I have two PCs. One has Pinnacle Studio Card installed and another is laptop - so no Pinnacle of course. For some reason when I trying to open by GK files that are done by AdobePremier or Pinnacle Studio on laptop it says "File in not a valid vd2avi project (v1.76), avi or avs file". I tryed to install Pinnacle drivers on laptop - it didn't help. Premier is installed, GK and Codek Packs are exactly the same. Any Idea what it might be? How can I make my laptop work to encode too?

I thought of this answer when you reported your first problem .. it may not be different. I thought it might be a Type-1 vs. Type-2 AVI issue. And it may be. Here's a quote from the the DV FAQ. DV files are AVI files commonly produced by consumer digital video cameras. And they are processed in the PC like other AVI files. But they have problems too. And I think the solution may be the same.Q1: What's the difference between DV type-1 and DV type-2?

A1: AVI files can contain different video and audio streams. The native interleaved DV data produced by camcorders is stored in a type-1 AVI file with stream type ivas.
If the native data is split into separate audio (auds) and video (vids) streams, then we have a type-2 AVI. In this case the vids stream still contains the audio interleaved, thus the filesize is a little bigger.
Video-for-Windows (VfW) applications like VirtualDub don't work with type-1 files. You can either convert to type-2 or use AviSynth and its DirectShowSource command to open the video. In the latter case process the audio separately.

But I have tried using "DirectShowSource("tdj-tbp-3-eng.avi",audio=false,"YUY2")" in avs file and opening this file - same problem. Another question - why on the other PC I do not have that problem? The same set of video programs installed - The only difference is hardware... :(

And in quote you gave they say "you might convert it to type2", but they do not say how to do it. Do you know?
