Error in bringing an avi file(which was originally a .mov file and was converted by an online convertor) into MATLAB workspace.

I tried bringing an avi file into the workspace.*Previously, I have brought others with no problem, but for this one(which was converted to avifile from .mov file by an online converter), I got an error which looks like this:

Error using aviread (line 81)
Unable to locate decompressor to decompress video stream

Error in importdata (line 175)
                out = aviread(FileName);

Error in uiimport/runImportdata (line 428)
                        [datastruct, OTextDelimiter, OHeaderLines] = ...

Error in uiimport/gatherFilePreviewData (line 371)
        [datastruct, textDelimiter, headerLines]= runImportdata(fileAbsolutePath, type);

Error in uiimport (line 191)
[ctorPreviewText, ctorHeaderLines, ctorDelim] = ...

Is there any standard .mov to .avi file converter I could use? What do I do to get out of this problem?

[Walter Roberson]

mov2avi() or avifile() or the newer VideoWriter class can convert mov to avi.

There are a lot of AVI compressors which aviread() cannot support, especially if you are using the 64 bit version of MATLAB.

*I put:*

obj = mmreader('cell.avi');

m=struct('cdata',o)

m =

cdata: [1x1 mmreader]

Now, I want to view the individual frames on imtool....using image function,

image(cell(1).cdata)

BUT I'M GETTING ERROR:

No appropriate method, property, or field cdata for class

mmreader.

*What is wrong? I've been able to load the movie, but now I can't split it into the frames using image function!!*
