Windows 7
Audacity 2.1.1
exe installer
I try to open an mp4, a message comes that it is an Advanced Audio Coding file, and Audacity cannot open this type of file. I believe this is happening because I allowed an anti-malware program to clean my computer a bit too well. How do I reset Audacity?
Audacity won't open mp4 files

Re: Audacity won't open mp4 files
Something called FFmpeg libraries has to be installed into Audacity before you can open mp4 files in it ,Xerlome wrote:I try to open an mp4, a message comes that it is an Advanced Audio Coding file, and Audacity cannot open this type of file ...
