Can't Import Avi

[rhask472]

I have Creatoe 2009 and every time I try to import an AVI file either for editing or converting in VideoWave, I get a pop up saying 'the file(s) you selected contain missing or invalid video streams, and have not been added'. I doubt that every AVI I have is bad.........any suggestions?

what are you trying to "import" the video avi file from ???

I'm just pulling it from another folder. Since I posted the question I've played around with it a bit and found that if I convert the AVI to MPEG it works fine. I'm wondering if its a codec issue.

No Frank asked for the source of these files, not where you are keeping them…

 

What are you using to convert them? If it is on the same PC, then the codecs are there too.
