Where are the files from? What is the codec?
I had no ability to use my lossless AVI until contacting Cyberlink and they requested I delete 2 registry keys. Now it works.

Contact support.

They are plain avi files.there are from a nikon coolpix a 100,error says An error occured while opening the media file maybe file is broken (which they are not ),an unsupported format,protected video content,or for onother reason Try contacting your video provider for a different video format.
WHAT?

It could be that the AVIs your camera shoots use a codec like MJPEG or Divx, which may not be editable.

Coolpix cameras were introduced nearly 10+ years ago, and it could be that they used a primitive AVI codec.

Open one of your AVIs in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo, set View to Text and then copy the report it generates and paste it to this forum. Once we see what that AVI is made of, we'll better be able to help you.

Thanks well it says that
Format : JPEG
Codec ID : MJPG

There's no need to convert the MJPG clip so that PD18 can play it, but you might need to apply the hotfix and make a couple registry changes.



There are two steps you might need to do to get this to work on your system. Please do them one at a time, and stop if the first step solves the problem:

1. Download the MediaObj.dll "hotfix" and follow the instructions in this post, and see if PD18 can open clip


2. If it works but PD sometimes crashes or seems to not work properly with the clip, try deleting the two registry keys shown in this post

So after many hours of Frustration and reading and starting coverting my files to MPEG and AVCHD so PD 18 will import them lol i read that if i download codec packs the problem is fixed to others,that had the same problem with previous PD version. i downloaded K-LIte Codec and Lav Decoder IT IMPORTS THEM NOW i mean really

OMG thank you so much!!!
I'm wondering why I asked the tech support first - 4 weeks of no solutions! but your codec worked finally!
