AE 6.5 won’t import my AVI M-JPEG files – What gives?
I am working on a Mac G5 with AE 6.5 and AE will not allow me to import AVI M-JPEG files that were captured on Windows PC through Matrox. I would like to be able to work in the native format with out having to convert the files. Anyone know how I can do that?

It sounds as if you need the Matrox M-JPEG software codec for Mac (if it exists). You’ll have to check Matrox support for that — sorry. Otherwise, you’l have to convert the M-JPEG files to the Animation codec on the PC that has the Matrox installed.
M-JPEG is often tied to specific hardware.
Good luck,

I don’t think that codec will work on the MAC. I would make a .tif or .tga or .jpg file sequence from the original Matrox file. Of course you will have to do this on a PC and then import into the MAC from there.
Good Luck -
i was afraid of that… bummer. well thanks for the help!

Why not use QTs native Motion JPEG A or B CODECs. Just becareful of the field ordering if you’re using the “B” version. The choice it provides for field ordering is ambiguous. I can’t recall the specifics but if you have a Q, I’ll go check it out or perhaps someone can recall this issue by then.

I think he is getting files from someone who is editing on the DigiSuite. There are no options to export QT from the DigiSuite (that work). What they could try is to convert the DigiSuite file in windows using QT pro and rendering a flavor of QT that the MAC would like.

Ah – sorry, you’re right. I seem to recall that DigiSuite can export TGAs?

thats exactly it. and i think thats what we’ll end up doing, because i can’t find the digisuite codec for mac anywhere.

The MAC does not support the DigiSuite codec as MATROX is Windows centric.
Try converting the DigiSuite file with QT Pro on a PC.
