Storm AVI in Edius

[Stereodesign]

I have some AVI files originally created in Canopus Storm DV that I need to open in Edius 4.6.
Edius can see the files (ref AVI) but will not open them, giving an error that the file type is not recognised.

I tried converting them to Canopus HQ in ProCoder but all I got was a grey screen with a green bar at the bottom of the screen.

Anyone know ho to get around this?

Storm 1 or Storm 2?

Are the reference avi's in the exact location as when they were created? Does the ref avi play ok in media player or load into storm edit OK?

I they are moved from the original location you need refavi manager to fix the reference.

On the PC on which they were created the Storm card appears to have died.
I moved the files to the Edius Pc.

refavi manager - I did a Google for this and got only Japanese sites.
Is there another link?

If you provide your email address in a PM, I will send you a copy of the Reference File Manager Utility, unless someone from the company objects.

Yup, you moved them so you got to re-link the audio portion (XXXXX.avi) with the video portions (XXXXX.000, XXXXX.001, XXXXX.002, etc.). You did get all the parts didn't you? The .avi portion of the file will only play the audio for you. Note the size of that portion. It's those other pieces that you need and they need to all be re-linked.

Regarding Brandon's post above:

The installer has Japanese characthers. Don't panic. Just click the highlighted buttons to install it. The user interface will be in English, and it is very easy to use...

Cheers fellas, worked a treat!
Panic over, its hours of video used for a Masters Degree course!
We were beginning to think the backups were corrupt.

Good for you! You are on your way to a Masters Degree now. Congrats.

No, consequences were worse than that.
If the files had been lost everyone taking the masters would not have been on their way to a Masters Degree.
I'm just making the videos.
Anyway, thanx to everyone again
