I had a heck of a time getting the 64bit version of x264vfw to work with Sony Vegas...I mean "Movie Studio" as it is now called in version 12. You have to use the 64bit codec to encode with the 64 bit version of Movie Studio but after installing the codec wouldn't show up when I go to Render as....
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (Google Affiliate Ad).
Note: If you want to use 64bit windows with the 32bit version of vegas and the 32 bit version of x264vfw it will work fine. The below information is for getting x264 encoding to work with the 64bit version of Vegas (Movie Studio).
Problem: 64 bit version of x264vfw (x264vfx64) would not show up in Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 (or Vegas Pro) for encoding with the 64 bit version of Movie Studio.
Solution: Default install location of x264vfw is c:\Program Files\x264vfw64 instead of C:\Windows\SysWOW64....so the fix is to change the install path when installing x264vfw64 to:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
I guess if you install it to the default location (Program Files) that you might be able to add that to the Windows path environment variable and have it work...maybe (haven't tried it).
Long story:
I tried many different versions of this 64 bit codec and got it to work but only sorta....when i updated to the newer version it wouldn't work anymore and I couldn't figure out why version 20 of the codec would work yet version 37 would not. By 'would not work' I mean it would install and I could run the configure shortcut it installs to the start menu but it would not appear in Movie Studio's codec list to actually use it from within Movie Studio....finally figured it was the install location (an think it might work if adding to the Windows path if using the default codec install location...but haven't tested that).
