Opening AVI-files shows black screen

Hello everone,

I use Tracker for processing AVI-files that can be quite large (up to 3 gb) and I used to be able to do that just fine (not sure which version it was, but around June/July 2021).

However, when I open an AVI-file in the latest version 6.0.3, the video screen just shows a black image and I can't do any tracking.

The older version 5.1.5 that is available on the website has a different problem: It can open AVI-files fine, but when trying to open a large video it shows an error message saying "Video could not be opened."

Is support for AVI-files gone or is it something I can fix? Or is there a way to download older versions of Tracker, so I can try those out?

Thanks and kind regards
J. W.
