Last year, I had a friend of mine burn two of my dvd's to avi's so I could chop 'em up a bit for some AMV's. It worked peachy and I got about two thirds the way through the editing before an unrelated problem forced me to format my drives and re-install windows. I saved all my crap, but when I started working on the amv again, it gave me this message upon opening the project:
After Effects error: no such AVI compressor.
Then it showed the file as a blank white screen. I recently had to reformat again (and again I saved everything) and now it doesn't even acknowledge that the files are there anymore.
Both avi's open fine in both WMP and Winamp, so it's not like I don't have the proper codecs. Frankly, I don't have any clue what's going on.
Any ideas?
