SPENT EIGHT HOURS MAKING VIDEO AND WONT OPEN!!!

Postby iloveamma » 17 Mar 2017 20:39

Please help!
I made a video in Video Editor and Slidemaker in the Windows 10 store...
I downloaded dozens of clips from PIXABAY which played find in the app.
I saved the file and the computer freaked out.
When I try to open VLC the file will not play says it VLC cant recognize the input format..IT IS IN MP4
it makes this error dozens of times and looks like it is frozen in some error mode.
And it looks stuck like it has a virus!
I SPENT SO LONG MAKING THIS VIDEO
I cannot
pLEASE HELP!CAN I SEND YOU THE FILE!!!
I cannot open even in Windows MEDIAPLAYER! It makes no sense!

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts (use the default ones) and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

50 MB max should be enough.

About a month ago I used a program called livestreamer to record a streaming video for a friend and the resulting file would not open in VLC, KMPlayer, or Windows MediaPlayer, but it did open in "Media Player Classic - Home Cinema", so you might try other players. My friend used Format Factory to convert it to another format which played in VLC.
