Everything worked fine since I reinstalled windows…
After successfully installing windows I downloaded some codecs and installed Quicktime, After Effects and Sony Vegas. I opened a project with h264 videos in Sony Vegas but the preview was a black screen. When i tried some uncompressed videos in sony vegas and the h264 videos in After Effects, they both looked alright. I’m suck at Sony Vegas and I couldn’t find a solution, so pls help me, why are they black?
Sorry for my english and if you didn’t realize what I’m talking about take a look at this picture and try to help if you can=): http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/9200/succks.png

Sony Vegas has habit of not playig nice with third party codecs, usually a restart of the program fixes such problems but sometimes they are inherent.

Sony Vegas has never (in my experience) worked with H264, it’s not really designed to be able to edit that, it’s a DV-AVI editor at heart.

I’ll never understand why people have to install “some codecs”. This always fucks up your OS.

h264 works fine with Vegas here, no codecs installed. Try to deinstall them.

lol, if you have no codecs installed, you won’t be able to watch any video at all (except for uncompressed RGB).

You should probably back out of this thread right about now.

Holy Windows installs a bunch of codecs itself when you set it up.
And this thread is a good example for what occurs, when you try to force WMP to play videos with the help of 3rd party codecs.

“Sony Vegas has never […] worked with H264” ymmd.

Yep, omniscient supervisor chris wants me out of this thread.

Sony Vegas does not support h264 in an mp* container natively, and that is a fact.
