Avi file type support - video component codec

I was trying to make a movie out of the clips from my flip mino video camera.
I have a flip mino video camera. The file format that it generates is .avi.
I uploaded the .avi clips in Premiere Elements 7.  The audio part is OK but for the viedo part, I get a message that says that the codec is not supported.
AUDIO
Audio codec Name: XviD
Audio codec 4CC: XVID
VIDEO
Video codec Name: adpcm (0x0002) Microsoft Corporation
STREAM
Stream Type and A/V Interface
  Type: AVI
  I/L: Not supported.
What can I do?  Can I convert the files to another format; or should I use another software to make a movie?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Yes this is a common problem with Flip video. See this FAQ on how to manage your Flip video clips:

  • Getting an error "file not supported/necessary componant not installed

    Any help on a error im getting, file not supported/necessary componant not installed

    Jesse,
    From what you have described for Test 1, 2, and 3, I get the impression that you are OK with a new project, but that your are having problems with these saved projects.
    At this point, I think it important for you to keep a log of the project details to avoid confusion.
    Test #3.
    I am going to start with that Test 3 that was a new project, but almost successful (made it to about the 93% mark before transcoding error set in). I suspect that different factors are involved here than what brought you to the forum. Focus Step 12 in Test #3 where you said that you edited the movie line. How did you edit..added transitions, effects, titles, other? What was the length of the Timeline content? What DVD menu template did you use (how many main menu pages and how many scene menu pages)? When you went to Share/Disc/Disc and the burn dialog there, what did it say in the Quality Area of the burn dialog for Space Required and Bitrate? Also, at this time what did your computer show for available RAM and free hard drive space? Where were your scratch files (Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks) directed and did that drive have enough free space to meet the task?
    Test #1.
    Your success with this new project was expected. It would be nice to know what kind of .avi that you used, but, whatever they were, they worked to give you your DVD-VIDEO. What was the length of the Timeline content. What DVD menu template did you use (how many main menu pages and how many scene menu pages)? And, I am correct in assuming that this was an independant project...different source media and edits than # 3?
    Test #2.
    Here I believe is the true issue that brought you here.
    When you say "Open existing project", it this the project from Test #1 which you closed and saved? Or, is it another existing project?
    If you are not doing so now, please do Test #2 using the saved project prel from Test #1.
    Now, I would like you to open Premiere Elements 4, in the Welcome Screen select the "Open Project" Folder, in the dialog that opens click on the Test #1.prel. The project should load, and you should find yourself in the program's Edit workspace. OK, so far? If so, what do you do next?
    I was slow in typing again, so I hope that I am not out of sync with other messages between you and Hunt.

  • File Type Support in the Future?

    Hi all,
    I'm really tempted to buy either the 16GB or 32GB iPod Touch. I currently have a creative Zen Touch 20GB, so the touch will be my first iPod.
    Basically, the one thing I'm not too impressed with atm is the low level of file type support. Is it likely that in the future, the iPod Touch will accept AVIs, WMVs and WMAs etc through a firmware update?
    Thanks!

    PlaneHazza wrote:
    Thanks. I ask mainly because file types such as WMV, WMA, AVI etc are common and easy to manipulate files.
    So are the file types supported by QuickTime, iTunes and iPods.

  • Unsupported File Type: Invalid Video

    I'm creating a video project using iMovie. I'm now working on the DVD in iDVD and customizing my menus. I'm trying to drag pictures into the drop zone but I keep getting the message "Unsupported File Type: Invalid Video". Well first of all, its not even a video I'm trying to drag in, just regular JPEG photos. Second, I can usually drag pictures onto the main menu screen but when I get to the scene selections, that's when I start running into my problem. Has this happened to anyone else?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    No, I've tried that. See, I can import like, the first 6 photos, after that I start getting the message. I even try importing the photos that I've already imported again and those won't even import.
    Awhile ago while I had those six pictures imported, I saved the project, closed it and reopened it. The pictures werent there.
    I've been trying any photo now that I have on my computer and nothing will import.

  • Tried Most Everything... Error Type of file not supported... codec not installed

    Hi Friends: I have been battling with the error message of ... "Type of file not support or codec not installed."  I have been throughout the forums searching for answers and attempting various suggestions.  I am stumped and am reaching out for some wisdom and help.
    1.)    System Gateway – T-6859u, Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2Ghz, 4 Gig ram, Problem has existed on both Vista and upgraded Windows 7.  I have used Premiere since Premier 5 (Full version not elements) including versions 6 and PRO.  I have Elements on my laptop for convenience.
    2.)    Assets- Problem exists with all AVI files.  This includes files that worked previously but will no longer be recognized.  I have used Elements since version 7 was new.  It is only the last 4 months this has been and issue.  These are AVIs that previously working in Elements 7 from Panasonic DV camera and other DV sources. 
    3.)    Problem first appeared when Windows Update installed security patch KB975560.  Once the Security patch installed Premiere quit running AVIs.  When the patch was removed Premiere worked again. However, windows update continued to reload the patch.  The patch has now been removed and prevented from reloading.  However, the problem now persists.
    4.)    Other attempted repairs.  Reloading Premiere Elements 7, Upgrading to Windows 7, Removing and reinstalling K-Lite Codec packs inc standard and 64bit.  Loading LEADTOOLS.  None has repaired the problem  All the AVI files playback fine in other programs including Windows Movie Maker, Media Player Classic, WM player etc.
    I'm not sure what to do next.  I have been a dedicated Premiere user for so many years, I don't want to switch to another program.  Any suggestions friends?

    Welcome to the forum.
    What version of Apple's QT Player do you have installed?
    PrE relies on this much more than its big-brother, PrPro, until CS5.
    From my experience, QT  7.5.5 was my "last known good," and some problems have been reported with the 7.6.2 and 7.6.3 versions. 7.6.6 is out, and works well for many Adobe users.
    I would investigate updating QT Player.
    Also, FFDShow, an element in K-Lite has been death to PrPro for many people. Just having it installed brings PrPro to its knees.
    Though Adobe hides its CODEC's pretty well, K-Lite has been known to shift the priority of the Adobe MainConcept CODEC's. While it does not overwrite them, or delete them, it sets up some of its CODEC's to take priority. There are some older threads on Registry editing and utilities to reset the priority of the Adobe MainConcept CODEC's. Seems that Robert Johnson participated in those discussions and may have furnished the link to at least one utility.
    Those are all the thoughts that I have now, and none might be of use.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - Robert has not been around here lately, but does spend time on the Muvipix Community forum. I'd post there in the PrE 7 forum, and ask if anyone has any ideas too.

  • HT3775 avi file what is the require codec

    i dont understand why the avi file will not play on quicktime

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime. 
    If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time. 
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • AVI file giving Audio/Video file has no streams

    I try to import into CS5 Premiere Pro and it gives me the error. I am running on a Mac and the file works in VLC. It's pretty frustrating not to see the video except in the VLC player.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Playing a file is separate from editing that same file - totally different. Playability can contribute some info, but can also instill a false sense of security. Players, like VLC, are very good for playing, as they contain about everything needed, right in the player. They do not rely on the installed CODEC's in the system, so being able to edit that same file, may well prove impossible, as the NLE program will have to rely on the installed system CODEC's. Also, even if one has the particular, necessary CODEC installed, it does not mean that the NLE program can actually use it. This ARTICLE will give you a bit more background.
    As Harm mentions, it is likely an issue with at least one stream of the file and the CODEC that is needed to decode it. If you have a muxed file (both Audio and Video streams) you need two CODEC's - one for each stream. Next, they BOTH must work in PrPro. It is likely that you are either missing, one or both, or that PrPro cannot use one, or both. VLC Player doesn't need them from the system, as it obviously contains them internally. MediaPlayer Classic HC, and some others are good this way - they play almost everything. However, they do not insure that one has the CODEC installed and that it will work in the NLE. Great for playing, but not so good for insuring that that same file will edit properly.
    Good luck, and let us know what is inside that AVI file. This ARTICLE will give you some background on "AVI," and what can be inside that "wrapper."

    This is a user to user forum. We are iphone users like you, not Apple.
    You can find supported video files in the manual - Page139 maybe.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    You could also look in support.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended File Type Support

    Is there a list of file types that Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended supports. Looking specifically for cad stuff like microstation, autocad and esri files.
    Thanks

    Thanks AbhigyanModi!
    What I would like to do with acrobat pro extended 9 is for instance to convert a two-column glossary into Excel keeping the table format. Not sure if using English version will affect the text in the Swedish translation column or not. I've used Acrobat (Swedish version) to a minor extent at work so I'm familiar with some of its benefits, such as the "Copy as table" function.
    I think ibuying this software straight from retail is quite pricey for my needs and that's why I considered buying a used English version of Acrobat Pro extended. But I'm not sure it's worth buying an English version if it will limit the useability for my needs.
    Cheers!

  • File type support by SAP XI

    Hello,
    I looking for table with details about file formats that support by SAP XI.
    file format that support by SAP XI  with adding's (like Itemfield) and formats that not support by SAP XI.
    For example:
    File type .CSV support by SAP XI
    File type .EDI support by sap xi with Itemfield add in
    Thank you in advance for your help
    Elad

    XI talks with files using its File Adapter. This file adapter can pick up any file with any structure.
    After picking up the file, the task of adapter is to convert it into XI readable XML format. For this,
    - XI could directly understand input xml file or
    - XI could read text file using file content conversion or
    - u could write ur own code to read structures of any other file
    So no limitations as such.
    Regards,

  • Default File Types in inputFile Component

    This is a two part question in regards to some usability issues with the inputFile component. First, I'm using the inputFile component to upload files; however I need to be able to default the allowed (or rather default) file types in the Browse window. Is there any way to do this?
    If not, is there any way to manually create inputFile type logic? For example, could we use our own inputText field and commandButton to upload a file? I'm not sure this is possible with the inputText field being a String and the inputFile being an UploadedFile type.... I've seen the same question asked in a thread that asks about creating a style and translating the text for the Browse button, but no one had answered it at the time of this post.

    .. playing around with this options it appears that browsers tend to ignore the accept attribute...
    "The HTML 4.01 specification defines an accept attribute for use with input type="file" as follows:
    which explaind by that the accept attribute only is a recommendation that browser vendors may or may not implement:
    "This attribute specifies a comma-separated list of content types that a server processing this form will handle correctly. User agents may use this information to filter out non-conforming files when prompting a user to select files to be sent to the server.
    Thus you could specify, for example, accept="image/gif,image/jpeg", if you are willing to get image files in GIF or JPEG format only. Browsers might use this information to set up the Browse menu so that only such files are selectable, at least initially"

  • JMF does not play sound for .avi file and no video for .mov file

    Hi,
    I am trying to use JMStudio to transmit media files from one computer to another.
    However, when I try to transmit .mov file it only plays audio no video is displayed on other computer.
    And when I transmit .avi file I can see the Video on other machine but it does not
    play any sound.
    I tried using capture devices like - webcam and mic and they work perfectly fine.
    Can anyone please tell me the solution for this.
    Thank you in advance.

    I discovered the same problem too..
    I think it is a general Format problem.
    When i analyzed the tracks in my .avi and .mov files before rtp streaming with jmf, I found each media containing just 1 track..
    This track was a video track, no audio at all.
    Other formats I tried, like .mpg, revealed both audio and video tracks, and performed perfectly.
    I'm still on more research.. will get the solution to you if u don't find one before I'm done..

  • 'Other' file type support? AI, INDD, FLA, SWF, FW, HTML, PHP

    this may seem like an odd question, but I'm just wanting to gauge 'how far' you can push FCS as a general purpose asset manager.
    If anyone has or could try these file types with it and let us know the outcome, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks

    Final Cut Server is able to create an Asset out of any file. You can apply metadata, search for it, version it, check it in and out etc, drag the asset to local applications, etc.
    Depending on the format and the quicktime components you have installed, it may or may not generate thumbnails and proxies, and you may or may not have the ability to transcode to a different format.
    For example, you can happily store a HTML or PHP file as an asset, check it in and out, but you won't be able to convert to something else and the thumbnail will be the default white asset thumbnail.

  • Problem with .avi files playing as video
