studio 9 won't play video captured in studio 8

This is strange. I recently upgraded to Studio 9. When I open an avi
clip previously captured in Studio 8, it shows up in the top edit
window but refuses to play it. When I drag a clip to the storyboard,
sometimes it lets me (but still won't play it) and sometimes it gives
me the error "nonstandard frame rate". Are all of my previously
captured clips useless now? Do I need to dump this and go back to
studio 8?

I have clips captured via a digital 8 camcorder, and older clips
captured via DC10+. Studio 9 won't play either of them. Windows
Media Player plays them fine.

Upgrading to Studio 9.4.2 did not fix the problem. Windows Media
Player will play the clips, but Studio 9 will not. I've tried with
hardware acceleration enabled and disabled. Anything else I should
try?

Windows XP Pro on Athlon 2000+, 512 megs memory. At one time I had a
working Studio 8 installation.

Ron,

Sorry you're frustrated, and I don't have an answer for you, but I noticed
some strange things happen regarding codecs. For example, I have Commotion
Pro 3.1.1 and saved to a Microsoft AVI (uncompressed). Studio 9 couldn't
open it. Media Player could open it but couldn't really play it. I went back
to Commotion and rerendered to MS AVI using an MJPEG codec and that fixed
the problem for me in both Studio 9 and Media Player. Virtual Dub had no
issues with the clip either way.

My system is an Athlon XP2500+ running Windows 2000 Pro with 1.5GB DDR.

Maybe somewhere in there is a clue to your situation - I hope so. BTW, have
you tried Pinnacle's forums
