As given in the screenshot, davinci don't seem to find the media even though it's just sitting right there, tried relinking, made new projects, changed the video to constant frame rate format, made new database altogether but still nothing seems to work.

Maybe they are recorded in a format that is only decompressed with the studio version But without info we couldn’t guess.

Had a similar problem and it turned out that I was using a different user for Resolve than the logged user, that didn't have access to the files.

By default, Windows hides file extensions. That's one of the worst ideas Microsoft ever came up with and you should immediately change that. (Internet search will explain if necessary.)

Once that's done, do the files actually have the .mp4 extension?

Looks like it's win 7. Could that create the problem?
