Warning an error occurred while opening a codec

Warning: An error occured while opening one or more files.

So recently I tried using Vegas Pro 17 with AVI files but it didn’t seem to work. I learned that I needed a codec pack for them to work, which I installed. Now, it works 50% of the times and when it doesn’t, I get an error message saying «Warning: An error occured while opening one or more files. The file is most likely corrupted or of an unknown format.» The problem is not with my computer since my computer reads it as an AVI file, but Vegas doesn’t for some reason. Does anyone know how to fix this? It’s getting really annoying, I have to re-shoot my video all over again for it to work.

History will be loaded for Warning: An error occured while opening one or more files.

You may have done less good than harm by installing an invasive codec pack on an editing machine. Suggest you roll it back to a saved system backup and start proper troubleshooting.

Now, please read this post thoroughly, including #12.

There are hundreds of different codecs possible in the AVI container, and that’s where we need to start. Thanks!

Alright, thanks! I removed my previous Codec and downloaded GoPro Quik Studio to get Cineform VFW (.avi) as specified in #4 of the second link you showed me. Now I don’t know how to put the Codec into Vegas, could you help me?

Hello, thank you for replying so quickly! Sadly, that’s not what I’m looking for! This tutorial helps for the rendering part of a video(when it’s done editing), but what I need is help for the part where I try to put my video into the project in order to edit it! Even though I installed Cineform Codec, I still get the error message! Thanks in advance!

Well, if you follow the tutorial, you would take the current file you have, follow the instructions, and «render out» to a new Cineform .avi file, able to be read by Vegas Pro or Vegas Movie Studio. Essentially, you are «Transcoding» the file, and enabling it to be used as an «Intermediate», or «new source» file.

Just because you have the Cineform codec (or others such as Grass Valley HQ/HQX, Avid DNxHD/DNxHR, Magic YUV, etc.), does not make what your file is. The camcorder, camera, PC Capture software, Capture Card, etc., would need to have the requisite Container and CODEC available to use with the file you have recorded.

Example: My Canon 80D «Records» in an .mov or .mp4 container. For the .mov, it captures the recording in an ALL-I (non-compressed) format per this MediaInfo:

Or, I can use a slightly higher compression .mp4 file. Same with GoPro Hero’s, or either of my Sony AX-33/53 cameras (uses XAVC-S, and I have bit rate set for 100 Mbps @3840×2160 29.970P what I typically shoot).

On the tutorial, he puts his video on Vegas before rendering it with cineform. My problem is that I can’t get it in Vegas at first! When I try to add the .avi file in Vegas, I just get that error message! Should I use another Video Editor?

Sony vegas ошибка an error occurred while opening one or more files

Various recording software may use a different encoding process / different codecs, and some may not be quite compatible with the Movie Maker software.

Some options you may try are;

* Convert the source video (I often use something like the HandBrake utility, which works well and is free: https://handbrake.fr/ ), for example, convert it from AVI into MP4 format (if the video is already in MP4, running it through a convertor utility still may work though), then try the converted video with the Movie Maker software and hopfully it will be compatible then.

Or, if I recall correctly, and as you mention about you use Litecam HD, I think that has an option to convert a video (you can access from the Preview mode) it makes from avi over into mp4 format (though I’m not sure if the Litecam convertor would make an mp4 compatible with the Movie Maker software — worth a try though).

* Find and install codecs which may help resolve the issue, but this is a hit-or-miss; installing codec packs might work, but then again it might not. If you want to give that a try, I might suggest to download and install the basic K-lite codec pack from here:
http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

* Experiment with using different output settings / options with your recording software. This may or may not work though.

* Use a different recording software that will (hopefully) make videos compatible with the Movie Maker software.
