I have been trying to import AVI (H.264) files but keep getting the file format mismatch. The files all open, play and edit (WMM) on my laptop but not on VS. Other file formats seem to be fine but I wanted this program for its HD capabilities. The files,on sdhc card are from a Veho Kuzo camcorder. how do I set up the preferences so that the program can see these files?
View 9 RepliesI used to own Ulead Video X2 and after consulting many times with Ken Berry I was successful in some important projects. I now have purchased VideoStudio X6 with the hopes of it performing well right out of the box. No such luck. I have installed in on my HP work laptop thinking it's much more powerful than my home PC, but in trying to create my first project, I am not able to simply import a jpg to do a slide show with music. It gives the error "Unable to open file [xxx....xxxx...jpg]. ! File format mismatch [16803:1:3]"
I have of course scoured the web and have seen some other users struggling with the same error. So far all I've seen is that it may be the video card or Update to the Graphics board driver. I'm not too techy though I work at HP...and am really nervous about altering any updates on my work laptop. I haven't yet tried any updates or patches thinking that if I just got this, shouldn't it be the latest? I was successful in importing video from an iPhone and I've been successful with mp3 audio files as well, but the jpg's just aren't working. I even tried converting the jpg files to pdf format - but that's not supported I see as an importable file.
I have also noted that if I try to view the sample pictures from the library, it tells me "Original file [C:program filescorelcorel videostudio pro X4samplesimagexxxxxJPG] doesn't exist. I am able to view the sample video clips. But when looking at where Corel was saved on my system, it didn't default to "Program Files" which I thought is what it stated upon installation, but it put it in "Program Files (x86)" So I don't even know if I can relink to fix that. Even if I do, that doesn't solve my jpg fundamental problem. I hate to sound like a whiner, but I'm really discouraged and hope the fix is easy after spending so much for a reliable Video SW program. My wife's best friend passed away and I've promised a tribute slide show for her wake to be completed in the next 2 weeks.
I have problem when I import video. It's says unable to open file, file format mismatch. I have make a clip for Wednesday!!
In addition, LAST TIME WHEN I pressed "create video file" it stopped in the middle of the saving. Why did it happen?
I have just download and installed Corel VideoStudio Pro X4. Mainly with the expectation I could import and work with MTS file formats.
However I've gone to import them and it comes back with a file format mismatch error. This doesn't make any sense to me, as I read up on it and thought the program could work with these files.
The files that I want to import are very big, eg/ 206mb and 418mb. Do I need to downsize these to work with them? If so, how do I do this?

I did import wav files in the past without any issue. Is there something else to wav files than just the name and extension which could be causing this error?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI previously used VideoStudio 10 to capture and then edit my DV Camcorder files, this was on Windows XP and I never had any trouble with this. I have just captured my final DV tape with this camcorder (I'm about to get a new camcorder) on this old PC, however I have now got a new Windows 7 PC, and am now trying VideoStudio Pro X4. I have moved this captured AVI file to the new PC but as soon as I try to import it into VideoStudio I get the following:
File format mismatch

I have used some other software to convert the AVI file into a DVD compatible MPEG2 file, so I guess I could do my editing on this instead if all else fails?
In VideoStudio X4 (SP1), I am trying to import an edited (VSX4) project into the library in order to use parts of it in a different project. This is something I have done successfully before but the last couple of times I have tried I get the message: “Unable to open file. File format mismatch”. (1081:1:3) There is no problem opening up the project in the normal way it is only when I try and import it into the library. I have compared the properties of these files with the successfully imported files and, to me, they look identical. They were all captured from video in the same way,

If I try using the Import Media Files folder icon, I get a File Format Mismatch Error. I can open these files with MS Paint as well as Paint Shop Pro so there is no issue with the files themselves. Also, if I just drag and drop the files from File Explore to the StoryBoard frame, I don't get any errors and I can render my video. Since I have two copies, I installed one on my vista machine and I don't get that error. I can import .avi movie and .mpg files with no error.
I also installed Service Pack 1 for Video Studio 5x. I am running Win7 64 bit home premium SP1.
This is driving me up the wall, I have pro X4 on my laptop and computer, I can't edit on my laptop as it lags, maybe Corel is too big for my laptop I don't know. On my laptop it allows me to import AVI. files, however, when it comes to my PC, it doesn't.It doesn't make sense how I CAN on my laptop but CAN'T on my pc, It did used to work fine on my pc when I had X2, but towards the end it started making the same error message
'Unable to open file [N:GFFILE309.AVI]. File mismatch'
I'm losing my temper, converting the files isn't an option as it makes my HD footage look like crap and pixilised, it also takes forever. I am at a dead end, I have installed the Corel Videostudio pro x4 codec and that hasn't worked at all.
I have just started getting an error code saying "File format Mismatch" when I attempt to save a VPS file as an mpeg. I've been doing this for years now I get this error code.

Circumstance: Using VSPX3, how to combine multiple VSP files in a single movie using "insert media file into timeline" command on File menu?
Each VSP file represents different segments of movie. Each VSP file has items on Overlay track, title track, Music track, as well as transitions.
Each VSP file can be loaded using "Open Project" command under File menu.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just upgraded to Videostudio Pro X5. I am starting a project and would like to upload the videos and photos as my first task.
I have some video footage on a dvd and when I try to upload it I get a message saying:
"unable to open file / file format mismatch"
It has been a while since I have used this program and my brain is slowly trying to remember how it all works
I have just installed VideoStudio Pro X5 on my computer and have not been able to open any videos in it due to 'file mismatch error.mp4'.So I went online to search for fixes and came across the patches. I downloaded BOTH but only pack TWO would work for me.When trying to install pack 1 (of COURSE the most important) I get this error message:
"The installed version of the application could not be determined. The setup will now terminate" EVERY single time I retried it, this is all I got. Pack 2 went off without a hitch and installed perfectly.
And I know there are other posts about this and they say 'product is already updated if you get this message' but I am still having the issue.Details about where my videos I'm trying to edit came from: recorded from an AverMedia C281 Game Capture HD in full 1080 HD
Videos were recorded on to a WD Elements 2TB 2.0 external hard drive- which in turn saved them as .mp4 files.
'How' am I trying to add video?I am on the 'edit' yellow box.I am clicking on 'file', 'insert media file into library' then I select the 3 hour video (are there limits? I've also tried 20 minute videos and they don't work either) that I'm trying to edit and it then reads:
"Unable to open file M:(video number). File Format mismatch. Then [16803:1:2] in brackets?So I'm sitting here with a product that is useless to me as I can't even get it to open anything up. And I don't want to spend time converting these videos as many of you say 'it works fine for me- don't know what you're doing wrong. all you can do is convert them'.
I have VideoStudio Pro X3 and when I try to insert movie clips I get a "File Mismatch" message. My clips are created from a smart phone - Samsung Fascinate - and are of .MP4 format.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of giving Video-studio another chance, in that I am testing VSX4 TBYB, Let me say - its a close tossup between Cyberlinks latest Power Producer and its amazing speed and quality output albeit a little more fiddly, and well to be honest if it were not for Video-Studio's past history being so fresh in my mind the decision would have been easy..
Anyway - So far my clips captured with my new Canon Legria HF-G10 don't show any evidence of that Old AVCHD editing blip or mismatched frames around a transition when working with raw AVCHD Files,
So is it safe to assume that the problem is now redundant for good!????? Or have I just been lucky so far - or is that unlucky? in that the TBYB is coded differently to the Ultimate version which I may or may not end up getting..
My other concern was and still is the fact that some of my old raw MP4 video clips can not be directly imported into VSX4 TBYB as they could when I tried VSX3 TBYB version before I ended up deferring, so I am wondering whether this only applies to the VSX4 TBYB seeing VSX3 TBYB had no problems? or is that another major issue that Corel just cant get right, what with only the occasional version capable of working with all multimedia files out there..
Which reminds me is anybody else noticing a significant contrast and detail loss even after smart rendering with VSX4? or is this only because I am using a TBYB version and thus full 25 Mbit Rendering is available in the Ultimate version?
I created a 4 minute video project in VS Pro X3. Source of video clips were from a Sony HDR-CX550V camcorder. I added some titles to a few video clips and 3 titles on a "Graphic - Color" background. When creating a video file (under SHARE) and choosing Blu-ray ----> NTSC MPEG2 (1920 x 1080), I found the following: Video clips are sharp, no problem, but the titles have black lines at irregular intervals, to the point that the letters cannot be read. What may be the cause and how can I eliminate this problem.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Video Studio Pro X2 on XP.
I have a personal website and upload video files for people to download. My videos are around 45-60 mins long and I save them using MPEG optimizer usually, resulting in file sizes of around 2GB. These files take a long time to download, and I have to upload them overnight. I've downloaded video files of around 60 mins in duration from other sites which have been only 500MB in size. These tend to be WMV files 25bit with frame size around 640 x 480 and bit rate of around 1122fbps, frame rate 25fps.
Is this the best format for achieving a compromise between quality and file size? The WMV options un custom are much smaller frame sizes, where can I find the right option? Is there a better format available in the custom menu?
I have two video files VTS_01. and VTS_ 02, they are VOB files roughly 30 min in duration. The files have been copied from a DVD RW disc. the content is a TV recording. I have been trying to copy them into Corel Pro 3 for editing purposes. all I get is file mismatch (unable to open file , file mismatch). How i can copy them to Pro3.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI own VS 12, and when I work with HDV footage, I'm able to create an HDV video file either with MPEG optimizer or Same as first video clip. The project smart renders and I get HDV file. I've downloaded VS 15 trial as a test, as it has some additional features I'm interested in. However, with the VS 15 trial, following the same steps produces a file formatted as NTSC DVD 4:3 and no smart render. Am I missing something or is this a bug/limitation of the trial? Corel says the trial is fully functional. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit i5 4 GB ram. I even tried installing the VS 15 trial on my old XP laptop and had the same issue.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a h.264 video file in .m2ts format, captured using a TV card, and I want to burn this to an AVCHD DVD. I've been trying to do this with VSX4. I don't want the video to be re-encoded because it's already in a suitable format. If I open X4, and then Create Disc and insert the video, the video plays fine and everything looks OK. However, when I click Burn on the final screen, I get a message saying that the video will take some time to render (oddly, since I've chosen the option not to convert compatible files, and VS seems to be taking notice of this choice because if I de-select it, the video size on the disc indicator increases). If I click OK, the rendering process seems to start but it jumps to 3% and then nothing happens. It just sits there.
I thought maybe VS had a problem with the video, so I tried inserting it onto the timeline, and I can edit and output it from there without any problems. But, I can't burn it to AVCHD DVD without re-encoding it, which I don't want to do because it will reduce the quality of what is already a compatible file.
how to configure an output file in the best possible format for uploading to youtube using VS X2. The youtube tutorial here is a bit out of date. My input file is as follows:
PAL (25 fps)
Microsoft AVI files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 16:9, 25 fps
Lower Field First
DV Video Encoder -- type 1
DV Audio -- PAL, 48.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo
I have been creating an mpg file but I think its better to create an mpeg4 file as it is smaller and quicker to upload I think. I also want to maintain the 16:9 format.
I found the following recommendations on the youtube website: YouTube can accept almost any video format for upload, but for most users we have found the following settings give the best results.
Video Format: H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred
Aspect Ratio: Native aspect ratio without letterboxing (examples: 4:3, 16:9)
Resolution: 640x360 (16:9) or 480x360 (4:3) recommended
Audio Format: MP3 or AAC preferred
Frames per second: 30
Maximum length: 10 minutes (we recommend 2-3 minutes)
Maximum file size: 1 GB
My first question is - X2 has a built in mp4 "creator". Is this one OK or is the one downloaded and installed from divx.com better? What should the frame size be? On the compression tab what should the video settings be? As my input file is 25fps does that mean that my output should be the same even though youtube recommends 30fps?
