I filmed a short 3 minute video on my digital stills camera (I have no video camera), and when I open it with Vegas 7 the video is all messed up. I can still play it on VLC Player, though...
I believe the file's encoded as Mpeg-4v2... file type is .avi...

P.S.
I searched the forums, and couldn't find a relevant solution...

vlc is a very clever player that can play alomst anything, but to edit footage you need to find and install the correct codec.

Try googling ' codec 4v2' and see what you can find to install.

JVC DV5001e (big cam), Sony PC6E (tiny cam), Vinten pro5, PAG light, SM58, Sony ECM50, Sony C-76, 0.5x convertors for sony, Rode video mic, Vegas 7.

I tried searching on google, and I installed DivX 6.4, which seemed to solve the problem of the video playing on DivX (apparantly DivX 5 is too old?), but it still didn't help with Vegas...
Do you have any more suggestions?

maybee try encoding again as svcd or dvd compatable mpeg

that might do it

Well, I'm not that good with editing and the likes, so if you have some guidelines or recommendations I'd be more than glad to listen...

Thank you.
