Posts: 30 		I have saved many animated texture files, sea, eyes, clouds etc. as Avis, which I have used many times in my Muvizu animations as Backgrounds.
Now, ALL of them show us as "Unknown Format".
Please help !

confirmed here. This should probably be reported to support, which I will do right now....

After submitting this to Muvizu support, Jamie replied asking for a sample. When I tried to prepare the sample, the AVI worked! So I tried a few more AVIs and they worked too! Then I went back and tried the AVI I used for my original test.. and it still didn't work. Apparently its just a bad file. (what's the statistical likelihood of picking the one bad AVI on my entire computer for an AVI test??? Apparently, in my world, it's 100%.... )

So Eugene, my recommendation is that you zip up a set in which your AVI does not work and email it to Muvizu Support. You may want to include the AVI separately so they can see if the file itself has issues.

Before you do that, you may want to try one last time to see if they will load as textures on one of the backdrops.

ALL the avi files have worked in the past.

AVIs should open outside of Muvizu when you double click on them... have you tried to see if they'll open that way? If they don't the problem is either with the AVIs or the internal windows stuff that makes AVIS run.

About a year ago I had problems with a different program... all of my data files were returning "unrecognized format" errors, but none of the other users were having the problem. Turned out that I had acquired the cryptowall virus, which was maliciously encrypting my data... literally rearranging the file format!

I mention this because the fact that I and others can use AVI files as textures in Muvizu suggests that it isn't a Muvizu problem, and the possibility exists that the problem may be coming from somewhere else.

could just be a codec problem your end? i know most people here use the k-lite codec pack but me personally have never been able to get the avi's from that to work in muvizu so i use the xvid video codec http://xvid-codec.en.softonic.com/

but avi sucks anyway. its a shame we cant use mp4.
