Apparerently, this file may have gone corrupt, or something's amiss with the codecs on your system, or your GPU needs updating.
Either transcode the file, update your GPU or re-install your codecs.

Examine the file with MediaInfo.
It will reveal which codec is wrapped inside that MP4 file format.

What is the solution? I am having the same issue with video with a 0 byte using my Canon R5 (mp4) file type. I am getting the "unsupported compression type" error when trying to import into Premire Pro. I have tried deleting my cache, moving the file to a new folder, changing the file extension, and nothing as worked.
