shortened video is black screen

Postby madbiker » 05 Oct 2017 21:08

I'm using version 2.2.6 umbrella and windows 8.
I have a long mp4 video that I shortened using vlc record button, that is on the Advanced controls ribbon.
When i play back this new shortened video, all I have is a black screen with a traffic cone in the middle.
Could you help me out with suggestions of whats wrong

thank you

trying to record a no compatible codec, no iframe to start recording...

InTheWings, thank you but sorry that's gone right over my head. No idea what a codec is or an iframe let alone how to do it.
Good you give me some guidance, I'm a total novice

thank you in advance

Don't record, use transcoding

Inthewings, from my original post is that what I'm doing and if it is, how do I record without using transcoding... what ever that is.
sorry if I'm sounding thick but I genuinely don't understand

InTheWings, are you able to help me any further?
I've deleted VLC, redownloaded it and still the same, I have no idea what the problem is or how to solve it
