Sony Vegas Help?

[Darkstar10]

Alright first of all i want to explain to any admin on totalbf2 that i would have placed this in the Support thread but its not anything about sound cards, video cards, login issues, etc, but its more to the side of media so i thought i'd put it here. if its a problem then feel free to move it.

alright here's my problem. i have sony vegas 6 and for my last video i had to render it using windows movie maker, which is a big let down due to the lack of quality that sony vegas has so often given at a low file size. the videos i rendered with battlelauncher were rendered with the xvid codec, but when i go to vegas to add, edit, etc... it says "Video: Stream Attributes could not be determined."

is the xvid codec not supported or something? any help?

Can I just say that I'm working on a similar problem with encoding with Xvid and DivX (.avi video)
So In the mean time use .wmv 9 to encode on the DVD quality setting at 1 Mbps CBR with audio at 96kbps and it's as good as any DivX encoder at the same quality to file size ratio.

hi I use Sony Vegas 6 too.

This should be the solution to your problem:

I like to encode in wmv so ppl don't have do download any codecs to watch my videos. But it requires more bitrate to get the desired quality.

so thats a codec correct? wmv 9?

Yes, but you're have to add a slightly higher video bit rate than you would on DivX, say 500k more. (1.5 Mbps is good)
I just tried a Divx encode with default settings and it works. So best not to fiddle with anything after you install a fresh codec.

I had two things Driving me nuts....Not being able to import Xvid/Divx into Vegas, and having to Change the 4CC to be able to.

What started was my Computer/Vegas would not import Xvid or Divx,But My wifes computer/Veags would."Without Changing the header "4CC". WHY?? This is what bothered me.!!


I found out what the probelm was. First You need to install The Divx codec "of course". I installed the pro Trial version.Still works to decode Video when the trial is up,Just cant Encode.

The main thing is to UNISTALL "XviD video codec" this is where the conflict is, with this Codec.

You may have problems with the Audio,But just De-Mux it then import it into Vegas.


Hope this Info Helps somebody......
