The crash problem may be also caused by some error occurred during the installation process. Uninstall the program, turn off your Firewall and download the most recent version from here. Make sure you've closed all other running applications before the installation.
If the size of the output file is irrelevant and only quality matters we would recommend you to choose MPEG2 - Best Quality on the Formats tab.
The file size mainly depends on the Bitrate: the lower Bitrate you choose the smaller files with worse quality you get. Optimal Bitrate (for .avi file) is 800 kbps.
- Tap 'Settings' button on Formats tab.
- Tap Dixv Video Codec 'Options' button.
- Change Bitrate.
- Tap 'Settings' on Formats tab.
- Tap Xvid Video Codec 'Options' button.
- Tap 'Target Quantizer' button and it will change to 'Target Bitrate'.
- Change Target Bitrate.
4. I have NVIDIA graphic card but I can't enable GPU acceleration.
Make sure your graphic card supports CUDA technology. You can find the list of CUDA-enabled GPUs here. If your GPU is CUDA-enabled, download and install the most recent GPU drivers.
5. I get an error while converting to CUDA-powered format with enabled GPU Acceleration.
Download and install the most recent GPU drivers.
If the issue remains, disable GPU Acceleration until the NVIDIA team updates the drivers: choose Preferences in the Tools menu and clear GPU Acceleration check box.
6. The quality of converted file is rather poor. How can I increase the quality?
The video quality depends on the Bitrate: the higher Bitrate you choose the larger files of better quality you get.
If you use Dixv codec please do the following:
- Tap 'Settings' button on Formats tab.
- Tap Dixv Video Codec 'Options' button.
- Change Bitrate.
If you use Xvid codec please do the following:
- Tap 'Settings' on Formats tab.
- Tap Xvid Video Codec 'Options' button.
- Tap 'Target Quantizer' button and it will change to 'Target Bitrate'.
- Change Target Bitrate.
7. How can I change the frame size of the output video?
- open Movavi Video Converter and add the files you would like to convert to the 'Source File' list;
- Tap 'Settings' on Formats tab.
- Tick off 'Video same as input'.
- Change either 'Width' or 'Height'.
8. Can I increase the volume of the output video?
You can change the volume only of AC3 sound (DVD):
- Choose 'Preferences' in Tools Menu.
- Increase AC3 volume.
9. There are "black bars" on the converted video. What should I do?
When the original video has one resolution (e.g. 720x480) while you convert it with some other resolution (e.g. 720x576) Convert Video adds black bars so the output video would not be deformed. We might recommend you to try the other Resize method:
- Click 'Settings' on Formats tab.
- Choose Stretch/Crop Resize method.
10. When playing or converting my videos I don't have sound (video).
You don't have the appropriate codecs installed on your computer. Download this Codec Pack to get all popular codecs installed on your computer.
11. The video and audio tracks are out of sync when I play the converted video file.
Make sure the file you convert (the original one) is not corrupt. Try to play the whole original file with Movavi Video Converter. If it plays fine, then download and install Codec Pack,
to get all popular media codecs to your computer.
If the problem remains, please contact our Support Team filling this feedback form, upload the original file and provide the full information on the problem.

13. PSP doesn't recognize MP4 files from Movavi Video Suite.
Sony has released the new version of PSP system. Movavi Video Suite converts files for the new version now.
Please visit Sony's web site http://www.sony.com and update your PSP's system to the latest version.
14. When I add file there is the error: File not found.
The file name you try to open contains symbols that can not be interpreted by Movavi software. We would recommend to rename file. If the problem remains:
- Make sure the file is not opened in any other application.
- Make sure that output folder is located on the hard drive as Movavi software can not save directly to CD/DVD disks or connected devices.
15. When I add file there is the error: Can't open file. Unknown format or corrupted file.
Check if the format of the file you want to add is supported by Movavi Video Suite. You can find the list of all supported formats here.
If the format is supported, make sure you can play the file in any other video player. If you can play your files in other video players, please contact our Support Team filling this feedback form, upload the original file and provide the full information on the problem.
Note! The file can be copyright protected. Movavi Video Suite does not support protected files.
16. When I convert my video the program says: Can't write the output file.
Please make sure that
- your file is not corrupted - try to play it in Movavi software to see if the program can play the whole file without problems;
- file name is short contains no unreadable symbols;
- you have enough free space to store output files;
- your output folder is located on a local hard drive.
17. Convert Video & Audio module shuts in the middle of conversion.
Make sure the file which you convert is not corrupted. Try to play it in the program from the beginning to the end. If it plays alright all the way through, then try to change the output directory and output format.
If the problem remains, please contact our Support Team filling this feedback form, upload the file you try convert and provide the full information on the problem.
18. Convert Video & Audio module crashes with Windows Error every time I try to convert MOV files.
Install the most recent version of QuickTime.
19. Converted files can't be played in any program.
It may happen because of lack of appropriate codecs.
Please download this Codec Pack,
to get all popular codecs installed on your computer.
Split Video Mode
20. When I set a marker, the error appears: Position of the final marker should be more initial!
The final marker has to be to the right from the beginning marker. The beginning marker has to be closer to the beginning than the final marker.
21. Why 'The same as input' box is inactive when I split DVD videos?
Since VOB is a container format for DVD-Video media requiring special software and VOB files are encoded very much like standard MPEG-2 files we would recommend you to choose MPEG - and MPEG2 in Save Wizard window - Output format.
Edit Video
22. Where is the 'Save' button?
To apply changes and save video, please go the Export tab and choose either saving video as a media file or burning to CD/DVD.
23. I have selected the filter but the converted video remains the same. What is wrong?
Check if the filter has been added to to the list of Applied Effects: click the clip on the timeline you are applying an effect to with the right mouse button and choose 'Applied Effects' in drop-down menu.
24. Capture Video does not recognize my camera.
Capture Video module transfers video from DV cameras and supports direct video capture via FireWire/i.Link (IEEE 1394). If your camera supports DirectShow it should work fine with Capture Video module. We would recommend you to reinstall the camera drivers.
25. There is no preview while capturing.
Please make sure that
- 'Preview' option of Capture video is ticked on;
- camcorder is connected and turned on;
- camcorder is recognized by Movavi software and by the operating system.
26. There is no sound in captured video.
Test all the Audio Capture Devices from drop-down menu. If the problem remains, we would recommend you to re-install the drivers for the camera.
27. I can not open captured video in any module except Convert Video/DVD.
The capture process results in uncompressed video - raw avi - which means you receive an extraordinary large file of the best quality possible. Raw avi format is supported by Convert Video & Audio only. Convert it to the format that suits your needs best for future splitting or editing.
Create CD/DVD
28. Can I change the DVD Themes myself?
We regret that the support of self-made DVD menu templates is still in project, while you can experiment with the existing templates:
- Open C:\Program Files\Movavi Video Suite\Templates\
- Replace the existing .png files with those of your own. Regard the
size of original graphics.
29. During the burning process the error occurs: Can't write Audio/Video stream.
Please make sure you can preview the original file(s): select the file and press the Edit button.

This error indicates that one or more of the files you burn has a long name that can not be interpreted by Movavi software. Please rename the file.
