We need more information:
Note Music Maker only supports importing AVI, Windows Media (*.wmv, *.asf), MAGIX Video (*.mxv) and Quicktime Movies (*.mov).

I'm having the same issue here...
I'm using Magix Music Maker 27.0.3.32, while trying to import a .avi file to the program I get an error message saying the file can't be read...
Welcome to the Magix forums.
The .avi file format is actually a container format, within which a wide range of codecs can be used. It would seem, from your error message, that your computer does not have, or Music Maker cannot use, a codec necessary for the reading of your file.
You need to download and install the free MediaInfo utility, point it at your .avi file and then post the results of the Text view here. With that information, we may be able to suggest a solution.
It would also be helpful to know a lot more about your actual computer; this post will give you some idea of what information would be really helpful.

Hello Jeff
I downloaded the utility and run it with one of the videos I'm getting the error message...
My PC is a Core i5 4460, 3.20Ghz, 8 Gb Ram, video card Nvidia GForce 210, HD Toshiba DT01ACA050 500Gb, with a Windowns 10 Home Single edition up to date...
Two things are "unusual" about your video file, either or both of which may be causing MM to not be able to display the video: the frame rate (35fps is one I have never seen before. I think MM will expect 24, 25 or 30); aspect ratio, 1366 x 666 is, again, not standard.
I am also confused by the codec being stated as "Basic Windows Bitmap format". Is your "video" essentially a static image?
One other question/comment. I see the audio on this video is 44.1kHz sample rate. Are you running MM at the same sample rate?

Hi
The MediaInfo data would suggest the export is from Blender - is this correct?
If so, did you export as PNG files and then combine these to make the AVI using Blender or export directly as AVI?
Exporting directly as AVI RAW or AVI JPG at 1280 x 720 both work with Music Maker irrespective of the framerate setting.
As @emmrecs has said the resolution may be causing the issue.
Check your export settings and use a standard resolution eg 11280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080.

Wow! The file data seems to be quite messy... =D
No, It's a 2D animation made in Adobe Flash CS6 and exported as .avi file (no options presented to export as avi raw or avi jpg)...
I will try changing the resolution and framerate... I found that if I export it as 24bit colors instead of 36bit, MM let me import it there... Quite strange... Oo

24 bit colour is the 'the standard' for video which MMM supports, higher bits/colour are not supported.
It is odd that MediaInfo reports the video as being 8 bit depth, which refers to the number of bit per colour ie Red, Green, or Blue - 3 colors x 8 bit depth = 24 bit, when it should say 12 bit.
