MXMPEG2 Error 0110: no media decoder found

teleczkan wrote on 1/11/2021, 5:56 AM

The above message appears when I try to upload a MP4 video into MEP2013. What I can't understand is it will allow me to upload other MP4 files?

I'm on Windows 10. I have uninstalled MEP2013 and reinstalled it.

Help, please.

Hi and welcome to the user to user forums.

Movie Edit Pro will only work fully on Windows up to version 8.1.

The program will not run on Windows 10 fully and is probably not dealing with newer variations of codecs or their wrappers or files above 4GB in size.

There could feasibly be more reasons but if it was working with the same file on an earlier version of Windows then that is what I would say the problem is.

Updating the program to a newer version may also not work if you are installing an upgrade to an existing computer that previously ran the old version of Movie Edit Pro if the computer does not meet the newer minimum specifications demanded of the new versions of Movie Edit Po.

Hi

. . . . I try to upload a MP4 video into MEP2013 . . . .

MP4 is not a video file format - it is a container file and can have a variety of video and audio codecs in it.

Is the video from the same source as other video files that will load.

Post a MediaInfo analysis of the video that will not load from the Text view.

Also include your computer specification - and Windows version - see this topic for more details of what is required.

Hi,

That implies MEP 2013 is otherwise working to your satisfaction under Win 10, apart from this problem?

As the message is only displayed for that specific MP4 file (not for any of the others you've tried) then please use the tool MediaInfo from
https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
to show us its full details.

Or, if it's not confidential, upload it so that we can try it directly.

EDIT: John beat me to it again ;-)

Terry, I think you need to update your processor. You can't keep up with the rest of us! 😊

 

All my forum comments are based on or refer to my System 1.

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.

Hi Anne

Thanks for the MediaInfo analysis, that is exactly what we wanted.

Looks like this was recorded on a smart phone and from the analysis there are 2 problems:

  1. The video is encoded in HEVC format - MEP 2013 does not have the decoder installed for this format hence the error message you are getting.
     
  2. The video is variable framerate which is known to cause audio synchronisation issues.

The easiest fix would be to run the video through a video converter, Handbrake is a free converter, to change the encoding format to AVC (h.264) and the framerate mode to Constant using these settings in the Handbrake Video tab

For future recording, if your device allows it, change the recording format to AVC (h.264) and Constant framerate.

If not then conversion will be required.

HTH

Thank you very much, John. I have AVS convertor but it wouldn't work. I will try Handbreak and your other suggestions.

Many thanks for your help.

Too right Al!

I'm also getting my typewriter water-cooled too, so reckon that should help!

Wish I'd learned touch typing a few decades ago. I watch in awe as my my wife's fingers fly over her keyboard.
