Hey, I'm making videos of my gaming to upload to YouTube and so far all is good with the world. At least until today...
I've made a couple of videos that I want to run some quick edits onto, they've been made in exactly the same way as I've done previously with no changes made anywhere.
I record at 30 fps using D3DGear and record my mic input into the file as I make it. Yesterday a video I made was able to be edited in powerdirector without any problems, but today when I try to import the file it get this error code

Error type : Video cut
Material type : Video
Error information : Unknown
Material filename : C:\Users\Craig\Videos\Minecraft Raw Footage\Let's play 1.wmv
Detailed information : EC_ERRORABORT ..\CES_Source\Src\CES_Engine\CES_MediaLoader.CPP:6805
Source filter GUID : 187463A0-5BB7-11D3-ACBE-0080C75E246E

I'm not sure if there is anything in this information, I've recorded shorter clips since and they work perfectly, the two files in question are 5.2GB and 3.99GB respectively. Incidentally I can't do anything with either of them in windows movie maker, but the slightly smaller file (3.9GB) that I made yesterday works just fine

Both files play perfectly in windows media player, I just can't do any editing to them, does anyone have any clues? My initial thought is that maybe the file size is too big for the program to cope with and I'll be cutting the file size of future recordings in half. However I still need the footage I've recorded on these two.

Thankyou for your time

What happens if you run that 5.2 GB file through a file converter?

There many free file converters.
I have used Format Factory with success.

Try converting that WMV to MP4 or even just convert to WMV. The conversion process usually cleans up any problems.

I tried earlier to do that but the file converter that I tried wouldn't let me convert in full HD unless I paid for the upgrade, I've not had time since. I've now re-recorded the video and made improvements on it and the new recording has had no problems with editing.

The only thing I did different with the two in question was that I cut and pasted them to a different folder before opening so I can only assume that it caused an error in the process. It's lower down on my priority list now as I have a replacement, however I will install some converting software that can deal with the file soon and then convert and convert back to see what happens, then I'll post an update with the results
