How to solve "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed"?

Hi all,
I've just started using a new computer with WIndows 8.1 within the last week and have loaded my Adobe Premiere Elements 11.0 software into it.
In trying to view and edit a video I created on my old computer, I got "Media Pending" and "Media Offline" notices as soon as I began. The source files are located on an external drive with a permanent letter designation. I began the process of reconnecting my Project Assets files with the source files this morning, but have now encountered a new roadblock. Each time I try, I get the message "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." It offers no information or options other than to click "OK," which is not very helpful.
All the source files are located in one folder on my external drive. I have been able to reconnect the JPEGs and the mp3 source files but not the AVI video files.
Here are three screenshots. The first is the "Media Offline" message, the second is the message I receive when I try to reconnect my Project Assets to the source files and the third is a screenshot of the codecs installed on the new computer.
Here is my new computer information:
Model: Del Inspiron 3847
Intel Core i5-4460
CPU @ 3.20 GHz  3.20 GHz
RAM 8 GB
System type: 64-bit, x64-based processor
I hope someone can guide me. What do I need to do to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Thank your for the information supplied.
But, what are the properties of this .avi file that you seek?
Video Compression
Audio Compression
Frame Size
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Right now of prime interest is the video compression that is being wrapped by that AVI wrapper/container.
AVCHD.avi
MotionJPEG.avi
XviD.avi
DviX.avi
other
There are instances were a particular video compression or a particular container/wrapper format is each supported by Premiere Elements, but
not a combo of those particular two. But, in this instance, I suspect this to be a MotionJPEG video codec issue, but your details will
point us to the actual situation, and we will plan troubleshooting strategy from there.

    In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
    that appears at the top of this forum.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.

    About two months ago, I was able to edit these files and create videos from them. Now I get the following message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.
    Aside from regular Windows updates, nothing has been added or removed from my PC.
    I’m using fully patched Windows 7
    Premiere Elements 8.0
    Canon T2I Hi def movies are .MOV

    I can't believe that tech challenged moi is replying to the codec issue.  I bought a new computer with Windows 7.  I won't go into the tech issues with a Windows update....   Anyway I downloaded Photoshop Elements 8 and figured out how to import my photos and videos to Photoshop on the new comptuter.  Photos were fine but videos wouldn't play.  I got the messages about Apple's Quicktime required and then the "required codec is not installed".  I went "What is a "codec"!
    I downloaded Quicktime which went smoothly but I still had the "required codec not installed" message to deal with.  I researched and found that it referred to compressed/decompressed files(?)  Next I googled "Windows 7 codec download" (not even sure if there was one).  There was!   I clicked on the first result and downloaded the codec.  The info stated that this codec should read 99.9% of video files.  Went back to Photoshop and clicked on the blue video thumbnail.  It worked!!!  The video played just as it did on the old computer.
    Hope this helps someone else.  Now why would Windows 7 not include this codec in the first place.  I never had to download one before on other computers.  Only Quicktime needed downloading.  Oh, well.

  • Error Message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed?

    I am trying to get media from my computer, and I only receive this error message :
    This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed?
    What should I do? I have a window 8 laptop. My video files are from my itouch/ipod. I am using Premiere Elements 7.
    I have used this software with success before. HELP would greatly be appreciated!

    darlingdarleen
    Did both laptop 1 and 2 have QuickTime (latest version or any version) installed on the computers with Premiere Elements 7 when you got this "this type of file......" message?
    If you go to the opened Premiere Elements 7 projects involved and look at Share/Personal Computer/QuickTime, do you find that QuickTime Presets are shown and that you find export settings choices under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
    Look at the file name of the video. Do you see any irregularies in the name of the file, dots and such?
    If you record new iPod footage, open a new Premiere Elements project, and import that iPod footage, do you still get the error message? Putting aside, iTouch, what model iPod are these videos coming from?
    Thanks.

    Hallo! I use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on my computer (PC, windows 7). When I try do re-open my projects on Adobe Premiere Elements I get the message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. The file type of my saved projects is: Adobe Premiere Elements Project (.prel). The same happens when i try to re-open the auto save files. This is very annoying because I losse all my earlier work. I would be really grateful for help. Best regards, Stefan

    With the QT Player installation, you should have Apple's H.264 CODEC.

    Thanks for your input.
    iTunes has to contact Apple during the sync process, but iTunes can only sync the phone, if you can launch iTunes, which seems not to be the case, as "...the required software is not installed.."
    And, even if I have reached level 6, please remember, that not everybody is used to phrases like "d/l" or "w/pcs", especially if your post can have more than 160 letters

    1. Use the tags when posting code.
    2. In the main method, you don't change the args array in no way, and then invoke main(args);, that is, do the same things, leave args as it is, and then re-invoke the method, and so on, without anything breaking this chain. of course, it will never end.

    You need to deal with Adobe for you problem this is an Adobe Photoshop User forum site not part of Adobe support users here do not have access to Adobe activation servers and database.  You need to get someone at Adobe to help.  Adobe support is not what it should be. Good luck.

  • In the download box, the check box for "always do this for this type of file" is grayed out for the type of file I want, and that application does not appear in the application menu, so how do I set it to perform this function every time?

    The file type in question is InCopy, and the download box acknowledges that program as the type to open it with, but I never want to open it; I always want to save it. This feature works fine with other file types, but not with InCopy. I download thousands of files, so automating this is very important.

  • "This type of file is not supported" - Premiere Elements 9

    I've recently begun learning to use Premiere Elements 9, but I've run into a problem. I am trying to import videos that were recorded with a Canon G9 DSLR camera. I can add them to the Orgnizer and view/watch them from there, but when I try to drag them from the organizer to the timeline in a project, it says "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed".
    I followed the instructions on this page:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
    and used Super to convert one of the videos to a DV Digital Video file using the default settings as the instructions explain. It output a file with the extention ".avi.dv" which seems to have the correct attributes. However, I get the same error when trying to drag it into a project timeline - "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed".
    Am I doing something incorrectly? I've tried several different project files settings (including DV 48kHz) but this happens in all of them.
    I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me. I'm hoping I'm just doing something wrong.

    Steve Grisetti wrote:
     When you start a new project, click on the Settings button. In the preset panel, open the DSLR options and look for settings that match your specific video.
    I tried that, but the videos' resolution is 1024 x 768 at 15fps, which doesn't match any of the DSLR settings. The camera can record in 640x480 30fps, but the only setting with a matching resolution is 60fps, and it gives the same error when I try to drag in a 640x480 30fps video in the 640x480 setting.
    In any event, can't you import and use any video file (avi, wmv, mov, etc) in any project regardless of the project's setting? I tried converting the videos to .wmv format with the same resolution (1024 x 768) but at 25fps and was able to import and work with them in that format perfectly. It just won't let me import them in their original .avi form or in the Super©-exported .dv format.
    the_wine_snob wrote: Though my wife has a Canon G-10, I cannot recall the exact CODEC that is inside the resultant MOV format files ...If you are getting a "missing CODEC" message, then it is likely that you either do not have the proper CODEC installed, the installation is corrupt or that PrE cannot work with that particular version.
    The G9 outputs .avi files rather than .mov. I don't know what codec they use, but the codec is installed and functioning because the videos can be played in any player on this computer (eg Windows Media Player), and can also be played within the Premiere Organizer screen (where you import them and create libraries). I just can't preview/play them in the project window, or drag them to the timeline (it gives the missing codec error in both cases).
    Regardless of that, when I convert the video to DV-AVI format in Super© using the default settings as recommended by the link I posted, shouldn't the resulting video be useable regardless of its original format? It exports with the extension .dv.
    However, either I was mistaken before or something has changed, because now I can't import the .dv files at all (it isn't even listed as one of the supported file extensions in the import dialog box dropdown menu, and if I chosoe "all files" and try to import it it gives the "not supported/missing codec" error). Windows 7 also is not recognizing the .dv file as videos, and although I can play them in Windows Media Player, I first have to OK the error message that it doesn't recognize the file extension but "may still be able to play it" (which it does). I assume a DV codec must be installed, otherwise it wouldn't be able to play the converted videos at all.
    Am I missing something? Is ".dv" the wrong extension? The tutorial says it's "DV-AVI format", but if I change the extension to ".avi" the files won't play at all.
    Hopefully this makes sense, as you can tell I'm very new to this and am not yet familiar with all the files types / extensions and resolutions etc.
    EDIT: The program MediaInfo reports the .dv files exported by Super© are:
    Format :
    DV
    Format_Commercial_IfAny :
    DVCPRO
    at 720x480, 29.970fps with Windows PCM audio.
    It says the original .avi files are JPEG format with Windows PCM audio.

    Nope
    One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
    The other thing I could recommend
    Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
    It may take a day or two with it not being used
    Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
    If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store

    I am using the latest version of Photoshop CC. When I attempt to open a recent .psd file listed in the Open Recent list, I get the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." I can use the open command to open these files with no problem. The files are not damaged or missing the .psd extension and open normally except when using the Open Recent menu. OS is Mac 10.8.5. Thanks for any clues as to a fix.

    As weid as it may sound: simply don't use "Open recent...". Use Bridge to manage, find and start them in PS.
