Getting told that the video files that I want to select don't exist

Post by dsp333 »

I can watch the video files in MPC, and when I choose Open Source > File, and go to the folder containing the videos, I can see their thumbnails right there (all files are MP4 btw). Yet when I tried to select either a single file from the folder, it tells me the file that I just selected doesn't exist. When I try to select the entire folder as a batch, it gives me this message:

No, it's telling you that HandBrake doesn't support the file format or they are copy protected / corrupted.

Either way, I'm not sure what format your files are in, but HandBrake isn't going to process them.

Actually, the path your downloaded this file to may be too long:
C:\Users\Buttface\Downloads\FIST of the NORTH STAR - Complete 1984-2015 Collection - 480p-720p x264\b. Series (480p-720p)\a. Fist of the North Star (Japanese Dub - 480p)\Season 1 (1984-87)\Chapter 1 - The SHIN Arc (Eps. 01-22)
This is not a complete file name - it doesn't have the .mp4 or .m4v file extension. It's also almost 230 long WITHOUT the extension.

When you're downloading stuff from the internet, the people who uploaded it often aren't limited by maximum file name limits of Windows.

Great catch, that's exactly what it was! Moved to shorter directory and it's working fine now. Thank you Woodstock.
