Yep, and I enter everything that the tut tellls me too. Is this right?

But in Vegas it comes up like this in the trimmer

See, media offline and only 6 seconds of audio O_O Am I doing anything wrong?

lol, i think i know what you're doing

see where it asks you to put in the code? and when you open a file in avic XVID or DIVX comes up in the Description code? well, in the Used Codec space you want to reverse it. So if the description code is DIVX you want to type XVID in the Used codec space and vice versa.

and it is caps sensitive so if its in caps, keep it in caps

lemme know if that works!

No, that didn't work

Tried it in upper and lower case. This might be the problem though; when I open up a file in avic it comes up like this

hmm, thats not supposed to happen. :S:S have you tried it with another file or different episode? just to see if it works. cos if it does then the error might be with that particular BSG ep:P

Yeah, I've tried it with different eps of s1. Exactly the same thing comes up.

Ooh, it's different with S2.....

UGH. I entered "DIVX" in "Used", opened it on Vegas and it's sort of there, it doesn't say "offline" in the trimmer but it's like 'invisible' and when I imported some on the timeline it says it's offline there :'(

Grrr, BOONE!

Boone indeed!!! try it in lower case. that's what i meant about it being case sensitive. oh, i put caps sentitive up there ^^^ sos. if its in lower case, keep it in lower case. if its in caps, keep it there. try it again for that season 2 one and put 'divx' in lower case and see what happens

It won't let me open it up in the trimmer at all then

I scroll down and the option isn't in black anymore if you know what I mean. Sorry. I don't know what it is about me and technology!

It seems to hate me!

lol, thats ok! what do you mean the option isn't in black? do you mean like the episode? cos once you change the code you have to re-import it into vegas. its kinda like when you delete or move a clip on your comp then open a vegas project and you have to import it again, if you know what i mean

Sorry, I'm rubbish at explaining stuff;

Do I need to import it? I've just been using "explorer" instead of importing them.

lol; thats ok

I'd import them; that's what i do

just see if it works that way. you might not be able to use the avic changer unless you import, im not sure

but give it a try

Nah, didn't work just came up with an error.

Oh well, I'll have to convert them all with another programme or use my sister's computer then

I don't understand why it won't work for me

Nvm, thanks so much for all your help Kat

ok, Compositing Mode. Is there a way to get it on a single clip only? The way I'm doing it now is the whole timeline but that sucks cos then every clip has to have an overlay or you can't see it :S and I just want to overlay some clips; is there a way to add a compositing mode onto just one clip?
