Resolve can't play a standard .h264 clip

Resolve can't play the following file:


It just stutters and flashes a clip here and there with no audio.

Any clues as to why?

VLC, Windows Media Player and the Windows 10 "Movies and TV" player all play it fine, including skipping to any location in the file.

It's from a dashcam.

I think you will find it's because the sample rate is 32khz. Try converting it to 48khz with either Handbrake or Shutter Encoder.

Is it free Resolve version or paid Resolve Studio version?

Paid Studio version.

Yeah, I think you're probably right, although it doesn't make much sense.

I did end up converting it with Handbrake, but it's just a pain to have to do this for every clip. They're really long and there's a lot of them!

Perhaps someone at Blackmagic could look into this. The file must be relatively within spec since all the other software out there can play it.

Maybe ffmpeg will do a better job? I use it daily in a script/batch mode, just to convert videos taken by smartphones, they are H.264 video but with AAC sound; sound transcoding goes painlessly and is fast.
