I have AVI files on my hard drive from a Finepix s5200 digital camera - they play fine in Windows Media - BUT only Audio imports into Vegas7

I have a two day deadline for this project PLEASE HELP!!!!

I found a work around - but it is lengthy - I imported the clips into Windows Movie Maker (which recognized both video and audio) and rendered to a wmv. file - which then imports fine into Vegas 7.

I would still DEARLY love to know how to import them direct into Vegas though - as the thought of pre rendering EACH file through Movie Maker is enough to make me ....sick.

-N.M.

Does it use an MJPEG codec? If yes, do a search here for MJPEG to find a codec you can download which will allow the video to work. If not, figure out what codec is needed, download one, and install it.

I have no idea what codec it uses and I do not know how to find out. - All of my Media player play it ok - so I assumed the codecs were not an issue. Do you have to load Codecs specifically intro Vegas?

Go here (http://www.morgan-multimedia.com/) and download the MJPEG V3 codec trial version. That'll fix your problem.

There are different types of codecs. Vegas uses the "Video for Windows" codecs. You obviously have a codec that works in WMP but it's not a "VfW" codec.
