Whenever I try to import a video I've just recorded with Action onto Sony Vegas Pro 11, it only imports the audio and there's no trace of the video whatsoever. I looked up some solutions online and they all said that I needed to install various codecs because apparently Sony Vegas didn't accept the mp4 format (Btw I ran a scan with MediaInfo on all of my recordings and it seems that all of them are AVC ). So I installed x264vfw, it still didn't work, then I installed ffdshow, no luck, xvid, divx, none of these worked. Anything help, thanks in advance."
