Put it in Virtual Dub and use a random codec

Huffyuv or sth

Then render again and put it in vegas

Try that
Parent
question...

so i need a codec or something like that for sony vegas that it can read avi. ???
Parent
Might be possible yes

I know its the case for megui if you want encode it in nero digital sound
Parent
yeah you do
Parent
Try downloading vegas again from another source + reinstall, or uninstall every single codec and install cccp codec pack.
you need to install a few programs, I can help with this one
gl razzah, but im off!
Usually you should use uncompressed avis for vegas, it cant handle them or can it?
it can ...

Most moviemakers use the huffyuv codec for a small compression and then import it into vegas
Parent
yea I did a movie myself with that "codec" but it doesnt make a big compression so I dont count it =P
Parent
Ah , I havent really tried a high compressed file

E: It just says media offline when I try it ..
Parent
i installed this huffyuv stuff and now ?
Parent
It wont work in your case with huffyuf :<

You need to be able to open it in Virtual Dub
Parent
you encoded the clips?
dnno...

my mate put the avis from his cam to my pc...

now i have 44 small clips which iwant to edit with sony vegas
only vlc player can read the files...wmp and sony vegas cant :/
Parent
just get the clips uncompressed. vegas can only edit specific codecs and uncompressed (xvid, divx etc do not work)

should be fine after that-

Virtual Dub is a simple program to uncompress- youll lose some quality though unless you have the file source still from the cam.
i have virtual dub 1.7.9 and i tried to load the avis but it didnt work

Try version 1.7.7

1.7.9 is beta I believe
Parent
download sorenson squeeze to compress / convert to quicktime mpg4 or whatever you like, i would take quicktime for the best quality but i work with Avid and aftereffects.

what you have installed is not codecs - it's only directshow filters
you can try stream to file + transcode option in vlc
