Pro 7 ? That's not even vista compatible is it ? Or 64 bit.

First of all, you can get rid of the error message on start up by going to Options - Preferences and turning off the media manager.

As for no video, that's a totally separate issue. You need to determine what codec you're missing - i.e. what codec is needed by that particular file?

I turn off Media Manager and the message don´t displays,but the video is still missing.What I should do?

As I said, you have to figure out what codec that file is using and find that codec for Vegas.

WHERE did the file come from?
What is the file extension?
If you run gSpot and point it to that file, what codec does it say it is?

NOTE: Extensions like ".avi" are simply WRAPPERS. Think of them as a paper sack. You can put ANYTHING in that paper sack. Some things in that paper sack you may recognize. Others you may not. However, someone can tell you what the stuff is that you don't recognize.

It's the same with Vegas - for the stuff it doesn't recognize, you have to teach it how - i.e. install the proper codec.

I run GSpot and I point it to the file but when i click OK down displays this:
Proposed Codec Solutions and Tests
and under it is text:
Rendering disabled by preference setting(see "Options > Settings" to change)
Than I go to Options,Settings,I enable Interaction with codecs I click OK and the system displays this:
Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.

This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow. GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.

The codec was tentatively identified as:

C:\Windows\system32\divxa32.acm
Unknown video codec #17

Ahh... divx.

Do a search here for "DivX" or "XVid". Lots of reading available to you. All I can say is:

1. Good Luck (some get it to work, some don't)

2. Use a more compatible format!

Could you send me a specific link about the divX?I make head of it
