Having problems with importing mp4 file from a GoPro which I have been doing happily for about a year. Today, all the videos I have, now do not preview and a message comes up stating "The file has an unsupported compression type." when I try to import. I do quite a few for a client so need this to work like it used to. So this needs to be fixed. I have read somewhere about codec info which I know nothing about so attached screenshot. I have uninstalled everything Adobe and reinstalled cloud and Rush with current update, but still does not work. Please help.
