File format mismatch on importing captured AVI

[Fred S]

I previously used VideoStudio 10 to capture and then edit my DV Camcorder files, this was on Windows XP and I never had any trouble with this. I have just captured my final DV tape with this camcorder (I'm about to get a new camcorder) on this old PC, however I have now got a new Windows 7 PC, and am now trying VideoStudio Pro X4. I have moved this captured AVI file to the new PC but as soon as I try to import it into VideoStudio I get the following:

File format mismatch
1081:1:3

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I have used some other software to conver the AVI file into a DVD compatible MPEG2 file, so I guess I could do my editing on this instead if all else fails?

Thanks in anticipation

You use the term 'import', but which exact command are you choosing when you right click in the timeline: Insert Video (which is what you should be using) or Insert Digital Media (which amongst other things can read and import from a DVD)?

Well I had been using the Folder icon, which I now see says "Import Media Files". When I tried "Insert Video" from the File menu I now get the following error:

Catastrophic failure
17101:70:2

I also just installed my old VideoStudio10 and I get exactly the same. The file itself can be played normally (outside of VS) and I even used Windows DVD Maker to burn it as a DVD.

I am having the same issue.

I won't be happy if it turns out the warning that should occur when the files are assembled is not issued until encoding time.

Data should always be validated on input.

Tried again and now it is working. No idea why.

So for now my problem seems to have mysteriously fixed itself.
