  • It didn't work and actually it f*cked up the original video file.. so beware and always try out with backups only.

  • @hapsutakki You can go back and change the FourCC to the original one and the file will be fine.

  • This is the easiest solution:

    You need convert AVI files into WMV, MPG, MP4, MOV supported by Sony Vegas. AVI files are not supported. Trust me I have tried to look for all the little codecs. I have downloaded Xvid. Doesn't work for me and Im sure for some others. This is the easiest way.

  • @Blueshadow2772 Converting a feature length film could take a few hours, Even a day on computers with slower processors. Changing the FourCC will work in most cases if you have the correct codecs installed, And saves loads of time.

  • Didn't work for me: win7 x64 + Vegas Pro 9c x64

  • It's work! I really, really thank you so much for this vid ! I've looking for something like that for so long, wrote post on Vegas forums about XVID AVI, and no one could explain me what to do ( beside: download XviD codec - I did but they obviously forget to mention about that tiny change :/ ) and you explain this problem in so simple way. Just thank you :)

  • I was trying to import DiVX files into Vegas, but it kept coming up with an error.

    After hours of searching, your video fixed the problem entirely! Cheers!

  • Thank you! Got this program when I first started with Sony Vegas 5 years back, laptop's hard drive recently broke down, loosing everything, and I couldn't remember the program's name. Looked for about a month and here it is. Cheers :D

  • This worked for me.

  • The 100% working codec for Sony Vegas 32/64 bit is

    Xvid-1.3.2

    Thumbs up if worked!

  • Thank you so much :*

    i've searched for this problem so long and NOW i finally found a solution thank you.

  • Thank you so much!!!

  • or you need to configure xvid to decode divx

  • This works, but you also need the DIVX codec.

    Google it...

  • You can also just change the extension of your avi file to mpg and it works. Did for me anyhow.

  • nice tut! thanks for the info! helped out!
