Cannot find vids:mjpg decompressor

Haiving imported a video from an Olympus 770 SW camera I have a .avi file
When I try to import this into After Effects CS4 I get an error message saying it cannot find the vids:mjpg decompressor
The odd thing is my son did the same thing with the same camera a few days ago and it worked
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

Many thanks for your response
However there is no camera software that I am aware of.  You simply connect the USB cable to the camera and copy the images to the PC.  I can then double click on them in WIndows Explorer and they play fine but not in AE
However since posting this my son has found that if he does create movie in AE (something to do with creating a proxy?) it then plays OK
DOes this help explain what is going on?

  • "video not available, cannot find 'vids:cvid' decompressor" message in WinSvr 2008

    Greetings, all!
    I've published my projects in AVI using the Cinipak Codec video output but in Windows Server 2008 (64 bit), I get a "video not available, cannot find 'vids:cvid' decompressor" error. Any thoughts?
    Thanks a million!

    Where the projector is concerned, AVIs are not actually using
    WMP to run the file ... it actually uses the older Mplayer32
    application which is also found on all Windows systems.
    MPlayer32 does not natively support MPG4 and so if you just
    installed the codec it was likely introduced for a temporary
    period, but upon restart the system only loads the basic codecs for
    Mplayer32.
    This is why a typical video project usually uses QT media or
    Flash media for videos, since many of the older codecs supported by
    MPlayer are not very "size friendly". In some cases they are also
    "quality" challenged.
    QT media requires the user to have QT installed, but you can
    always include the installer on the CD for free, and many people
    have it already.
    Another third party alternative is Real media, and there is
    an xtra in Director that will handle the files ... but again this
    requires Real player to be installed on the user's machine. You
    can, once again, include the installer on the CD ... but fewer
    people have it installed compared to QT.
    The MPeg Advanced Xtra may be a way to go, since it will
    actually interact with the WMP engine, rather than the older
    MPlayer32 engine.
    On the XP+ machines, I believe the older MPlayer32 app is
    actually cross-wired into the new WMP so it will allow b/c for some
    apps that use it still, which is why it works on the XP machine,
    but that will not happen on the earlier Win OS's

  • Video not available cannot find 'vids:xvids' decompressor

    I am getting this message when I am trying to play a an .avi file in framemaker 7.1. (I can play a .php and .flv files without any problems.) I have been able to play this type of file before until just recently. The only thing I know is any different from the time I was ble to play it and now is that I have deleted some fonts on my system (NOT the standard windows fonts). That should not have caused this. I have downloaded the vids:xvid codec - still the same problem. What else can I do, besides converting all my .avi files? By the way I can play the .avi files outside of FrameMaker.

    Many thanks for your response

  • When I open up my emails and close them, they disappear and I cannot find them.  Where are they going?  Is there a setting that I have to change?

    Once I open up my emails they disappear and I cannot find them anymore.  Is there a setting that I need to change to stop this from happening?

    Are you tapping any of the icons at the of the Mail app after opening them, or do they disappear without you doing anything ? And if you have more than one account on the iPad, does it happen on your other accounts as well ?

  • VM created on Win 8.1 Pro Laptop cannot find win 7 iso file on USB

    VM cannot find USB to load Win 7       
    I have a Windows laptop with Win 8.1 Pro installed. I turned on Hyper-V and created a VM. Everything worked up to that point. I also downloaded the Win 7 iso and placed it on a USB thumb drive.  I also downloaded the Win 7 installer.
    When I "start" the VM, I get a black screen with a message the VM could not load an OS.
    It appears to me that the VM does not know where to look for the OS. I cannot find any way to tell it where to look.
    I spent over $300 for upgrades to Win 8.1 Pro and a licensed copy of Win 7 so I could run Win 7 on my laptop as I need it to run UPK (which is not compatible with Win 8).
    As a last resort I went to the Micrsoft store in Miami and offered to buy a Surface Pro 3 if they would install the VM and Win 7 on that for me. They said it was very easy to do and I would have no problems, etc., etc., etc. In other words they did not have
    a clue about what I was talking about.
    I hate to see over $3000 worth of hardware collecting dust on my closet shelf because I cannot use them. I am hopeful someone here can help a non-techie make this thing work.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dennis
    PS - Went to the Apple store last night and was shown a MacBook Air with Parallels installed. It was running Apple stuff on the Apple OS and MS Office 365 on Win 7. It was all very seamless so am leaning very much to going with Apple as a solution.

    You don't say that you attached the iso to the VM.  The easiest way to do
    that is to connect to the VM and then on the console, pull down the
    "Media" menu, Select "Insert Disk", then browse to the ISO and select it.
    Then under the "Action" menu, select "Reset".
    You can also mount an iso in the settings for the VM.

    Hi Bruce and fruhulda,
    ok, I found the keyboard viewer, it only shows the traditional symbol 'return'.  something like a sideway u-turn continued with the arrow under.  This is the Canadian or US keyboard. 
    btw thanks for your suggestion.

    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • I have downloaded the latest pages  update on my iPad, but my iMac still has version 4.3 and I cannot find out how to update it only desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages to via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open P

    I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.
