AVI DV files can't be loaded into Pinnacle Studio 9

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop,alt.video.dvd.software (More info?)

Lately I have been trying out the demo of Pinnacle Studio 9 as I'm
interested in trying some of the features such as surround sound.
When loading an AVI DV saved by Ulead Media Studio Pro 7, I find that
Pinnacle Studio 9 won't accept the file.
Is this a bug in version 9.04 of Pinnacle Studio 9?
Is this a common problem when transferring files created by different
video editors?
Out of interest if I was to create a video using Pinnacle studio 9 and
set up the surround sound then load it into Ulead Studio Pro 7 would I
lose the surround sound effect?

Regards Brian

No, it's not a bug. Sounds like the file you saved was a DV type I AVI file,
which Studio doesn't support. You'll have to save it to a DV type II AVI
file and you'll be able to import it just fine.

Thanks Buchetamo for your reply.
It's a pity that Media Studio 7 does not allow surround sound editing
like Pinnacle Studio 9 does. It would be fun to experiment with.

It's in the options when you go to save the file in MediaStudio Pro. Hit
options and then I think compression. From the drop down menu, you can
choose your codec to use, and you'll want to use DV type II.

Correction: Hit Options, then the AVI tab, then choose DV type II from the
Compression pull-down menu.
