Found that the mp4 file is not supported

Asked By James D Guerrero 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/25/2013

Hello,

Recently, I downloaded a video of mp4 format and I also downloaded AVI-Mux_GUI-1.17.8 to fix the out of sync audio problem but I found that the mp4 file is not supported in it then I tried to convert the video to .AVI so I loaded avidemux_2.5.2_full_win32 and tried to load the file but I got the following warning with the weird message. Have any idea to fix this problem? Suggest me properly. Thanks.

If the file is using B-frames as reference it can lead to a crash of shuttering. Avidemux can use another mode which is safe but you will lose frame accuracy.

Found that the mp4 file is not supported

DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) maybe prohibiting your access to the media – meaning your downloaded mp4 video is copyrighted and encrypted. Its just like when you buy a digital copy with Blu- Ray. You can only copy the file twice – one to your PC, the other to a portable player.

There’s no other way to solve your issue if the case is related with DRM. It’s illegal. I suggest you screen capture the video with Camtasia,etc. and save it in AVI format then use it. The quality is degraded but it’s the only way I can think as of now.
