Can't see Video! Help appreciated.

[Zanon]

I uploaded two pieces of footage (.avi files) that required some VFW Codec to be uploaded into Premiere. So I downloaded the Codec, blah, blah, uploaded the two files into Premiere.

Though, for some reason, when I stick the files onto the timeline and play them on the Monitor Window, the screen is black and shows no footage.

Here's what I mean:

If anyone could provide a solution to this, I'd be really grateful.

So now I am trying to throw in my footage in VDubMod and compress to a lossless codec like huffy but I get this when I open the footage in VDub...

The source image format is not acceptable.

Hi:

Could be the codec (by the way, what?) decompress in YV12 colorspace. Vdub can´t handle this colorspace alone. If your codec haven't YUY2 or RGB decompress output (e.g. picvideo v 3.0) you must install a YV12 decoder, e.g. FFDSHOW. Quicktime Alternative installs one also. And (i don't remember well) Helix codec can help.

Another trick is create a script of Avisynth with avisource doing colourspace conversion or with the specific filter converttoyuy2.


Good luck.
