Can Vegas be used with divx pro 5.2.1
 

Is there a plug-in or settings I can get or manipulate to allow divx pro 5.2.1 to work with vegas? I am working on a small project and I have noticed that the divix files will not load properly in vegas.

You will have to locate and install the proper codec. The Vegas should work fine with those files once the codec is installed. There are MANY threads about this - especially on Sony's main forum.

What's the source of these files and why can't standard DV-AVI files be used?

Edward, the problem I am having is that I was under the impression that once I installed divx pro 5.2.1 onto my system it would play and maybe even encode, but that has not been the case. So if I need to load some other codec, or the divx codec in another form, where do I find out where the codec is for download or purchase.


Thanks

Here's a couple of links. There are MANY more.

Thanks Edward.

Are these files in .AVI or some other fileformat (codec does not
have much/anything to do with the fileformat)?

They are in avi. I made them from my m2t files.

Which audio codec did you use? You can try loading it into
www.virtualdub.org, does that program give you a
warning on the audio part? I can load xvid files perfectly on
my Vegas installation, at the moment I don't have divx installed,
so can't test that. But with Virtualdub you should be able to
convert it to uncompressed and then load that.

Thanks Rob, I'll give it a try
