sony vegas movie studio 9 problem

[freefalle 0]

let me start by saying, I know enough about computer editing to just get by.
I sent DSE an email asking him this question but I thought it might be worth putting out to the forum.

The DZ I work at just bought Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9. I loaded it on the computer and tried to edit video captured with my cx100. I had saved the video clips in a folder on my desktop and then imported the video into sony vegas. The clip will import fine but there is no audio with it. I believe they are mpeg files. the files play find when I watch them in windows but there is no audio when the files are in Vegas.

Anyone have any ideas what Im doing wrong or how to fix it? Any help would be appreicated. I use an older version of vegas on my laptop and never had this problem with it.


Thanks

Be sure you have DVD Architect installed; it installs the AC3 decoder needed for MP4 video.

Im sure its installed, I opened it up and had to register it.

Can you shoot 10 seconds of video and send to me via FTP? I'll stick it in VMS10 and see what's up.
I'd hazard a guess that something has jacked your video/audio codecs. DId you install Klite, buy any chance?
Next step try reinstalling VMS

I tend to agree with you abou the codec. I did install some codec but Im not sure it was klite. Should I try to install klite? I can ftp you a clip and we can go from there. Thanks DSE.

no, please don't install any more codec packs. They're often more messy than they're worth.
Uninstall Vegas.
Reinstall Vegas.
that should fix your problem.
