zvi image files have complex structures to describe image data and corresponding meta-data and
ZVI_Reader provided by Curtis Rueden uses very simple decoding strategy using magic byte
sequences to get header informations. It appears that for some Zeiss AxioVision zvi files this
decoding strategy fails. I have modified ZVI_Reader code to handle our zvi files (AxioVision 4.5).
We are not using times-series yet but if you send me one of your zvi files, I can test and adapt my
code if possible. I will submit my fix to Wayne Rasband for posting on the ImageJ plugins site.
