Yesterday I upgraded to imovie HD 6 on my mac laptop, and for some  
strange reason, I cannot open .avi files that were created by ImageJ  
in quicktime or imovie.

Old avi files created before the upgrade open up, but the movie just  
appears as a white screen in quicktime.
New avi files created after the upgrade won't even open at all using  
quicktime, I just get any error message saying the file can't be opened.

I made sure that I had the latest versions of ImageJ and quicktime  
installed on my laptop and even re-installed them, and I still have  
the same problem.

We have a mac ImageJ workstation in our lab which has not been  
upgraded to imovie HD 6, and all avi files, old or new, open fine in  
quicktime and imovie on this machine.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and does anyone know how to  
fix it?

Thanks ahead of time for any help or advice.
