In this article we outline the best workflow for importing AVI into Pinnacle.
We searched widely and found that some typical issues occurred while loading AVI to Pinnacle Studio:
Q1: I have captured all my VHS and VHS-C cassettes using Virtualdub in AVI format. If I open Pinnacle and locate the AVI files to edit, it shows up with a big question mark in Pinnacle. If I drag the clip to the time line or storyboard and play the file, I can hear the sound, but there is no image.
Q2: I have been using Pinnacle Studio for some time & have gotten use to it. I have another source which captured a video file as AVI, BUt I do not see how to correctly put it to pinnacle so it can recognize it.
Q3: I got some source DV file captured by Movie Maker, but I found these .avi DV files cannot natively be imported into Pinnacle studio to produce DVDs.
Although Pinnacle Studio 12.0 and higher can import AVI format as it official claimed, Pinnacle Studio will not load the .avi files captured by Windows Movie Maker, VHS, CamStudio or other source, even though it will tempt you into doing so.
The basic reason is that AVI is a container format with different video audio codecs and possibly the AVI File format is not what Pinnacle wants to see. Possibly there could be a flavor of AVI it is expecting. Here you can view the Video codecs in use. Once isolate the import source, you can look at options to import it directly, or try to find software to convert the AVI files to MPEG (mpg).
