Well, I'm taking Audio for Visual Media again (which I did the FLCL video last year) and wee need a video clip for a group project. I have the entire movie (Tron :p) in AVI on my computer, and it plays just fine in Media Player Classic, but whenever I bring it into Ableton Live, or Sony Vegas, it doesn't show the video. Ableton doesn't give me anything, and Vegas gives me audio. Windows Movie Maker plays it just fine. double you tee eff is going on here? I need a movie editor that will open this right, so I can cut it at the right places. D:

Adobe after effects?

don't have it installed, and I don't really want to install 5436456 different programs, just to get this fixed. D:

ive used corel video editor for video editing purposes, i think its because the video's codec is not supported by your 2 programs?

I assume you have CCCP installed?

Convert to a tiff sequence?

If Sony Vegas is like Sony Sound Forge (which I highly suspect is the case), then it doesn't render through DirectShow or VFW which makes it really annoying to feed stuff into, if the file isn't a format specifically supported by Sound Forge...
Dunno a solution other than reencoding unfortunately - I guess you could try searching to see if there's some add-on or something to get it to read using system codecs than stupidly using their own.

MPC/WMP definitely renders via DirectShow. I would expect Windows Movie Maker to also render through MS's own DirectShow system.

Heh, just re-encode it into something it does accept then.

It's fudgeing AVI the most standard fudgeing video format! Urgh.

I can't re-encode it; it fudgeing over heats my computer less than half way through re-encoding something.

AVI isn't a video format - its a video container.

DivX, h264 are video formats - which are streams within a container.

In this case, theres a video format within the AVI that Vegas doesn't like.

You don't have much choice but to re-encode it if you want it to work with Vegas.
