Video clip won't load or play properly

Loading:

1) Most video problems will be solved, if you use the conversion tool.

You can load almost any video file format which will then be converted to mjpeg, an uncompessed format that's really easy to work with.

2) If you do not want to convert your video files, most problems will be solved by installing the LAV codecs:

The LAV codecs will make it possible to load almost any video file format without converting it.

Please note that we recommend removing FFDshow, Haali Media Splitter or any other codec pack before installing the LAV Codecs.

You may also use the debug feature to find unwanted codecs.

Playing:

If your video is running too slow or choppy, shift to hardware resizing.

Please note that this may cause a minor change in the text appearance.
