You need a VFW DV codec, like the one available from Mainconcept or Panasonic.

Vegas generates perfectly standard DV files, but its DV codec is only available from within Vegas itself. You need to install a VFW (Video for Windows) compatible DV codec for Virtual Dub to work with Vegas DV AVI files. There is a free one from Panasonic, another free one from Matrox and one from Main Concept at a small cost. I don't happen to have the links to the Panasonic and Matrox codecs handy, but Main Concept is www.mainconcept.com

(The Canopus files work because Canopus installs a VFW compatible DV codec to handle their flavor of DV files.)

Thanks that did it. Is there a difference in quaily when choosing one of the three available?

I have tried all three and it appears to me that the Main Concept DV codec produces higher quality output. Of all the DV codecs I have tested, the Vegas DV codec is the best looking of the bunch by far. It's too bad they don't make it available in a VFW version.

StormMarc, use Satish's frameserver. Don't waste time or quality with a needless render.
