Message: Video Format not supported Impress

[DavidE1]

Hi Folks

I am trying to play an MP4 file in Libre Office Impress and getting the error message “Format Not Supported”

I am running Libre Office Version: 6.2.4.2 (x64) on a new computer running Windows 10 64 which is regularly updated

I have read some of the older posts relating to previous version but wonder if anyone has more recent information as to how to resolve this problem. I am trying to put together a simple presentation featuring some audio and a video for the day after tomorrow with limited time.

Any assistance gratefully received

David

As described at Media Support - The Document Foundation Wiki, audio/video support depends on specific components installed on operating system. In Windows case, it’s DirectShow codecs; and you are advised to install third-party codec packs in case when ther’s no pre-installed DirectShow codec available.

Thank you for your reply.

is this the appropriate codec pack?

Windows 10 Codec Pack

or do I need to look elsewhere?
Apologies for asking rather than trying, limited internet access.

Please don’t “answer” when you are not giving an answer to the original question. Every Answer is supposed to contain a proposed solution to the stated problem. Your reply is a comment, and should be re-posted as such.

As to the codec pack - one (K-Lite) is mentioned in the page I linked from my answer. I don’t know if that one you found is also appropriate or not.

Thank you for the reply. I was able to download the Codecs and was able to use Impress for a Funeral today.
