ok here’s the rundown. i recorded a vhs tape onto dvd via a go-video vhs to dvd recorder. by default it puts video in .vro format. i then put the dvd in my comp and converted it from .vro to .avi. after i convert it when i try to play the video it just plays the audio and the video is just a black screen. i don’t know if this makes a difference but i’m editing using adobe premire. i also tried a different route, i just hooked up a s-video cord to the vhs to dvd recorder to my comp. that didn’t work either, because when i try to capture it in adobe premiere i only gives me one option to capture with and its firewire not s-video and i don’t know how to change it. ---

If i don’t convert it at all and try to import it (don’t need to capture it), it says can not import file b/c adobe doesn’t recognize this file type or something like that. thats why i don’t understand when i convert it to .avi it doesn’t work b/c alot if not alot of my footage is in .avi. and by no means am i an expert i’m definitely still a beginner, it just seems like it would be a simple fix since i use .avi all the time. ---

1. is the file in question an avi? 2. the question is that he needs to find out what codec used during the creation of the avi? please answer
