Invalid AVI

[Fred Matthews]

Within the error message it says “DVD-error 26400” if that helps any.

It appears to be the single frame images that I brought in to be identifiers for my clips. I selected single clips in my Avid and exported them through Sorenson just like my actual videos. Is there a better way to do this, to get a single frame for a little window to place next to my selections as an identifier? Can I do that within Encore?

Thanks

Now I get a “Unidentified error” message. I got rid of the identifiers and all of the clips and timelines that went with them in hopes that that would help. Not so far.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Fred,

I to am getting the invalid AVI error 26400. The AVI in question is not a single frame but much shorter than any of my other clips. It is the video for my main menu loop. It clocks in at 14 second and 16 frames. As far as I can tell, the files were encoded the same way. Both came out of Premiere’s Render Movie using the same settings.

Any ideas?

The web is just so great. No more than 15 minutes after I posted this question than I found the answer. My AVI was a static frame with 14 seconds of music. As an option, Premiere will optimize this by adding the music, but only one frame of video and some kind of code to tell the player the image does not change. Encore seems to gack at this. So under the render settings turn off Optimize Stills.
