I cannot inmport DV-AVI files made with MM into Pinnacle
Studio 9. "Video file cannot be imported". I assume it is
a codec problem, and I checked papajohn's codecs page, but
I did not find a solution. What can I do?

(BTW, it works the other way round. AVIs made with Studio
can be imported into MM.)
 
You need to convert the AVI from type 1 ( MMaker creates type 1 ) to type 2
( Studio uses and creates type 2 ).
If you do a search for AVI converter, you should be able to find one
easilly.
 
It's a DV-AVI file type issue.... MM2 can use types I or II but Pinnacle needs type I

I'd give you a better page on my site, but I'm not at my computer right now....

Thank you Peter and Papajohn! Now I understand. Since MM2
uses both filetypes, can I force MM2 to save DV-AVI files
in type 2?
 
No, MM2 is limited to saving it as type I. You need to use other software to
do the conversion.

I'll usually use MM1 to do it, as it saves in the type II format, and can
use the type I files as source files.
