I used the "Yamb" thingy but the AVI still isn't readable. That means it's a codec problem, right?

Actually i don't know if the codec is h.263 or h.264... BECAUSE NONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT COULD TELL ME WHICH ONE OPEN THE DAMN FILE!!!

either way the extracted avi was viewable without any quality loss.

Care to explain?

I meant that the AVI was viewable in my player (VLC) but it still didn't open in any of the editors.

So in other words it's exactly the same as the original mp4 but with an avi extension.

so it's probably a messed up codec. Which ones are you using?

None because I use VLC

VLC uses it's own internal decoders so although you can play the video file back, doing anything else is pretty much not possible since any other program won't know what to do with the file.

At this point, I'm going to recommend installing CCCP or plain ffdshow.

Then you can open the file in VirtualDubMod and create clips using Lagarith or Huffyuv for editing with.

Weren't people having problems opening Premiere after they installed CCCP? "Adobe Premiere could not find any valid editing modes. Please reinstall Adobe Premiere and start again."

i think i have ffdshow. does it come with amvapp, because i have that installed (sorry for giving wrong information). But it still doesn't work.And does this CCCP really have problems because I don't want to have to reinstall Premiere and lose the editing I've done so far.
