Sony vegas pro 8b Problem

[shibapower]

I have a problem with my sony vegas pro 8:
When i import a video and i try to play it i only hear the sound.
I wonder or someone else ever had this and might be able to help me out.
I have all the codec's i could find and the files i use are most of the time avi files.
I am looking forward to your answers , Shibapower

Hi Shibapower, Welcome to Muvipix

There are a few Vegas users here that I am sure can help you solve your problem.
Where do the avi files come from? Are they from a digital still camera or a minidv camcorder or some other device?

[shibapower]

These files are from a torrent site.
The files are anime episodes.
I make amv's so thats why i want to use vegas pro.

My guess would be that the files are not standard AVI format. Could possibly be mjpeg, do you know if you have a motion jpeg codec installed?
You can get a lot of information about a file and the codecs on your system with Gspot

I'm almost sure i got the right codec because i can play the file with windows media player.
But I wil try the program i hope that will work.
Tested and ill post a screenie for more details.

It is a DivX file... did you try installing the free DivX codec from http://www.divx.com
