Vegas AVI files can't be read in ULead DVD software

TonyW wrote on 9/5/2003, 10:43 PM

After outputting an AVI file from Vegas Video 3.0 I am unable to use it in any ULead product. I use ULead DVD Workshop SE to create my DVDs. At the moment I am having to import the Vegas files into Windows Movie Maker (which reads them fine) and then resave them as AVIs before importing them into DVD Workshop. A real pain. Does anyone know if this might be a codec issue with Vegas, and if so, how I can fix it? I have no compatability problems with any of the ULead created AVI files. All programs will read them fine (including Vegas!)

I believe this thread might contain your answer.

Uncheck "Create an open DML (.avi version 2.0) compatible file" in the custom>video page of the .avi render dialog

OR

render the MPEG-2 file in Vegas to the parameters the DVD app requires. This latter is the preferred method.

"This latter is the preferred method." Why is that?

How do you determine a given apps codec preferences? Nero 6 "transcodes" my Vegas mpeg2. ParticleIllusion2SE requires I rerender a given clip with "Create an open DML compatible file" unchecked before I can apply the clip as a background app for animation. So many codecs, so little time.
