Motion JPEG

I have a Canon S3 IS that produces Motion JPEG. I have tried to place the video into VMS but only the sound is added to a track. Is there a way to add a Motion JPEG directly to a video track in VMS? It imports directly & perfectly in a friends VideoStudio software. I'm using V.6 but have also tried the V.7 trial. Thanks

John, you can DL MainConcept MJPEG codec is a trial, but once you installed you'll be able to see the video in the TL.

The Canon S2 had the same issue. Check out this thread

SEW, I installed the FFdShow Codec and all works wonderfully! Thanks for your help. I greatly appreciate it!.

BTW in reply to an above post, I did install the Latest Quicktime 7.whatever, and it did nothing.

I considered the MainConcept MJPEG codec but free is better than $19 and the FFdShow Codec is great, has been around a while, is well supported by a user community and has many other features. Thanks

I installed the FFdShow Codec and worked for me in VMS, but I use adobe premiere elements to capture video with my camcorder and the video capture was choppy. I noticed the ffd icon in my icon tray so I uninstalled it and that fixed my capture issue. Now I use Windows Movie Maker to convert the movies from my Canon S3 to avi format.
