Question / Help OBS records audio and when i convert it Sony Vegas cannot open it

[Hsarb]

sony vegas is incredibly sensitive to system codec configurations. if you've ever installed any codec packs, you're basically boned.

as a general rule, avoid codec packs. if you've already installed one, you might have to reformat and reinstall your system. uninstalling the codec packs won't work. there's probably a way to fix this by editing the registry, but i haven't be able to.

Haven't installed any codec packs but thanks for the heads up

I'm coming to the conclusion that this is indeed a codec problem and not an issue with OBS at all. I installed my copy of Sony Vegas on a laptop, not my usual machine, and I get the same problem as you are seeing. I've tried digging around on the internet to see if I could fix it but nothing works :-( I'll keep digging and let you know if I find anything. You could also ask on the forums at creativecow.net which is where I get a lot of help on Vegas problems.

Ah ok fair enough, thank you so much for your help you've been great. i'll ask on other forums too. i really appreciate your help, was my first time posting in an online forum and you've given me a lot of help.

In the screenshots you posted earlier in this thread you did not configure it properly,
All audio devices are on track 1 and you only selected track 1 in the recording settings, so obviously you will only get 1 track in Vegas.

Also why are you demuxing the file,?

Ok i'll give the recording a try again tomorrow and will see how it goes. Thanks Osiris :)

I also just installed sony vegas 13 and could add an mp4 with muiltiple tracks just fine.

Just wanted to do a double check but I think this is what @Hsarb is seeing in Vegas:

If this is what you are seeing then I don't really think that the OBS audio settings are a problem, from what I can tell and please @Osiris correct me if I'm wrong, the resultant file should have one audio track with all devices mixed in together and even that doesn't appear in Vegas

That's exactly what I'm seeing

This is what i am seeing in sony vegas pro 13, with 2 tracks configured.

I only get the flatline audio track when i open a rendered video if i open it unrendered as a raw file it has nothing but the video track. rendered it has the turqoise tinted track

 

[Osiris]

What do you mean raw file? The mp4 from OBS?

Yeah

Right noob mistake on my part, @Hsarb make sure you are on build 770 of Sony Vegas 12, I just upgraded my test machine where I saw the problem and now it's fine.

No idea how to check build or change/update it. sorry to ask but could you tell me how?

 

[Adrian Schofield]

Go to Sonycreativesoftware.com, log on, go to Downloads, Updates, Vegas Pro 12 and Download and install the patch.

Thanks Adrian, it says the latest patch i can download is build 394. should i still download this or should i find other means to get the patch

 

[Adrian Schofield]

You can try that but I think that's the original build version. You do have Sony Vegas Pro 12 correct? Make sure you are looking at the Vegas Pro 12 updates and not the Vegas Pro 12 Suite updates

Ahhh my bad was looking at the suite ones. Thanks again

 

[Hsarb]

Well I have Vegas 11 and for whatever reason my brain thought it was 12. When I looked for the Vegas 11 downloads I couldn't see any so I don't know where I could get the most recent build for 11

Go to where you were before, Downloads, Updates, at the bottom of the Vegas section choose All Vegas Updates. Scroll down a bit until you find this, the entries don't appear to be in any sensible order so scroll carefully :-)
