I’m in the same situation. I’ve exported .avi files from a Windows-based TriCaster Studio machine. The codecs seem to be dvsd and araw. QuickTime and Final Cut Express on my iMac will not open the .avi files but they will open in Mpeg Streamclip and VLC. And more importantly they WILL open in iMovie 9! There must be come codec installed with iMovie that’s not part of QuickTime or Final Cut. Anyone have any ideas how to fix? Otherwise I’m having to export them out of Mpeg Streamclip as .mov.
Thanks for any help!
