I noticed the K-Lite pack is attempting to install additional applications but they can be deselected during the installation.
I revisited this on yet another PC rebuild and I've updated the original post. There are no guarantee's but I figured I'd offer this up to everyone since it worked for me. I'd be interested to hear if this works for anyone who hasn't been able to get it to work thus far. If these don't work you might want to double back and try step 1A. I don't believe it hurts in any way since it points to another folder so if you can opt to take steps 1 -3 at once and then test your render and import. So what do I recommend for others? I would suggest trying Step 1 and then Step 3. Later on you will be presented with 3 check boxes you will need to clear to avoid installing AVG anit-virus and some other features. At one point you will see a list of codecs with some being checked and others not. Select "default without player" at the start. Important note: Step through this install slowly and review each screen. Following that I was able to render and import sound and video into Sony Vegas. I downloaded the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 10.0.0 and installed it. At this point I threw some caution to the wind and went "Mega". It still wasn't working.Īt this point I rendered a video clip using the AVI legacy option and realized that my problem wasn't limited to just Huffyuv Avi files as Vegas did not import any video for this avi file either. I tried this by using the method in Step 1 for the system32 folder install.
I saw this post on another user who got it to work by installing the 64 bit Huffyuv codec in the System32 folder rather than the syswow64 folder. In the end I believe it was just another way of accomplishing what I did in step 1, which was a far easier method IMO. I tried this command prompt method of installing the Huffyuv codec. It did not work on it's own but may be needed in combination with other actions. I first tried the solution offered in this YouTube video to install the Huffyuv codec on a Win7 64 bit PC. That caused me to start off taking a conservative an approach as possible, which for me meant just trying to find an isolated solution for installing a huffyuv codec. My first stop on my "Google Quest" to find a solution was at this LifeHacker Post where I learned when it comes to codec packs, less can be best and more can just cause more problems. I was working with as pristine an environment as one could have and I could not render and import Huffyuv renders.
This also meant I needed fresh installs of both Moviestorm and Sony Vegas (Movie Studio Platinum 9.0) I did restore data files from a backup I had but that should not have affected the system files. I had to put a fresh install of Win7 on my laptop due to a corrupted boot sector. To be clear, this solution enabled me to import Huffyuv renders with the sound in perfect synch for a 30 second test clip. Actually, while I may not be able to say with 100 percent certainly what worked I can make a fair assumption what did and hopefully provide a path others can repeat. Sounds great, doesn't it? I'll bet you are all in on this now. This has been the topic of a number of threads over the years and I wanted to document the steps I took that enabled me to successfully accomplish this.įirst off, I need to state that what works for one may not work for others and what worked for me may not exactly be so easily identifiable. EDIT: Just to be clear on the purpose of this thread: It is intended to assist those of us who prefer to render our Moviestorm videos using the Huffyuv codec and import the rendered video into Sony Vegas.
