Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve MP4 Clip won’t open

  • MP4 Clip won’t open

    Posted by Thomas Howard on August 19, 2024 at 1:06 am

    MPEG-4 movie – 14.5 GB file will not open with QuickTime or DaVinci Resolve. Dozens of Clips before and after, shot same day, same controlled circumstance all playback fine. The following clip C0040.mp4 in the same room, same subject, camera not moved, plays fine.

    The document “C0039.MP4” could not be opened.

    The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player or DaVinci Resolve 18

    Can anyone suggest recovery software or ideas on how to open usable footage.

    Has anyone used EaseUS Fixo Video Repair, Wondershare Repairit, Clever Online Video Repair, Fix.Video and Restore.Media, or Videolan?

    It sounds like the file may be corrupt – can VLC play the video? Do you have Adobe Media Encoder or know how to use FFMPEG or Handbrake to convert videos?
