APP 7.0 importing problems

NicholasGolden: I honestly don't know what to say - that is rather odd. Basic diagnostic would be to go over anything you recently installed that could be causing conflicts (2 codecs trying to decode the same file, various apps, hell, even quicktime screws things up for me sometimes).

Kaimi-chan: You're screwed either way, but just for reference: If you're episodes aren't encoded losslessly you're going to have problems (Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a> or click any of the bright flashing banners that are EVERYWHERE to see why), if they are, you probably don't have enough RAM to properly handle sticking 5-10GB(per episode) worth of footage on your time line at once. I'm going to bet it's the former, and not the later...

Hm... I get what was wrong... the damn file was a Xvid... =_="

Now, I just installed the lagarith...
But still... can't convert it.
I think I'm supposed to unistall divX.
But still... I don't know how to convert it. x_x

Ok, scratch that. I just unistlled DivX and I'm downloading VirtualModDub, AMVapp...

I think I should be fine... or I should go to 'Compression, Encoding, and Converting' forum...

I'm still having this problem. Thought I'd update and see if anyone else had ideas.

I uninstalled all the codecs I had installed (at least I think I got them all). I uninstalled APP. I reinstalled select codecs, huffyuv, all the xvid/avi stuff, and some other audio stuff I didn't quite follow. Then I reinstalled Adobe and tried once again to import an AVI clip. Nothing. Just sits there and says "importing".

MPEG clips still import fine.

Do you have ffdshow? If so, make sure its support for HuffYUV and Lagarith (and, really, any other codecs that you already have separately) is disabled.

No, I purposely didn't reinstall that with all the other codecs because it seemed to be making things run funny (crashing my windows media player and such).

I'm wondering if I have an AVI codec still installed on here that's causing problems for some reason. Because at one point in time I WAS able to import AVI clips. Is there any way for me to see a list of installed video or audio codecs on my computer other than the add/remove programs list?

What format are the clips encoded in? You need to have the codecs on your computer and the files need to be in the correct one for anything to work...

The clips were in AVI to start with. I brought them into VirtualDubMod, and converted them to HuffyUV. That's where I'm stuck.
