Are you using the right file type? Or maybe are the files too big?

i been encoding them in vp61 but i hear only the audio, and many of my movies are less than 50MB. but i been trying to play the Steam Ulitilmate version. and maybe its something in the steam version with Win 11

Hmm, not sure about vp61. I double checked the files I use for custom tv shows and they are all in .avi so I would try making sure that videos are in that format and try again.
