“mpeg decode error” is the error message and sometimes it the error message mentions premiere inserts a red frame.
as an update to my issue. i was able to find a solution to one of my current problems that is related.
I was running a cs4 – v.4.1 update and my editor was running a cs4 – v.4.2 update . i updated my software and the red x and mpeg decode error disappeared.
but im still searching for a software that can verify the integrity of a video file to let me know that in fact there isnt any errors within the file.
