I took some video with my digital camera and the resulting files were in the AVI format. When I imported them to my video editing tool, I was not able to edit them. It just so happens that I had the same experience. I finally figured out the problem was that all AVI files are not the same.
I went to the website to find help.
On http://www.gismdir.com/Computer/Video-Converter/, it suggested me that…
Apparently, the video that most current still image cameras shoot is what is called Motion JPEG video. This video is actually a series of still frames added together to create a moving picture. In order for these AVI or MPEG files to open correctly in some video editing programs, you'll need a third party codec installed.
There are also some further suggestions…
You would need to find a program that is able to open this file that can convert the file to just a regular AVI using the Microsoft AVI codec instead of a DivX MPEG 4 codec or render it to an MPEG 2 file.
If all of this has your head spinning, don't worry. There is an easier way around the problem. There are lots of video converter software programs that can fix this for you. I tried the free trials for a half dozen of them and my favorite was the Xilisoft Video Converter.
The Xilisoft Video Converter is fast and easy to use - it enables you to convert a video file to all of the popular video formats, such as AVI to MPEG, WMV to AVI, and WMV to MPEG. Also, the Xilisoft Video Converter provides an easy way to convert video files to popular audio file formats, like MP3 and a bunch of others. Plus, it supports all of the popular multimedia devices, such as PSP, iPod, MP4 player, mobile phone, Zune, etc.
I typically convert my digital camera files to WMV and the result is great quality that is ready to edit.
