Look in "Help > About Audacity". That will tell you the actual version number, then you can tell us the actual version number, then we will know which version of Audacity you are using. People often say "I'm using the latest version", then after wasting everyone's time for a few days it turns out that they are not.

What does that mean? Are you talking about FFmpeg?
If we are to help you we need accurate information. Please take the time and trouble to provide complete and accurate information.

What does that mean? Do you mean that the name of the file is "a 10 hour ..." ? That is not a valid file name for an MP4 file. Right click on the file and select "properties" to see the file name.

Does the file play in you usual media player? I'm guessing that it doesn't.

version 2.1.0
"Are you talking about FFmpeg" YES
the other questions are answered in the pictures I posted.
remember it plays the smaller mp4s just fine.
thanks all

Why should anyone one this forum be bothered to help you if you cannot be bothered to provide clear answers to direct questions?

Does you downloaded file play in other applications? (asked 3 times now).

I got it working!
several tries and it could not find that particular MP4 file.
I used pinnacle studio to make a smaller file and that worked.
so it took hours but then I made the whole 10 hours into a mp3 file.
started to load that into audacity and it found the big file.
this was after a couple of computer restatrts.

what are these red lines for?
thanks all

The red lines indicate that the waveform touches 0 dB at those points and "may" be clipped.
When there are just occasional thin red lines (as in your picture) it is usually nothing to worry about.
