Cannot open AVI file

Ok. Here is my situation.

I have an AVI file, which is 6 seconds long (i can play it in windows media, so the video codec is fine).

When i try and open the AVI file in Gif Animator 5.0, i get the following:

Unable to Open File [G:\logomain.avi]

File Reading Error
[17101:1:42]

i've tried this same file in MPG, didn't work. I've also tried many other files, and none of them work.

Why don't you try to reinstall the whole program? It might be running unstable and unable to recognize files to open. ^_^

I have the same problem, I can't open avi files with Ulead anymore. It says Unable to open the file. [17101:7:1] I re-installed UGA, but still the same problem occurs.

I used hypercam[full frames uncompressed] to record clips, which gives the videos superb quality. Maybe this could be the problem.

the avi files work with my winamp and classic media player, but not ulead.
