I agree Joseph. Try looking at the parameters of the.avi files. Depending on the codec used to export it and any custom settings it may vary from one that works.
I have asked big money editors and college professors about this subject and they either wish to hide knowledge to keep and edge or don’t know any more than I do about it. Which is hard to believe.
There is a DV book on the subject of codecs but I don’t have it yet.
As for Vista I have had my fill of people telling me to install XP. We all do not have the monitary resources of our well paid bretheren. And sooner or later someone has to deal with Vista as an OS platform.
