Handbrake won't recognize an AVI file...

[jewelsdances]

I just bought a Vado hd camcorder, and it works great! However, I uploaded the video to my macbook, and there is no picture, just sound. When it plays on VLC, it shows the pic... so I tried to use Handbrake to resize it, but it doesn't recognize the .avi file it is under. Anybody have any tips for me, please?

Can you download a file conversion programme, there are plenty out there, to convert the file to a more recognisable format? Can you programme your camcorder to record in a more recognisable format for the future?

Alternatively, you can upload your file to http://www.zamzar.com/ and they'll convert the file online, and email you a link to the converted file.
