AVI issue in pro 4X

[JRider]

I can't open an AVI file any more. switched to QuickTime 7.5.5 but still doesn't work.

Have you tried the latest version of Quicktime? I think from memory it is 7.6.9. Works for me with X4.

And what kind of .avi are you talking about. Apart from uncompressed .avi (huge at 65 GB an hour of video), it is merely a wrapper extension, covering more than 800 video formats, including the highly compressed DivX and XVid. So right click on one of your files in the VS library window if possible (I realise it won't open in the timeline), and copy ALL its Properties here please.

I can't select them to copy. it says MJPEG compressor, 24bits 640 x 480

It appears that this is a codec problem. Updating the commonly used codec will help you fixed the issue.

Here are some of the codecs that you may want to install.
RealPlayer: http://www.real.com/
DivX: http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/codec-pack
XviD: http://downloads.xvid.org/downloads/xvidcore-1.3.2.zip
Windows Media Player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... dia-player or just download the Windows Encoder at http://www.microsoft.com/expression/pro ... rview.aspx
QuickTime: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Direct X: http://on-msn.com/aLrk0j (WinXP)
Direct X: http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/window ... tx-11.aspx

If downloading the codecs did not work, you can convert the video to a mpeg compatible format.
