Video reproduction NUENDO 14

Continuing the discussion from Nuendo 14 - Video Player issues:

Hello, I have a problem with this video and wonder if its about some codec in my pc or the nuendo video engine. please HELP! it just says is not supported but I ve been working with very similar videos for weeks now and Im in a terrible rush

Without going into fine detail. The easiest solution to get any video working, without wasting time, is to get shutter encoder (free), and convert to a different format. (Try h264 mp4 for example).

That’s a crazy long pathname/filename, for the hell of it try renaming it to something more sensible or otherwise shortening the name of the file and/or directory it’s in.

What both the others said!

And IMO use Shutter Encoder to transcode to a ProRes Proxy video (.mov). Works great in Nuendo, I’ve never had an issue.

( of course the video in this scenario is just a reference right? )

I can duplicate the error message on an otherwise working MP4 by putting it in a similarly long path. There are older API functions that limit the total pathname to 260 characters and some functions probably die at 255.

Exactly. I was about to write the same.

You know you were very accurate, the name was the problem as soon as I made it shorter it worked as always… (it was the name of the video and I usually keep this for organizing fast and efficient work ) Also the autosave was the one that gave me the tip as 2 minutes after I left the project to come and seek for help, a pop up appeared saying the Autosave was failling and one reason could be the lenght of the name. Thanks to all the answers
