camera generated .avi files

I have imported .avi files from my digital camera. They appear as a solid red frame in the workspace. When I preview the screen is black, but I can hear the audio. I have tried numerous files generated by at least 2 different cameras and experience the same red box in the layout area and the blank/black screen in the preview area.

You need the right codec installed. I am guessing this is MJPEG. Install the latest “generic build” of FFDshow at the “SVN builds by clsid” section. Make sure you’re downloading from clsid’s section. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/
