Unable to open uncomressed Quicktime video

Matt_Reason wrote on 11/10/2005, 10:11 AM

Got an odd one here. I have 4 clips of uncompressed 720p 8-bit quicktime that, when dropped on the Vegas timeline, only show audio.

On the same machine, if I load the same clips in Premier, I only see the video. So it's not a codec issue.

I'm hoping there's some setting I'm missing somewhere.

I've got a related issue with DV-encoded QT7 files. I started a thread that's fallen off the front page here, and have a support ticket that's been in process for two weeks while support gets past the "install the latest QT with authoring tools" standard pat response.

I can't open h.264 QT files in Vegas. Get audio only, no video. Must use QT7 to convert to AVI. PITA!

Sure would be nice to see what other QT7 formats are not making the cut in Vegas 6 - any other takers?

I understand from previous threads that the Vegas internal QT codecs are distributed through Sony updates. Installing QT updates does not make Vegas compatible with the latest versions of QT codecs.

Search feature should turn up more info.

"I understand from previous threads that the Vegas internal QT codecs are distributed through Sony updates. Installing QT updates does not make Vegas compatible with the latest versions of QT codecs."

Well - maybe the tech support folks in Madison should drill through the forum archives more often to find better advice to dole out, because the ONLY response I've gotten was the re-install QT7 with authoring tools on...

...and I *HAVE* searched the forums here before logging the issue with support, using terms such as "QT DV", "DV codec", "QT stream not recognized".

I posted in *MY* first thread the exact content of the properties window which showed the following:

Now - my questions to support were: 1) why are the properties only picking up the audio stream, and 2) why was Vegas still using a "qt5plug.dll" to scan a QT7 encoded video file.

My question to you is: if "Vegas internal QT codecs are distributed through Sony updates" then why the HELL are we using a DLL that's two version old? I'm running 6.0c (Build 153)

Riddle me that, Batman.

Sorry, but I'm not Batman.

Here is your Quicktime reference from 10 days ago:

Helpful as a heart attack. Thanks.

Thanks for the nice Thank You.

I've never done this before, but I will put you on ignore, Mr. HHaynes.

Nice doing business with you.

You come into the thread like a prick - leave it like a prick. See if I care. But when someone says they have a two-week-old support issue you'd better come with more than "use the search function".

You want to boss people around, take on the customer service page. This is a forum in which users share. Emphasis on share.

Your attitude (read this thread again) will get you bounced off this forum eventually. Been done before.
