Stee,
Done. I think I see what is wrong - it does not like my file extension. How do I fix that

Steve,
With the MOV files extension, it said FileExtension_Invalid:dv dif

So I changed it back to DV and here is the result:

Unfortunately, I don't see a thing in this report that would indicate problems with this file. It's a perfect DV file, and it should work flawlessly in Premiere Elements.

BTW, do you have Quicktime 7 installed? If not, it might be worth installing it to see if it makes any difference -- since your file may have Quicktime elements in it.

Once you install Quicktime 7, you can browse into your Program Files (x86)/Quicktime folder and change QuicktimePlayer.exe to QuicktimePlayer.old -- just so Quicktime Player's vulnerabilities won't be exposed. It's the other components you need.

Steve, shows how many levels of complexity this stuff can have. I am currently running Quick time Version 10.4 on my MacBook.
I am still able to make some adjustments to the lighting, temperature, tint, etc. But I've seen what the Smart Fix can do and these old videos need all of the help I can give them. Thanks for reviewing my issue.

Oh, you're on a Mac! That's pretty relevant!

May I suggest that you add your computer's technical specs as a signature (under User Control Panel, at the top of this forum). That way, whenever you have a question, we won't have to ask what your computer's configuration is or make mistakes in assumption.

Technical specs added. Sorry for the omission as it is very important.

Something you might consider is simply convertng your .dv files to .avi using a converter program. One of my favorites is "Handbrake". I've been able to convert just about everything with it, and the quality is outstanding. However, I've never had to convert a .dv file before. Might be worth a shot. https://handbrake.fr/
