Post by Tombell »

I’m having problem in adding video files to a DVD Video Disc project. Some MP4 files are either “File format mismatch” or made the DVD MovieFactory crashed. Below are the sample MP4 files I found which able to reproduce my problem. Does anyone has idea what wrong on these files?

http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/h2 ... inkage.mp4, 720p, h.264, AAC. DVD MovieFactory crashed while adding this file to project.
http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/h2 ... planet.mp4, 720p, h.264, AC3 - “File format mismatch”.

Environment
Win7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forums

I do not have DVD Movie Factory but use Video Studio.
Not sure what’s wrong with those samples, I am able to insert both to Video Studio, the “planet” one does not have any audio at least not that VS is aware of, but plays ok using VCL Player.
I was able to convert using AVS video converter to another MP4, that plays ok in VS with audio, then I tried Mov which also played ok, file sizes are much larger so I can only assume the originals are highly compressed?

Although Shrinkage video plays ok including audio, video studio does not seem to read the properties correctly, I would assume that goes for DVD MF as the software is very similar.

One video uses 29.96 fps whereas the other 23.9 fps. So mixing those may cause quality issues.

I can only advise that you try converting the clips to a more editable format that Corel software will recognise.

I’m sure other forum users will try your clips and give their feedback

By the way to burn a DVD the files have to be Mpeg2, as its that format that is used on a disc.
