Scenario
When I try to add my video files to CaseGuard I receive an error message that says “Convert to standard format failed.” This issue is caused by this file not being supported by CaseGuard. Converting the file to a supported file format may fix the issue. Please also see How to troubleshoot adding files to CaseGuard.
