The files im trying to import are .avi files, but in vegas pro it says the file type is unknown and when i try to import it it says there was an error with the codec. I know action uses its own codec, but i managed to fix this problem before, i just dont remember how. I remember that i had a problem when it was mp4 files, so i started recording in AVI, which them seemed to fix the problem for me. I was able to just drag and drop and be able to get the 2 audio tracks and video without any problems. But for some reason it doesnt work. I have no idea how to fix this. I can play the files just fine in Splash 2.0. I dont want to convert the files bcs that would take so much time since they are so big, and i tried converting one of them, but that made this distorted square in the middle of the video for some reason.

Try this: Go to C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro\FileIO Plug-Ins\compoundplug, and rename (or delete) compoundplug.dll, then open Vegas

If it isn't worked, change codec to mp4.

I hope it is worked.
