avi

when you drag the avi into gspot - what does it say?
Usually when I get only sound / only video - it is a codec issue.
gspot should show you that the avi can be played correctly or if there is a codec problem.

when on the time line...the audio play...the video is black on the monitor...
it doesn't show any error...

it just play black...

There is another discussion of a similar issue for files from a Canon camera, seen here: http://ediusforum.grassvalley.com/fo...ad.php?t=13118

The workflow should be similar. Check it out.

gspot

OK - but what does gspot come up with - if gspot can render the file as readable and correctly identifies the codec as installed then its an Edius issue. If gspot comes up with issues then its probably a codec issue.

If gspot is new to you then just do a google for gspot avi

the above post has just come up ahead of mine - sounds like thats more of the issue - however, it would be interesting to see what gspot makes of it!

best of luck anyway

If GSpot can render it, but EDIUS can't use it, then sometimes it's a filter priority issue, especially when it's something with multiple decoders like MPEG-2 or AC3.

Sorrry, can not agreeing for my Edius 5.12
looks for me more as a individual problem from your HW or SW (Quicktime??)


Test config.

i7-940 3GB
XP-SP3 ...(german)
Edius 5.12 ....as OHCI .....(german ==> with renamed "Localice" folder)
clean NLE station, without internet \ codec-packs \ Nero \ other ugly stuff.....

I also can confirm that I can open and play the nikon D90 files from the website Hans has posted.

I downloaded the avi files and they play on my laptop and desktop systems. What was not very clear is which EDIUS version the OP is using.
I use version 5.12

I would suggest an upgrade to 5.12 first then try again. If they fail to play there is something else wrong with your system.
