mp4 not showing in Windows Media

[oldmonkeyman]

Greetings, I am exporting my project to .mp4 files using H.264 with Match Source - High bitrate.

When I used this exact setting last week, it worked just fine.
As of now, the video saves as .mp4 but there is no visual or audio in the playback in Windows Media.

When I click on the videos I created last week, they open and play just fine.

I am unsure of what to do as it seems like a "now you see it/ now you don't" type of issue.

When I look for info online, all the posts are from 2018 or older. 
Anybody have any ideas?

Hey oldmonkeyman,

Have you tried replying to yourself?

First, remember this is a user-to-user peer support forum ...

It would be handy to see the Export Dialog box as you're setting it for export.

try playing your videos in vlc and let us know if things are ok

VLC is the swiss army knife of media players...
