![Fix "Media Offline" Warning for H.265 files in DaVinci Resolve! [2023]](/img/1.gif)
man, you made my day, got pissed from all this "relink my ass" tutorials
Haha! That's exactly what I went through when I encountered this issue. Not being familiar with Resolve (at the time), I followed them all also others where I tinkered with project settings.... none of them work for this issue. I'm really happy you stumbled across my video and that it worked out for ya! Thanks for watching!
lol relink my ass indeed. Dungeons and Diving you are a life saver! i re-encoded with HandBreak at one point, and the time lost made we want to pull my hair out. im glad i found this tutorial so i didn't need to do that. And the fact that its not the master was incredibly annoying too. again LIFESAVER!!!!
@@CanaDan Yeah.. it's what I was doing initially when I first started to edit videos. There was NO way I was going to (more than) double my processing time just to reencode to H.264...
4 years later and windows still makes you pay for this stuff wow. thanks for the vid. fixed the issue immediately
Happy to help! It took a bit to figure out what was really going on since the "media offline" error was not helpful and potentially misleading as to the problem. If you haven't, would you mind giving the video a subscription to help others find this information? If not, no worries. Glad I could help you out and happy editing!
There's a much better solution than paying for this.
Use HandBrake to convert the H265 to AV1. AV1 is a better format than H265 and Resolve supports AV1 and AV1 10 bit.
And if you have a good GPU, converting the files takes a short moment as HandBrake now supports hardware accelerated encoding.
HEVC also supports 10bit but iirc 10bit videos (regardless of file container) require the paid version of Resolve. I could be wrong on that though. Also, if someone shoots in 8bit, converting to 10bit won't do anything for them.
Now, the entire reason I posted this was to avoid having people spend time converting from H265 to any other format. When I posted this 5 years ago, it essentially doubled the processing time to go from raw footage to an edited video. I got the codec free, but would gladly pay $1 to save any amount of time converting.
That really worked! That should be included by default in Windows 10. It's a shame that Microsoft is charging an extra fee for an important codec like that now. But I paid it, reopened Resolve and the clips worked without having to convert (and loose time and quality)
Glad I could help you out. If you wouldn't mind tossing a sub, it'll help me get this video to others looking for it. Thanks for watching and happy editing!
@@DungeonsAndDiving I can't get the darned MS thing to work. It works with its own player but not with anything else.
@@billspaced It's now behind a $1 fee. Did you buy it from the Win10 Store? If so, try reinstalling the app you'd like to use. Let me know bud
Thank you so much!!! I had spent HOURS trying to get this issue resolved and I'm pretty positive this particular fix was the one that solved this issue for me. I knew I had plenty of power on my machine and that there had to be an outside fix. You provided it and I've subscribed to your channel in anticipation of more shared knowledge with you. As my experience grows I hope to be able to pay it forward. Thanks man!
Glad to help and thank you for the sub. I intended my channel to be about enjoying life (hence the skiing and fishing videos, gaming on my secondary channel) but this video seems to help a LOT of people with this issue.
Thank you! This has been driving me crazy! I’m so tired of everyone’s advice being “relink media” when that clearly wasn’t the problem.
Will do! :)
@@studyzen8836 Happy it helped you out. If you wouldn't mind returning the favor, if you could toss a like and sub, it would help me get this video to others who could use the info as well. Either way, thanks for watching!
I rarely comment on any video but had to say a massive thank you for taking the time to upload this solution. This is a massive help to me after hours of searching through Reddit arguments and snobby edit forums. Thank you so much!
I'm glad I was able to help. I ran into this issue when I got my GoPro (same for other cameras too) this March for a ski trip. Couldn't edit anything.... since I had the issue I (correctly) assumed others would too. Took quite a bit to find the right solution, digging through all the same nonsense you saw. If you would be so kind, could you throw the video a like and sub? It's been helping me get the video to others who could benefit from the solution. Thanks!
In one click you saved me hours upon hours of work. Man there are some "super professionals" who don't cover this basic stuff for us newbies, the hell with them! You deserve one million likes! Thanks a bunch!!!
I really appreciate the positive feedback on this. I ran into this issue and absolutely did spend those hours of work trying to figure out the issue... hadn't really done much video editing at the time so I followed a LOT of solutions that did not work. If you haven't already, would you consider tossing a sub/like my way to help me get the info to others who could use it? Either way, thanks for watching!
This is actually such a good and quick fix, i spent way too long looking for fixes with no successs and keep getting a bunch a bad suggestions of forums and stuff. hats off to you.
also fuck microsoft for charging me 7 euros if i didn't use this link!
Man I'm glad I could help you out. If you haven't already, would you consider tossing a sub and like to the video? It would help me get this info to others who need it.Thanks for watching!
This man is a saint! I was about to tear my hair out ngl... You have saved me from a life of baldness and I am eternally grateful!
HAHAHA Glad I could help you out.... check out my other videos and you can see I didn't save myself from that bald life... hahaha.... If you haven't, would you consider tossing a sub my way to help me get this to others that are looking? Either way, happy editing!
Bro you are a legend. I've been looking for hours on how to fix it and this simple extension did everything. you're the real life saver
I'm glad I could help you out. I knew that if I was having this issue that others would too..... little did I know how many people would run into this and be stuck with other videos saying to reinstall or re-link the video clips....
This is an absolute gold mine! Been struggling with this for months and finally found my way here. Works like a charm now. Thanks so much!
Happy I could help you out.
Dude, you are legend... For everyone, make sure you follow his link, finding it from Microsoft asked me o pay for it :)
Glad I could help out. If you haven't already, would you mind tossing a sub and like? It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, this saves a lot of time converting, also works on Resolve 16 free Beta version.
Tip, to avoid memory errors, turn thumbnail mode off when searching media in large folders.
Glad to help. This should work for other applications as they use the codec installed on the system. Also, thanks for the additional tip. Hopefully someone benefits! If you wouldn't mind, could you like and sub? It'll help me get this to others. Thanks!
using resolve 16 on my predator helios 300 and windows asked me to pay $1 for some codec to play my 7 black footage.. f that thank you
@@SAFbikes lol glad I could help. If you wouldn't mind, could you throw a like and sub for the video? It's really helping me get it to more people.
How to turn thumbnail mode off? Using Resolve 17.
Thank you, man! You saved my day. We need more people like you out there.
Thanks! I'm glad to be able to help out. If you could throw a like and sub my way, it'll help me get the video to more people.
@@DungeonsAndDiving Sure
I've been trying to figure this out for the past few hours and you're the only one who could help me fix it. Thank you.
Luis Gaspar You're welcome! I knew that if I ran into this issue others would as well. If you haven't, would you consider helping me get this info out by tossing a sub my way? Either way, thanks for watching and happy editing!
over 3 years later and your clip is here to save the day, thanks!
I'm glad to be able to help out. If you could throw a like and sub my way, it'll help me get the video to more people. Either way, thanks and happy editing!
@@DungeonsAndDiving Already did!
@@radek_jurzysta It's much appreciated. Hoping it'll help others find this info. =)
Awesome! Thank you for this information! I installed it on my notebook with Intel i7 (without NVIDIA GPU) and the editing and rendering worked much better and faster.
That's good to hear. What's interesting is I have not seen an HEVC export option and it seem that they should all be H.264 from Resolve.
It helped me with my Iphone videos. Thanks a lot. And by the way: I like the length of your video.
Awesome! This fix should work regardless of the camera... What makes the problem is the codec used. Newer cameras should all support HEVC and a lot default use it for 4k 60fps. If you haven't already, would you consider liking the video and subbing? It would be greatly appreciated and help me get this video to others who could use the codec. Thanks!
AHHHHHHH man you're a legend! I had spent hours converting videos with different codecs and not understanding why Windows OR Resolve wouldn't show the video. Live saver!
That's exactly what I was dealing with about a year ago and wanted to help others once I found the solution. If you wouldn't mind throwing a like and sub to the video, it'll help others find this video a lot easier. Thanks!
Man of culture! I had created a programming channel recently. I faced this issue and I got so frustrated that I decided I will not go any further. You give me a new way man. I will continue from now on. Thanks.
Glad I was able to help. If you haven't, would you consider tossing a sub my way to help me get this video to others who need the info? Thanks!!
thank you so much, this was such confusion for me and you solved it in a mere 7 minutes.
Happy to be able to help. I'm glad it worked out and yeah, when I ran into this, the info was not out there about this problem. Took me a couple hours to figure it out, verify, and post the video to help you guys out as well. If you wouldn't mind throwing a like and sub, it will help me greatly in getting this to more people. Thanks for watching!
This was a massive help. All of my source footage was collected using a python tool. I could get H264 mp4 files, but DaVinci Resolve 16 wouldn't accept H264. Alternatively, I figured out how to get H265 files, but they were mkv (which DVR 16 wouldn't accept either). Ended up using HandBrake to get H265 mp4 files, but DaVinci Resolve started reporting Media Offline upon import. Grabbing the codec you linked was the last missing piece to the puzzle.
That's awesome. Once you get some content up, drop a link and show me how you're collecting the videos. Are you just scraping them from pages? I'm actually interested to see what you're doing with them too!
@@DungeonsAndDiving I'm actually a Twitch streamer. I'm snipping and stitching together brief snippets of video to make pop-up alerts, which seems to be pretty normal in the industry. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I decided to do it myself instead of commissioning someone else.
I fetch the source videos and audio clips from RUclips or other similar sites using a python script from GitHub called youtube-dl (for which I scripted a bare bones wrapper in PowerShell), along with ffmpeg. I'm entirely new to DaVinci Resolve, so I did my audio touchups in Audacity. All the videos were passed through HandBrake until I got a format that DaVinci Resolve would let me import, then it was a matter of slicing, splicing, and stitching together parts and pieces.
Not a particularly "professional" use-case, but I'm learning all this one step at a time - my last decade was spent focused on software engineering, instead of pursuing any creative passions.
If you have any questions about youtube-dl, PowerShell, or anything else about my workflow and use-case, I'll do my best to answer.
@@alexismai7741 man that was a great answer.... Funny thing is I'm a software engineer as well!
Thanks mate !!! you made my day..after researching the problem for hours I thought that I have lost all my footage !!! and then i stumbled on this video !!! You are the best thing that happened to me today !!! thanks mate again !!
Glad I could help you out. It took me a bit of time and I should have listened to my gut... instead of trying the stupid relinking videos over and over again. If you haven't already, would you consider tossing a sub to help me get this out to others who are looking for the answer? Thanks for watching!
Whaaat how is this not more popular took far too long for me to find this, seriously appreciate it man! Was getting frustrated not being able to edit my snowboard videos!
LOL I'm glad I could help you out man. It took me a couple of hours to piece the parts together (ensuring I had the right things) and I'm a computer nerd...lol.... When you're done editing, feel free to drop a link here to your BEST video.. I'd be happy to check it out (as a skiier!) ;-)
Thank you! For not only figuring it out! BUT ALSO PUTTING IT INTO AN INFORMATIVE AND EASY TO FOLLOW EXPLANATION.
Glad I could help. If you haven't already, would you consider tossing a sub? It would help me gretly in getting this info to others who could use it. Thanks!
Thank you so much bro.. finally I found the video I'm looking for 👍

Man, you made my day too. I had just finished building a new rig at great expense just to edit videos and then I got this offline crap. None of the other methods worked and I was having a heart attack. This video should be first in search results. You got a new subscriber too!
Glad I could help you out man. Thanks for the sub, it'll definitely help others find the video.
You are the man! This worked flawlessly on a Win 10 with an 8th gen i7 and onboard graphics on a laptop! Your tutorial saved me big time!
Glad I could help you out... my main goal was to help people avoid wasting time converting when they could work with HEVC directly. If you haven't already, would you consider tossing me a sub/like to help me get this info to others looking for it? Thanks and happy editing!
Brilliant - thanks very much. Nowhere else have I been able to find a solution. Thanks again.
I'm glad to be able to help out. If you could throw a like and sub my way, it'll help me get the video to more people.
Oh yeah, thank you very much - so much frustration for those of us who've been told to convert the files with Handbrake adding hours to the workflow. What a relief. Works fine with Davinci 16 free version and GoPro 8 Black footage.
When I first dealt with this, I didn't know if there was something wrong with the footage so that's why I needed to find a solution. Saving time isn't the only benefit. One of the others who commented pointed out that HEVC can store up to 10-bits of color data while H.264 can only hold 8-bits. While 1080p screens (most common still) will not show a difference, once you hit 4k or 8k you might/will be able to see more details. If you wouldn't mind throwing the video a like and sub, it'll help me get it (and the conversations here) to others who can benefit. Thanks and thanks for watching!
Did you download from his link? Mine still won't play right. Did you pay?
@@wendellmarasigan4028 your HEVC videos aren't playing still? Can you tell me what processor you have in your PC, what OS you have, if it works in other programs? I'll see if I can think of things to help once you let me know. Based on your other comment I thought it worked for you.
Can you convert 240fps hevc with handbrake and maintain the framerate? I have not been able to do that.
@@matiaskuusela When I check the settings in Handbrake, it shows me up to 120fps but there's also a "same as source" option. I would try that. What are you trying to do with the video? Personally, I use DaVinci Resolve for editing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I searched every single inch of the internet and only saw guys "relinking" videos. This is EXACTLY what i was looking for, as i could'nt edit the vids from my DJI drone which also happens to record with H265.

Don't normally comment on videos but I have to say, I did a scuba trip today and got a lot of footage. I just started using Davinci Resolve. I was hella stumped today and spent a good 4 hours trying to figure out what was wrong. I wanted this video. Not only giving instructions on how to fix it but explaining about the different types of format. Now not only does it work, but I am that much more informed. thank you!
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to be able to help out. If you could throw a like and sub my way, it'll help me get the video to more people.
Also, once you've uploaded the scuba video, let me know so I can check it out. I am not certified but did 4 "discover scuba" dives in the Mediterranean... Twice in Rhodes Greece and once each in Kusadasi and Bodrum Turkey.
Thanks I almost paid $0.99 for the same free codec lol. Worked perfect and I have a Ryzen 7 2700x.

Great solution and explanation! Thank you very much. I'm brand new at GoPro and editing.

Q: Any tips on best frame rates for recording motorcycle trips, and still getting smoothest image and resolution in Resolve 16?
I'm using a GPH8B and have a lot of 1080 240 fps rate, and having a heck of a time trying to find the right combo that provides easy editing with minimal optimizing time, and still provides a high resolution with smooth playback on a new and relatively capable editing computer.
Thanks again!
I always record in 4K 60FPS... that's why I only have the HEVC encoding option. The reason I do this is that I want to have the HIGHEST quality recording (4k) and the smoothest video (60fps) possible. I'd rather use up tons of memory/battery and end up with a better quality after editing, then to start of with a lesser quality video.
I know some people will stick to 1080p for resolution since most people have that for tv's still... but 4k is coming up. Also, when pushing to RUclips, YT will compress the video after you upload it to create multiple resolution. Starting with 4k will give better results after they compress it.
As far as 30 vs 60 FPS..... if you're doing slower things, 30 is fine (fishing, walking, etc). If you want motorcycle trips recorded, I'd stick to 60fps.
When it comes to your PC... the only thing that really matters is when you're editing. It does need a beefy PC to edit 4k 60fps HEVC video as it has to decompress while editing. My 7700k (not overclocked) does stutter at times in the edit since I'm too stubborn to tinker with settings. Playback from RUclips will be fine regardless of resolution as long as your Internet speeds support it!
Dude, I was reading dozens of forum posts on this problem that all talk about relinking, which was most definitely not the problem I was having. Others say delete your render cache, uncheck [obscure checkbox X], restart Resolve, hop on one foot... It was only when I found your vid that my problem was completely resolved. Thank you! For other readers, definitely use the link to the HEVC code in the description above to get this for free from the Microsoft Store. Otherwise they'll be asking CD$1.29 for something they should be updating in the OS for no additional charge. Subbed and respect, brother.
Glad I could help you out! I ran through the same exact experience you did with the forums and other videos. Thankfully, I'm kinda a computer nerd so Iwas able to piece everything together to help others out. I really appreciate the sub as it'll definitely help get this info to others who are in the same boat. Just an FYI... those "relinking" videos help... but only if you move your source videos and try to use them in project without updating the project (via relinking). Thanks again and happy editing!
It definetely worked like a charm! Appreciate the time you spent to make this video!
Glad I was able to help you out. If you wouldn't mind tossing a like and sub, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

You are a LIFESAVER!! I wanted to try using Davinci Resolve because I heard so many great things about it. Downloaded it and had the exact same error you did. Google and all the help documentations did not yield any results. Most were advising me to convert the videos to DNxHD (which seemed like a troublesome workaround). I even downloaded handbrake (now known is uniconverter) to no avail (they advertised DNxHD conversion but didn't have it!). I used the codec you recommended and Davinci sees my videos now!! Thank you!
For those who came across this video, if your videos are recorded in HEVC/H.265 at 8bits, this should work for you. You do NOT need to buy Davinci Resolve Studio, unless you are editing 10bit videos.
Glad it helped out. I had this issue when editing my skiing videos and figured I would share what I found. Little did I expect it to be able to help so many people. If you could throw a like and sub, it'll help me reach others who could use this info. Thanks!

Upgrading to Resolve 16.2 Broke all our videos recorded with our phones, I'd been encoding everything with handbrake until now and this 10-second fix got us back up and running! Thanks so much!
I'm glad it helped you out. That's the exact reason I didn't want to run things through HandBrake. it's a great program BUT with hours of footage, I didn't want to effectively DOUBLE that in order to edit down to a 15 minute video.

I have been fed up with Davinci trying to load Mavic Air 2S H265 files. Just bought the WIN HEVC for $1.45 instantly fixed my problem. Thank you this was the only channel with information that actually worked.
My pleasure man. I knew that if I came across this issue others would too. You're not kidding about the lack of info on this.. sometimes my nerdiness comes in helpful. How do you like the Air 2S?

@@DungeonsAndDiving Hi Mikethe Air 2S is a great flying drone. I have come from a background of flying race drones FPV and still do but I needed someting that would stand still in the sky for landscape photography so that is why I eventually "broke" down and bought the Air. Itis very well made and super easy to fly (perhaps because of my race drone experience), no where near as fast as a decent 5" drone but the gimbal makes up for all of that. I have subscribed to assist in getting the chanel going. Good luck for the future.
Thanks man. I appreciate both the comments and the support.
Easy fix, have been struggling with this for months! Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm glad I can help out so many people with this quick fix. If you haven't, would you consider tossing me a sub to help me get this info to others who are looking for it? Either way, thanks for watching and happy editing!
i spent the whole day finding a solution for media offline but nothing worked . Finally , this works . Thanks a lot man !!!!!!!!
My pleasure man... I'm glad I'm able to help people out with this info. If you haven't already, would you consider tossing a sub/like? It'll help get this info to others who need it. Thanks for watching!
I was also having issues with Davinci Resolve 16 and media offline on videos shot by my GoPro Hero 9. This fix in the video also fixed my media offline problem via Hero 9 footage. $1 fix was worth the time savings. Thank you!
Glad it helped you out. If you haven't, would you consider subbing to help me get this info to others who could use it? Thanks and happy editing.
old video but still solved my issue in 2022, searched for hours with no working fix, until coming across this video. 100% solved the issue. Thanks!
Yeah it took a bit to figure out what was really going on since the "media offline" error was not helpful and potentially misleading as to the problem. If you haven't, would you mind giving the video a like and subscription to help others find this information? If not, no worries. Glad I could help you out and happy editing!
Bro thanks for your advise. This helps a lot! I Hope your have nice days at the mountains!

Perfect fix ! I already started converting a few video files from 265 into 264 :D
Thanks man ! Great!
Glad I could help. If you wouldn't mind dropping a sub and a like, it'll help me get the video to others who might benefit from it. Thanks!
Can't view iPhone recorded video in Resolve and found this video which saved me!!!
It takes me only a few minutes and 1 buck to solve this in a very efficient way.
Thank you, my hero!!!😝

Brother , I love you man !! I'm working on a video for like 12 hours straight and suddenly I Get this message , I was about to lose my mind but ur the only one who had the solution , THANK YOU !
You're welcome! I knew that if I ran into this issue others would as well. If you haven't, would you consider helping me get this info out by tossing a sub my way? Either way, thanks for watching and happy editing!
Thanks for the info! It worked after the installation of the codec and reboot. You saved me from the same problem. Thank you so much.
I'm glad to be able to help out. If you could throw a like and sub my way, it'll help me get the video to more people.
thank you so much, i kept getting the app store notification to pay for the extension but didnt bother paying since my videos still play in vlc media player. I had no clue that the app would allow my videos to work in davinci, youre a life saver.
Glad I could help! If you haven't would you mind tossing a like and sub to help me get this video to others looking for this info? Either way, thanks and happy editing.
You are a true hero, i was about to rencode 8 hours of 4k footage to h264 it would have taken literally days thank you so much
Happy to help! It took a bit to figure out what was really going on since the "media offline" error was not helpful and potentially misleading as to the problem. Avoiding that wasted reencoding time is EXACTLY why I put this info out. Also, if you have 10-bit color in your video, tools like Handbrake would convert it down to 8-bit. If you haven't, would you mind giving the video a subscription to help others find this information? If not, no worries. Glad I could help you out and happy editing!
i watched about 20 different videos telling me to re-link but it never worked then i came across this amazing video. thank you so much i was getting really frustrated and you saved my videos so you deserve a sub from me
I'm really glad I could help you out. If you wouldn't mind (and haven't already), would you consider tossing a sub my way? It'll help me get this info to others searching for it (and push the right info instead of relinking videos). Thanks!
@@DungeonsAndDiving the first thing i did was sub
@@evanwhite8787 you are my hero!I hope that I can get this to everyone else who needs it so they don't waste their time with all of the videos saying to relink their media
You're the goat. Saved me lots of time since my iPhone videos are all H265! Thank you!
Glad I could help you out... I knew if I had this issue, others would too. If you haven't, would you mind tossing a sub/like my way? It would help me get this info to everyone else that is looking for it. Either way, thanks and happy editing!
Holy CRAP i could kiss you.
EVERY video on youtube tackling this problem was doing Relink, and your thing worked.
Who could have guessed good ol' microsoft store would have had the solution?!
We live in strange times. Thank you so much.

@@DungeonsAndDiving Sure, as long as you promise to get a better microphone 😄 thanks again.
@@JD.......... HAHA yeah man. That was a $20-ish logitech headset. Have a Blue Snowball now.... but most of my stuff is GoPro anyways.
@@DungeonsAndDiving Nice, good luck with your stuff.
Thanks you so much bro,Im just fed up this relink stuff,i am so glad i found your video,because as student who been told to had an online class and sent your presentation,asessment etc video it just make me mad cause i cant edit the video,but finally thank you bro you just make me happy! and solve my problem.Greeting from Malaysia!
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help out! When I ran into this issue in Spring 2019, I had the same thing... tons of "relinking" videos and it took me hours to find the right answer. If you haven't, would you mind subbing to help me get this info to others who are looking for it? Thanks and happy editing!
dude!!!! finally. I had even removed and reinstall DaVinci to see if it helped. Everyone kept talking about linking the danm clips.... YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!

@@DungeonsAndDiving done and done. I would hug you if I could lol.
@@lapara14 Hahah appreciate it. I know it was a pain to sift through all those "OOhhhh relink your videos" videos.. lol
Thank you! This works! I had some videos from my S21 and noticed that they weren't coming up; only the audio. Funnily enough, only after watching your video did I realize the thumbnails in Windows Explorer weren't generating either. After installing the app - BOOM! Problem solved!
Appreciate the tutorial, mate.
I'm glad to be able to help out. If you could throw a like and sub my way, it'll help me get the video to more people. Either way, thanks and happy editing!
YOU SAVED MY LIFE i’m subbing from all accounts and, this works for the same issue when recording with iphone I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
Haha, you're welcome. I appreciate the subs... it will help me get this info to others that are looking for it. Happy editing!
Dungeons and Diving haha thanks! the playback is horrible tho! 😫😫😫 i’m so frustrated lol
Thanks a million man! I wasted an hour of my time getting frustrated cause the 'relink media' shit wasn't working. Your video helped solve my problem. Cheers! :D

Thank you for taking time to show us the fix, been looking everywhere and keep getting the same instruction again and again like re-linking the file location, until this. god bless you.
I'm happy I was able to help you out. When I ran into this issue, I spent HOURS searching through all those re-linking videos as well. Took me a while to find the right codec (FREE!) and wanted to share with people who might be a little less computer savvy than I am. If you haven't already, would you consider subbing/liking to help me get this info to others who are looking for it? Thanks for watching!
thank you for this video bro.. i was waiting for this solution for sooo long!! really helped me out!
Glad it helps. If you wouldn't mind throwing a like and sub, it would help me greatly. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this simple guide.
You've helped me, thank you so much! ;)
Glad I could help you out. If you haven't already, would you consider a sub and like? It would be a great help in getting this video to others who are looking for the info. Thanks for watching!.
Thanks a lot, you're the only one that explains it clearly without any other bullshits. And most importantly, it works!
I'm glad I could help you out... I went through hours of other videos (most suggest "relinking the videos") before I went with my gut and looked into the codecs. Thanks for watching!
This is the best explanation I've seen so far. I recently purchased a hero 7 black and didn't realize the .265 issues. I'm using Davinci Resolve 16 and the red no media issue popped right up. I've downloaded the Microsoft patch but still am having the same problem. I'm running an older platform but unless I've missed something I still meet the minimum requirements (7th generator core with Windows 10) Frustrating is an understatement!!
I would try reinstalling Resolve... in the event that something didn't register correctly when installing HEVC. I know 7th GEN i7's work (it's what I have in my tower) so it shouldn't be the hardware. Can you watch the video in VLC (or other player)?? Let me know and I'll see if I can help you out. I'd really hate to recommend converting to h.264 with Handbrake (the last fallback) if your PC can handle HEVC.
Generally... I love you. This has been driving me mad! No videos would fix this but this did. So happy. I can confirm that this fix works with the DJI Mini 3 pro footage in D-Cine 24FPS

If you haven't, would you mind giving the video a like and subscription to help others find this information? If not, no worries. Glad I could help you out and happy editing! Also, happy flying ( I♥my Mavic Air 2)
why can't we give more than one like. Holy Sh$t dude. I'm going crazy going on all the forums, asking to do complicated sh$t. While others insist on relinking the videos. Thank you very much.
I'm really glad I could help you out. Comments like yours are definitely appreciated. If you wouldn't mind (and haven't already), would you consider tossing a sub my way? It'll help me get this info to others searching for it. Thanks!
So glad I found this!!!...even though i have been searching for a solution for an hour. Thanks man!!
Glad I could help! It took me many hours of bad advice (i.e. relinking videos, etc) and a few more to find the right codec (and FREE)!! If you haven't already, would you consider tossing a sub/like my way to help me get the info to others who could use it? Thanks for watching!
Dude thank you so much! And microsoft wanted me to buy the hevc extension for 1€ and I thought that it only works on their gallery app. This one is free and works everywhere fine. You have my like and sub ;)
I'm glad I was able to give you the link to the free version. $1 isn't much but there's no reason to pay for what is freely available... I don't know why MS tries to charge for the same thing as OEM package when you can get that free other than another quick buck from someone who doesn't know where to look. Also, thanks for the like and sub. It'll greatly help in getting this info to others looking for it!
I just got a Mac and I had this issue for about a month. I couldn't understand why. So I always went back onto my 5 year old windows to edit. Just updated the Mac and fortunately it works now.
Thank you so much, I've been watching so many of the relink videos and it never worked.
I found this video from a 3 year old redit thread
Happy to help! It took a bit to figure out what was really going on since the "media offline" error was not helpful and potentially misleading as to the problem. As far as your Mac, Apple has its own CODEC so this is "mostly" a Windows problem. If you haven't, would you mind giving the video a subscription to help others find this information? If not, no worries. Glad I could help you out and happy editing!
Oh wow this actually helped!
I lost the whole day on searching how to fix it.
Thank god I found you.
Thank you!

Glad it worked out for ya. If you wouldn't mind (and haven't already), would you consider throwing a like and sub to the video? It'll help me get the content to others who could use it. Thanks and thanks for watching!
Still the fix with Davinci 17. Another video I watched basically said the issue was with my moving the files off my flash drive that I use to record on Xbox. Plugged my drive in and it still didn't work so I was really happy to find this video! Starting a gmaer youtube channel and needed something to edit the videos that didn't leave a watermarks or cost a ton. Going to be more of a hobby than anything. Thanks again!
Glad I could help! DaVinci is a wonderful piece of software. Regardless of version, they still need to pay for the HEVC if they wanted to include it in the install. If you haven't would you mind tossing a like and sub to help me get this video to others looking for this info? Either way, thanks and happy editing. Good luck on that gaming channel!
The OEM thing using the link still worked for me, even without an OEM Machine. Thanks!
Thanks! I'm glad to be able to help out. That OEM thing seems to be a restriction to some people and not others. I tested it out myself and was able to get the codec without the OEM code as well. If you haven't already, would you consider tossing a sub and like to the video? It would help me get this info to others who need it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much! This 0,99€ was worth the price! Couldn´t find this resolution without you, so thanks !!

Thank you! I knew it must be a codec issue, but couldn't find the right codec to download. You saved me so much time and headache converting files. THANKS!
Glad I could help. Yeah it took a while to find the right codec... knowing I could find a legit one free. If you haven't already, would you consider tossing a sub and like? It would help me greatly in getting this info to others looking for it. Thanks for watching!
Dude.
Now that the free version of Davinci Resolve supports rendering a video in H.265 (which is much faster with the right PC ofc) I immediatly switched to rendering all of my videos with that codec. But it seems like the free version cant play back said rendered videos (which is absolutely baffeling - its like a mother denying being the mother of the child that she just gave birth to). Audio is fine but for the Video its just the good old "Media Offline" . I were about to go mad when I stumbled upon your Video - the small fee of $0.99 was next nothing at this point of my madness so I gave it a shot.
It. Freaking. Works. Thanks for your time and effort to figure this out and letting everyone now about it!
Glad I could help you out... I knew if I had this issue, others would too. If you haven't, would you mind tossing a sub/like my way? It would help me get this info to everyone else that is looking for it. Either way, thanks and happy editing!
@@DungeonsAndDiving ofc! :)
You're the hero of the day! haha... It's much appreciated and will help get this to others. Thanks!
This was sooo helpful. It took me hours to figure out until I found your info. BY the way, there are two types of HEVC video extensions in the microsoft store which look very similar. One appears at the top of the list in the MS store and costs 99cents. Look for the other one: "HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer" It is still free of charge.
Yep. I get a lot of comments saying it costs $0.99... but that is for the searchable one. The one I provide is a link to the OEM version and it's free.
Dude! Thank you so much. I was trying to get iPhone videos to play. I wasn't going to pay $0.99 for crap I can get for free. Thanks again my dude!
Glad I was able to save you a buck! IF you haven't already, would you mind tossing a sub to help me get this info to others who are looking for the solution and link? Thanks for watching and happy editing!
Thanks so much man, definitely worked!!! So glad I can use my videos now
Best of luck and glad I could help out!
