Hi there,
When I try to open a video file in SF I get a message syaing that there is no compatible video decompressor on my system
I only really use this machine for editing video and have most codecs on board.
Any ideas.
thanks,

Joe

SF-4.5 will only open .AVI format video files.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply.
The file I was trying to open was an avi. type, edited in Vegas Video 3.o and of DV origin.
I thought that I should just be able to open it easily in Soundforge.
I am doing something wrong?
Joe

I'm not sure. Are you running the full version of 4.5?
I open .avi files as follows. With SF open; Create new file: File>New, or (Ctrl+N) Open Properties window: File>Properties or (Alt+Enter) Select Video tab, click Attach. A browse window should open.
48k-16 bit is "usually" the audio standard for NTSC digital video formats. Digi-Beta, DV, DV-Cam DVC-PRO, ect.
