If UVS claims that a file that clearly exists in the specified location is not accessible, the file is likely damaged, or the file header information doesn't match the contents. Another possibility for AVI files is that the audio or video codec that was used to encode the file is missing from your system.

Try using the "Insert Video" menu item, browse for the file, and then click on the "Info" button to display the file's properties. Highlight the entire thing, copy it to the clipboard, and post it here.

Do you have the ffdshow MPEG4 video codec and a MP3 audio codec on your system?

thoff I don't know should I try to download those codec's?I don't remember ever downloading those are they standard?

No, they are not standard, and without having the codecs on your system, you won't be able to play video encoded using them -- you will have to download and install them.

Good reply THoff, I too have had this issue. I have found that I get best results if I use UVS to do the capturing/creating of the video. If other packages have created the video (even package I have on my PC, and there for the correct codes should be present), the video and sound my be out of synd or other issues. I have put this down to the other packages did not create the video correctly (ie without errors) and that playing the video is not as demaning on "correctness" as is the need when pulling it apart for editing.

Your comments are welcome.
