Vegas 5 - Avi files with no video, only audio

dirkpitt wrote on 3/2/2005, 9:44 PM

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Vegas 5 on a new computer and have encountered a problem importing AVI files (encoded with divx 5.x codec). On the the import screen, it says for the the video that "stream attributes could not...", but I am able to import and view quicktime and DV avi files. I have installed both the Divx and Xvid codecs and am able to play the avi files in all media players.

Any help would be greatly appreciated since many of my clips are encoded in Divx avi.

Cheers,
Tom

Do a search on Xvid and DivX. You'll find hundreds of posts, solutions, and more.
Vegas won't natively open them, you've got some work to do.

Thanks for the reply. I figured out the problem, I had set my Xvid codec to decode all FourCC codecs, just had to switch that off to let the Divx codec handle the decoding and problem fixed!

Cheers,
Tom

Gotta love your screen name, Tom! One of my favorite people. His "father" is pretty cool too.
