MP4 files - audio plays fine but only first frame of video
Posted: 13 Oct 2018 19:09
Hi all,
I'm feeling frustrated... I have had problems with playing good mp4 files with Windows 10 - they are very juddery, from known good mp4 source files.
I thought I had the solution with downloading VLC as it comes widely recommended, but even with VLC I find that I only get good audio, and only the first frame only of the video. Nice pics, but they don't actually show any movement!!! I have looked at the FAQs and tried to find info on the forum, but now I can't see the wood for the trees. How come playing an mp4 file is so damn difficult, and I thought VLC was supposed to have all the right codecs installed, that I understand are required?
I've tried other formats, eg .mov files, and they play perfectly well.
There surely must be a straightforward answer to this within VLC, as I can't be the only numpty one with this problem, so thanks in advance for any help!
