Body: <p>In using Vegas Pro 13 on a new Windows 10 computer, I find that I cannot open AVI files. It's not a codec issue; the file will not open at all because Vegas doesn't recognize it as a type of file it can open.

  It seems that sometimes Vegas Pro's plugin that opens AVI files is corrupt or installed incorrectly (if this is the case, a reinstall may fix it).
  
  There is a simple fix that involves replacing the DLL file that controls AVI files.
  
  The file is called `aviplug.dll`. The file path will be similar to: `C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 13.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\aviplug\`
