Resolve got it sorted on the Mac and with the paid version on the PC.

You may get more info posting this to the Resolve subforum.

Hi John, as I said, its likely due to system config or the file type not supported in the free version on your OS.
please see this thread which might help
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=69837
