Yup, Quicktimes the culprit. I just reinstalled OS (Win7 Ult 64 bit), thought I had installed all my regular files, couldn't wait to get to beats. Opened up Live, couldn't get the vocals of this remix I was doing started. The vocals source was an mp3 but I saved a wav of it, I thought. Still wasn't til i came here and found the quicktime solution that I tried it and sure enough that was it.
A side note, the error msg is based on the mp3 but I recorded the vocals as wav, the referenced mp3 file was deleted! Why does this still happen?
DirectShow error message
Re: DirectShow error message
What messed up my system was installing the LAME codec for another piece of software, Audacity. I had to uninstall that, then I installed Quicktime and everything is back to working 100%

Hooray! quicktime solution worked!
