Cannot play AVC file created in Sony Vegas HD Platinum 10

[jtmk]

Hi all,

First post on here and wanted to pick your brains!

I cannot play an AVC file in VLC on a Win7 Ultimate machine that I rendered using Sony Vegas HD Platinum 10. I have tried changed the demux module to FFMpeg but still no joy.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

JT

Is your Computer fast enough?

[jtmk]

The processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3 GHz and I have 4 Gb of RAM installed. Is that fast enough?

When I try to play the file all I get is a black screen.

Anyone?

Do you have accelerated video output checked?

[jtmk]

Yes it is checked. Does VLC Player actually support AVC files?

Do I need to purchase a separate codec such as CoreAVC?

Can you play this file on your system using any other player?
Can you play this file on another system (faster CPU & GPU)?

These parameters are too demanding on the hardware:
Maximum bit rate : 22.0 Mbps
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels

The problem may be not in VLC itself.

Try to change "Output" to DirectX or OpenGL


Using VLC 1.1.11 on my system:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
1 GB RAM
Win XP 32 bit

... file with these parameters can be played but video is jumpy:

Does the playback work better if you mux the video to TS container with tool called tsMuxeR ?
