Codec installation |
|
|
I need to download and install the codec for MM2 that will handle AVI files.
Footage is from 8mm camcorder that I shot, recorded to DVD using my stand
alone DVD recorder to import directly into MM. I convert the footage to AVI
using a conversion software to create an AVI file.
MM2 sees file just fine as AVI on the HD, but when importing, says requisite
codec isn't installed.
I thought I did just that with the automatic update codecs checkbox checked,
but apparently, I still need to install. Can't locate the file and do not
know what to look for.
Any help from the peanut gallery?
Thanks |

See the Importing Source Files > Video > AVI page of my site...
the auto downloading of codecs from the Microsoft site only gets you those
that are made by or distributed by Microsoft... many have to be gotten
elsewhere. The message doesn't tell you where.
