Default Editing Video From Canon Ixus v3

Hi all,

I'm new to digital video editing, and have installed a copy of Adobe Premier
6.0. I was hoping to load up some avi files from my hard drive in order to
crop some frames and set them up for online streaming. The problem is that
the avi files were recorded on a Canon Digital Ixus v3, which has compressed
the video, and Adobe won't open them, it says it is an incompatible
compression.

Is there a way of converting compressed avi files into native size so I can
open them?

Thanks

Mark

Alternatively, is there a way of capturing video from a playing window, ie
Windows media player?
Thanks

Mark

I have just used GSpot on it, and it reports that video encoding is by
"Motion JPEG including Huffman Tables". How can i decode these?

Aha - that's the key!

Have a look at http://www.morgan-multimedia.com/technicalsV3.htm

Yeah, also consider the PICvideo MJPEG codec (not free, but good).
