AVI to Sony Vegas Pro Issues

  • When importing AVI to Sony Vegas, popup message says missing codec error.
  • When opening AVI with Vegas Pro, get "Unsupported video format" message.
  • No video in Sony Vegas when importing an .avi, only audio.
  • Sony Vegas no video when importing an .avi file (ONLY sound). Installing every possible codec still could not solve the problems.
  • Importing AVI files into Sony Vegas I could only see the audio. After installing Divx and Xvid codec, AVI problem solves temporarily. Then Xvid codec won’t work and there is no video for AVI files in Sony Vegas.
