VLC is a program which does not use a codec.
In the case of the codec that VLC does not support, it is normal that it cannot play back.

you are probably using 64bit sony vegas, right?
afaik there is only 32bit version of pacbit, 64bit software cannot access 32bit codecs.

a good alternative to packbit would be the dxtory rgb,  UtVideoCodec RGB http://umezawa.dyndns.info/wordpress/?cat=28 (http://umezawa.dyndns.info/wordpress/?cat=28) / http://umezawa.dyndns.info/archive/utvideo/?C=M;O=D (http://umezawa.dyndns.info/archive/utvideo/?C=M;O=D) or Lagarith http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html (http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html). These codecs have 64bit variants which you are able to use in Vegas. :)
