Truncated Video Files

Post by eki »

I downloaded an avi from megaupload of a tv show to make into a music video. When I downloaded it, it was truncated, but I installed codecs and now it works fine in my windows media player, however is its still truncated on the video editor. I cant see the whole video when I try to edit, it ends abruptly. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Welcome to the forums!! :lol:

Unfortunately there are many video formats which use the .avi extension, so we have no real idea what we are dealing with here. Please right click on one of the .avi files *inside* Video Studio -- either in the library window or timeline -- and copy ALL its properties, video and audio, here please.

Please also tell us what codecs you installed. If it was a codec mega pack, they often cause more problems than they are worth if you installed the whole thing. Sometimes codecs in them cause conflicts with codecs installed by other programs, like Video Studio...

Is that what you needed to know? Most of that means nothing to me. The file is working fine on windows live movie maker, but I don't like the way the program is set up as much.
