Hi

are you sure it is really mp3 codec inside? Sometimes files do not have the correct extension. It could be a wav file with mp3 extension for example...

with mediainfo you should be able to check the metadata for this file...

you can also try to convert it to WAV for example

thanks 1 user thanked DWAM for this useful post.

Your screencaps don't prove it is really MP3, correctly encoded. Did you really transcode the original Mp4 or simply extract audio stream?

Please use mediainfo to check metadata: https://mediaarea.net/

Why don't you simply use the MP4 for audio only in vMix?

A big MP3-file is no problem, for background-music I use a 90+ track MP3 that is 214MB without any problem. Check coding of file like DWAM suggested!

Depending on the complexity, and how many sources you need in Program, you can play an MP4 "without" video. Go to the Cog on the MP4 input, go to Color Adjust, move Black Stretch to 255. Black screen with audio playback.

OK if you only extracted audio, I think it is very unlikely MP3 codec. I'd bet for AAC.

What does MediaInfo say about audio in your MP4 file?

You can play audio only in this MP4 video in vMix: make sure the audio icon is green for this input and press play.

@ roughpear

How does the file play in other apps?
The issue at hand is why it causes vMix to crash and as DWAM has suggested, it might not recognize transcoding you used.
