Vegas Pro 10 and DivX Codec

After upgrading to Vegas Pro 10.0a 64-bit, I can no longer open in the timeline or trimmer any file encoded with the DivX codec. Further, I can no longer customize an .avi render to use the DivX codec.

I upgraded the DivX Pro codec to 6.9.2, as part of the DivX Pro 8 bundle. That was no help.

Is there some "registration" of the codecs that must be accomplished before Vegas Pro 10.0a will recognize and use them?

Do you have the 64-bit version of the DivX codec? If not, you can't use DivX in any 64-bit application.

I have the same DiVX version, and just created a pair of test renders in Vegas Pro 10, it was just a SMPTE color bars, 5 seconds with a timecode added to the bottom.
I rendered a DVD mpg and a 720p mp4.
Re-rendered both in DiVX Converter, in their respective resolution.
Added both the .divx files into a new Vegas project, with no problem.

My DiVX installation have not been updated since I installed VP10.

System:
Win 7-64 bit
Vegas Pro 10 - 64 bit

I just rendered a DivX file in Vegas Pro 10a 32-bit using the DivX 6.9.2 Codec (4 logical CPUs) and when I dropped the file into the 64-bit version of Vegas Pro 10a it could not open the file.

I've been in touch with the people at DivX because of issue I'm having not only with Vegas 10, 64-bit but with their own software as well. I went back to Vegas 9 to convert a TS file to DivX and it too about 26 hours! Trying to do the same in their own program, the conversion hangs up at 11%. There is no DivX option in Vegas 10, 64-bit. So after all of this I contacted Divx and their reply was:

"Our software is now officially 64bit supported.

Our Pro Codec is also optimized for most common multithreaded processors, so you can use this either in our software or third-party encoding applications and media players."

I have the latest software, so the mystery is why does this not show up in Vegas 10 if everything is 64-bit compatible? Is this a Vegas issue or a DivX issue?

Sony applications have never officially supported Divx / Xvid, so you may want to rethink the question.
