Does anyone know why the Libs. "IMAQ AVI Create ,IMAQ AVI Open ,IMAQ AVI Read Frame ,IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names" are not located in the "AVI" menu ? (IMAQ 2.6)

Thanks Mario

The AVI VIs should be located there, if they are not there was probably a problem with your installation. Launch the installer again by going to Add/Remove Programs and selecting National Instruments Software. From there another menu will open showing most of your NI software. Select on NI-IMAQ 2.6 and select modify. Double check that support for your version of LabVIEW is selected, and proceed with the rest of the install. If you are still having problems, I suggest calling going to www.ni.com/support and getting a hold of NI Tech support.

Hallo Dustin

Thanks for your prompt answer. Dustin do you have more then three "ICONS" located in your AVI Folder ??? I only have "IMAY AVI Create, IMAQ AVI Write Frame, IMAQ AVI Close". But there should be more functions in this menu, as you can read in the help file.<- "get filter names" for example ?

Those are the three that come with NI-IMAQ. NI-IMAQ 2.6 supports writing uncompressed AVIs only. For the other AVI VIs you will need to purchas the Vision package, this allows you to write and read compressed AVIs as well. The "get filter names" fetches the available compression filters - or codecs - available on your computer. This is only useful if you can compress AVIs. The other functions you get with Vision are AVI Open, AVI Get Frame, and AVI get Info.
