Asked By Charles V Collins 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/26/2014

Hi experts,

I have downloaded some videos from internet and when I tried to open them this error window appeared and it seems like VLC does not support the video format. I have open other video from my MAC and worked ok. Please someone help me to open this video and tell me why my MAC not support this kind of video format ?

No suitable decoder module

VLC does not support the audio or video format “ADV1”. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Decoder module errors and Warnings in VLC

Hello,

VLC Media Player is one of the best media players all over the world. It supports large number of file input formats and able to play them perfectly. This is limited as it doesn’t have all the codecs required to play all the file formats found online.

The error is thrown up because VLC haven’t found any suitable codec to run the file. Codecs are for decoding the file and making it possible for the player to play. Here is the list that are supported by VLC.

Loronix WaveCodec (ADV1) is the codec used to create the file. You can either find a suitable player for the file format or convert it to any popular format.
