Audacity Will Not Open Project File

Post by stiles » Thu Dec 09, 2010 12:43 am

Hello,

I imported a MPEG 4 audio file from my computer into an Audacity project I was working on and the file did not import correctly. Not only did that file import incorrectly, but I could no longer play any of the audio files in that project. After closing Audacity, having decided to work with a past saved version of the project file, I found that I can not open the project file up again. Error message - Error Importing: Audacity did not recognize the type of the file 'F:filename.aup'. As well as an error message stating that I have to open project files by selecting open in the drop down menu, which is the process I had just completed - WTF... Please Help!!!

MPEG 4 is usually a video format.
Do you have the current version of Audacity (1.3.12)?
Do you have FFMpeg installed?
Which operating system are you using?
Is your F: drive a local hard drive (inside the computer)?
