When I try to open an .avi file made using my digital camera in Sound Forge, I get this message: "The video you are opening cannot be displayed beacuse there is not a compatible vido decompressor available on your computer". Where can I get the proper software to open these files?

Most digital cams use Motion Jpeg even though the extension is .avi.

Do a search for Motion Jpeg, some say there are free codecs from Matrox and others. I myself use Virtual Dub to convert to .avi.

The abbreviation for Motion Jpeg is MJPEG.
Doing a search on that will yield better results.
