Garbled Huffyuv AVIs after Windows re-install

I've been working on my own editing project using huffyuv encoded AVIs taken from DVD vobs and everything was going fine until I had to re-install Windows. All the movie files are on a separate hard drive, so I figured they wouldn't be damaged. However, now that I've re-installed windows and checked the project, all the movie files look like this:

I've tried installing mulitiple versions of huffyuv, 2.2.0, 2.1.1, 1.3.1 but none of them fix the problem. I'm really hoping you guys can help me out because if I had to re-do the whole thing I'd be totally bummed .

I've had this happen before, only I can't remember how I resolved it!

Which version of huffyuv did you use to originally encode the file? I think that 2.2.0 is buggy, but it will crash rather than produce garbled output. I use v2.1.1 CCESP Patch v0.25 - I don't exactly know what the patch is for.

It's also possibly a result of encoding with the wrong field threshold. Try changing the value from 240 to 480.

You could also try the ffdshow huffyuv decoder. Go into the VFW codec configuration and set the libavcodec as the decoder for huffyuv.

Ahhhh, it must have been the patch because after installing it everything is peachy again.

Thank you so much, Moth3r! My project is saved!
