Help please...I'm trying to put together my first DVD with the nature clips I've spent the summer taking. When I try to render my clips, I'm getting this error...

Media Source Error (Error Code2)
A media file on your project may not fully comply with the file format or may lack the required devoding component for this file. Please try again using another media format. (I've tried them all)

I'm planning on rendering in 3 sections, and the first 12 minutes worth of my nature clips Produced nice video without a hitch, but now this error code is preventing me from producing the next section of clips I have so far.

Any ideas? I'm stumped (not hard to stump me though)

Thanks in Advance

A Media Info of the offending video would give us a better idea of the source file condition.

Have you tried a file converter?
The simple act of converting the source file to another format or even the same format works sometime to fix errors in the source file.

I often use Format Factory.

Well, I sure don't!

Which video where you producing when you got that error?

You could take the shot gun approach, convert all of them.

I have similar problem. Getting same error after loading video file to timeline zone in Edit tab. When I try to play it I getting same error message.

Everybody recommending convert video but I don't want convert every video. Before it was absolutely ok with same video source and same video files. Since few weeks ago I started getting this error message. Why?

It started with PW9 so I thougt could be error of this version of PW. After this I have install PW11 but error message is still appearing.

I have try to find information about solving this problem here and google, bud didn't find anything usable, except converting my video files ofc
