Import AVI shows only audio track

When importing an AVI file (full movie), it only shows the audio track only. I've rebooted, deleted the file, re-imported, nothing works. The movie, however, shows in full through Windows Media Player.

Got it . . . it needed a codec installed :-)

Which codec is it exactly? I've had the same problem, but didn't know you had to download a codec. I ve ust converted the file to a WMV.

how does the wmv show on final product? I converted to MOV and its really fuzzy. Does anywone know if you can change settings to clean it up? I really don't want to do this whole movie over.

Thanks

AVI codec?: Personally, I bought and used the Morgan codec for years. Works fast and is 100% stable. The last version of VMS (P? I do not remember) has built in AVI support. Search this forum for AVI, there are several posts.

WMV?: Rendering to WMV can give a pale and slightly foggy result.
See this thread about it:
