Gimp gap error while trying to open files

[jreidsma]

Hi everyone

(I am mainly using my Ubuntu linux chromebook c7 or my windows 7 desktop)

I am trying to make some animated gif's from video files. I made a few but now everytime I try making them I get a "Execution error for procedure 'gimp-file-load': Unknown file type" error window. It does this on every type of movie file I have tried. It does this on my windows seven computer, and my linux computers.

I was just converting the videos online on gifninja but the quality is pretty bad.

I am recording the videos on my windows computer with camstudio so the default is wmv. But on my Ubuntu linux chromebook I have Arista to convert the videos. I have tried mkv, m4v, avi, mp4, webm, mpg, flv, wmv


Any ideas?

Have you tried reinstalling GIMP and GAP with the latest version? Or maybe with a previous version that worked?

Uninstalling GIMP 2.8.2 and reinstalling it with 2.6 or 2.4 GAP did nothing.

Installing GIMP 2.6.7 and trying GAP did the same error

When installing Gap I was putting it to install in the following file for gimp 2.8:

Crogram Files/Gimp 2


On my Ubuntu linux computer it runs GIMP 2.6 and still has the same issue.
