    The extension is .avi. I was able to get the files into Ulead but it won't let me view the video and only the audio of it is playing.

    I opened it in Gspot it has the video codec "dvsd" is listed and it says the codec isn't installed so I'll try to get that. Sorry for being rude earlier, I was just frustrated.

    "DVSD" is standard DV video, but according to FourCC.org "dvsd" is DV generated by a particular firewire card, and needs the card present to be used. This seems odd. Can you confirm that the dvsd is lower case and not upper case ?

    XP ships with the microsoft DV codec as standard, so you should be able to read and write standard DV through any DirectShow aware software. Something screwy is going on with your system.

    DV format usually comes from a camcorder or other DV source and is large (~13GB/hour). Does this seem like what you have?

    Video Studio 10 is happy to accept DV format.

    What else does g-spot say about the video - framerates/resolutions etc.

    Where did the video come from ?

    You can also download this short 10 sec clip to see if it works (36MB):

    Thats a DV-AVI clip, note that the sound track is blank.

    yes I do have FFDShow installed.
    I also tried Windows Movie Maker and it says "The file cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again."
