  • Viewable AVI file won’t open in AE7 –??

    Posted by Eric Chard on July 19, 2012 at 8:54 pm

    I have an AVI file on my machine that Windows Media Player, will playback, but I cannot open it in After Effects.

    The error I get is “no such AVI compressor”.

    Since I can view it in Media Player, WUWT?

    More important, how do I get the file into a usable state? VirtualDub also refuses it. 🙁

    Thanks.

    VLC, maybe?

    Can you get the FOURCC code for this file from VirtualDub or VLC?
