    Cannot play back MP4 file due to file name containing dot.


    I download movie files from website and format of file name is xxxx EP.01, xxx EP.02, etc. It means episode 1, episode 2


    I cannot play back. there is a message box informing that the file type is 01 or 02 ???? Windows 10 cannot recognize it. I have to change file name to xxx EP.01.mp4 or EP.02.mp4, etc. manually all files.


    I don't have this problem when I use my old laptop with windows 7. What should I do to make system recognize movie files?


    Thank you.

    :)

    Convert vob files into mp4 (chromecast)

    I have draged the files from videos (dvd's) on to my pc, now i need to convert them from vob into mp4 video so i can watch it using my chromecast (have bought my first media server).

    My problem is i want it converted into one video i can click on and press play, because it's chromecast it has to be mp4 but most programs i have tried like handbreak makes the video smaller or bigger then the original size on the dvd or just converts the 10-15 vob files into 10-15 mp4 files, not one file i can click on and play. I want it losless not compromised

    After that i can start ripping dvd's in mp4 instead of just draggin the files into a folder and right click on the folder and choose to play it with vlc.

    What program can do that? I want a free program but if i have to i will pay for it if it's a good program that's better then all the free program, as long as it works, convert the video into one video file in mp4

    MP4 File will not play

    Based on the information you have provided, considering that you are encountering the same issue when playing the MP4 file on different applications, then it's possible that the issue is with the file itself. This could be caused by an interruption or an
    issue while the MP4 is being copied. I suggest that you create a new copy of the file and check if the issue persists.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.

    Cannot play back MP4 file due to file name containing dot.

    Compare a text file containing file names with files in a folder

    Hi,
    I have a text files containing a list of file names and I wish to compare that to a folder with files in it.
    The folder contains a rather large number of files and I want to see if files in that folder exist in the file with the list of file names.

    Hope I have explained my problem clearly.

    Would appreciate any help
    Thanks
