About those AVI can’t import problem, how to solve it? Here are two ways for you to take.

1.Use Bandicam MPEG-1 decoder
Because this AVI format is called “Container” formats, you should first figure out what the inner codec in it. That codec was used to encode your video and audio. How to identify the inner codec?

After figured out what the inner codec in this “Container” then download the Bandicam MPEG-1 decoder to fix your shortage or disorder problem about your codec. This way is simple and easy to tackle the problem if your inner codec is MPEG. But sometimes the codec which used to compress your videos is not MPEG, maybe it’s XviD or other codec. What should you do to solve it? If your inner codec is XviD, then you can go for this configure app named ffdshowwhich can help you decode/encode many video and audio formats, including DivX and XviD . After install and run it your problem will be solved.

2. Powerful third-party all-in-one converter app

So you don’t have to look for the corresponding codec your video used. Here strongly recommend this Pavtube Video Converter, which is an all-in-one converter app with powerful inner decoder.
