In premiere 8 I attempted to save a project for use on a pc as an avi file using the Share facility. This would appear to have been successful but when I tried to import the avi file into a new project I was told that the file was incompatible and that I did not have the appropriate Codec. I would gratly appreciate some guidance.
What were the exact settings that you chose?
AVI is but a wrapper, and many different CODEC's can reside in that wrapper. This ARTICLE will give you some background.
Good luck,
