I need some help I have some motion backgrounds that were output using Canopus but HD link does not reconize the file. How can I get them converted to a normal HD avi to beable to use in CF

Try VirtualDub. Maybe Canopus files will load there.

You can download a canopus hq playback codec (a 'dec' I guess...) from Grass Valley Home | Grass Valley You'll need to register. The file in question is in the 'Utilities' area. Look for Canopus Playback Codecs Pack v 3.03

Thanks I did dowland the codec but it allows me to see and work with the file in CS3 and CS4 and output but I was trying to avoid the extra steps.. So if I have the codec loaded for canapus CF will not reconize it as a valid format?

Nothing is easy is it.

VirtualDub does reconize it. Is there a quick how to convert an avi?

Select CineForm from the "Video" menu, select Compression, and then select CineForm for the available codecs. Then File->Save as AVI will convert whatever you have loaded to a CineForm file.
