You said you had backed up the file on another computer. Does it play on that computer using any of the methods we've described?

Just to double check: when you have the video open in VirtualDub/Mod, click on the File menu and select "File Information".

Let us know what it says.

There u go.

The file information looks ok.

Any chance you can upload a small piece of the video? About 15 frames will be fine.

You can use Upload.Sc or YouSendIt.
Post the link here when it's done and we can play with the video to see if we can get something to read it.

RGB24? Is there a chance that for some weird reason all the software is assuming "0" alpha values for the whole thing?

I examined the video and it does not look like uncompressed RGB24.
It appears to be some type of Sony DV.
VirtualDubMod doesn't know what to do with it.
Plain VirtualDub tries to decode it with its DV decoder, but that doesn't work either.

12 frames of 720x480 uncompressed RGB24 video, without audio, should be at least 12MB, and the video you provided is only about 2MB.

You said you used Premiere to export it, but now Premiere can't read the video. I don't have Premiere, but I'll try some other programs tonight to see if any can read the video.

Here is what VirtualDubMod gave me:

Ah, I feel stupid. Hold on, I'm re uploading this new segment, I did that last night when I was very tired and unknowingly compressed it into some weird format coming out of premier. I'm uploading a section that is the same as the original now.
