with capability to record motion pictures use most of the time Morgan M-JPEG codec. It can be downloaded from Morgan web site for free. You can convert to regular mpeg and import to Vegas. Do not expect good resolution of that clip as the camera was not design for that primary. The max size of capture video is 320x240.
If blow to 640x480 it will shop pixelate. If your camera or camcorder to nat have NTSC on it you are capture in 320x240. Good for web site, but not for any other decent video editing.
