well...the ogm problem is gone...the file is now avi but when i open it at AE the programme says: retrieving frame from video stream...what does that mean?

Ecsactly what it says - retrieving frame from video stream. It might take a little more time to retrive frame from lossy codecs as they are not "full" frames (forgot the term) like in loossless codecs. I belive converting to huffy wil do the trick.

ok, huffy may work but i havent got so much space on my disk to store the new files...there is not other way?

you may want to try lagarith...still large files, but saves you about 500MB for every 2 minutes of footage.

if you're really strapped for space, you could just encode the clips that you need.

if you don't even have that much space, I've heard of some people using picvideo MJPEG (or you could convert to an mpeg format...most editing programs can take mpegs)

if the file i have was just an episode the space would be no problem, but it is a movie which duration is 2 hours (mononoke hime )...i've heard about pic video too, i'll try it...let's see if it'll work..thnx
