MP4 is Not Recognized by Davinci Resolve, Solved!

MP4 to Davinci Resolve importing problems

1. MP4 video not recognized by Resolve
I just downloaded the free edition of Davinci Resolve 12.5 I've recorded a couple videos and I am able to view each one of them individually on windows movie maker, however, when I try to insert them to Davinci Resolve, the the mp4 files do no appear. There is also and issue that comes up everytime I boot up Davinci Resolve, a window with "Quick Time Decoder initialization failed". Is this the reason that I cannot see my mp4 files? I'd appreciate any help y'all can offer.

2. MP4 no sound resolve 12.3
Resolve 12.3 what an awesome product!!! Love it. Footage H264, AAC, 30FPS, 6 audio channels. I have no sound. Audio shows just one channel but nothing in the file. Thought 12.3 supports MP4. Do I miss a codec? Can I install one? I run the Software on iMac 10.11.3 1024 MB, 12 GB ATI HD.
