CS5 The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's t

Greetings,
I have been working on a very large project using CS5 on my desktop computer. Now I am on the road and bought a laptop so that I can continue to work. I placed all of my assets on a back-up external 2tb drive (which I was able to open without incident on my desktop). I installed CS5 on my new laptop and now when I try to open the project I get the following message "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)". This message appears before I indicate the path to any of the assets. Then, when I do indicate the path to each asset, I get the same message for individual files.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy

I had this problem and have found a solution / workaround: my issue was when trying to open a cs5 project that had been collected on mac and then transfered to pc, my footage was all png image sequences but this will hopefully work in other situations...
Open the project and cancel the first dialogue box that pops up where you get the "file cannot be linked" error when trying to reconnect footage. The project will open and then in the project panel, right click on any footage that needs reconnected and choose "Replace footage..." this will open a dialog that will allow you to select the file that gave you the error in the first place without any issues. Any sequences with that footage will now work and everything show be all good.
You may experience "Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the offline media graphic" on first export but apparently you can just ingore that, but i guess it's woth testing a few short sections before commiting to a huge render...
This workaround isn't perfect as i had about 50 pieces of footage i had to relink via this method one by one but at least it saved redoing the edit which was critical for my project...
good luck!

CS6 The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's t

I understand there is another posting in this forum with the same error happening on CS5 and their solution had something to do with Quicktime. Mine has nothing to do with this.
I ran into this exact same problem in CS6 and I found that the issue is because I renamed the root project folder. My folder structure is like this:
Drive C:\
-> [root project folder]
-> [folder containing videos]
-> MyProject.prproj
By renaming the root project folder, I was no longer able to open up the project successfully. It would get to certain clips and ask about where the clip was located. Trying to re-link it to the correct file would result in that error (which makes no sense if you think about it).
So my question is, is it intentional that the absolute folder paths are saved into the project file rather than relative paths? Does it not make more sense if paths were saved relative to the root project path? That way the root project folder could be renamed to whatever you want and it would have no effect on the project itself.

Selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type

I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for a couple of years now, and a few months ago I began having problems importing AVI files created from a BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card. (These issues were not previously occurring, and since they surfaced, I have exhausted the various settings for the BlackMagic card, used various software such as BlackMagic's own Media Express as well as the freeware VirtualDub, and still have the following problems.)
In addition, these AVI files play just fine, in their entirety, using Windows Media Player and in Quicktime.
The problem (or possibly two, but I suspect they could be related) is that most of the AVI files I attempt to import will either (1) import all video and NO audio, or (2) import ONLY a short segment of audio and video, and the length that Elements imports varies. Usually only in the range of a minute or two. The rest of the file is not imported at all.
After much digging in forums, and testing various settings in trying to figure out the issue, I decided to back up all of my files and completely wipe all hard drives and start over with a fresh installation of Windows and Premiere Elements 9. I haven't installed much else yet, as I wanted to first find out if the reinstallation improved things with Elements.
For the first project I created in Elements after the reinstallation, Elements successfully imported an entire AVI that was nearly 2 hours long, audio and video. This was a file that previously would not import properly into Elements. This suggested that my earlier installation of Elements must have been corrupted somehow. At this point I was very hopeful that all was well.
I proceeded to edit the video as I had wanted, saved the project, and exported it to an MPEG format file. I had originally wanted to export it as an MOV, but I hadn't yet installed Quicktime, so Elements couldn't do that just yet. The MPEG export was successful and plays fine.
However, I then installed Quicktime, and once it was finished, I restarted the PC and reloaded the same project. This time, Elements claimed the media was offline. I double-clicked on a segment of the video, and directed Elements to the raw file, but then an error message popped up: "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." This was the same file I had JUST edited and of which I created an MPEG.
I tried creating a new project and the "Get Media" function to import the AVI again, but this time only the video imported with NO audio. (This would explain why the error message said what it did, but not why the audio wasn't imported.)
What in the world is going on with Elements??? I am baffled since the ONLY task I have done on this machine after a complete reinstallation of both Windows and Elements is edit one AVI. I find it very hard to believe that just installing Quicktime caused this.
Some info on my system:
System: Asus P6T w/ Intel i7 920 and 12 GB memory
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Video Software: Premiere Elements 9
Capture Card: BlackMagic Intensity Pro (PCI-e)
Capture Software: AVIs recorded with either BlackMagic Media Express or VirtualDub (only prior to the reinstallation, as neither of these programs are currently installed)
I'm getting to the point with Elements that I might need to just abandon it and find something else that is more reliable. Anybody have suggestions to help with this, so I won't have to migrate?

We think that we need to start off with definiting the properties of these .avi files that you are importing into Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 (assumed that you are working for the required 9.0.1 Update).
You say that the "avi" was created from a "BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card". What are the properties of this .avi that you imported into Premiere Elements? Not all .avi are created equal. What is the video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, typical duration?
Based on the properties of the video what have you been setting as the project preset?
Let us start here.
More later.

Need help urgently!! - "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match t

Hey guys... I need your help!! I started a project using Premiere Pro 2 and was 80% when I formatted my computer (all my project files were always saved to a external hard drive). Anyways instead of installing Premiere Pro 2, I installed Premiere Pro Cs3. Problem is whenever I try starting up my project it asks me to link every file used. When I do this it says "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." I took my external harddrive to friend's house who has Premiere Pro 2 and it says the same thing. Why did this happen? Is there anyway around it... Any help would be greatly appreciated, I put over 20 hours into editing this movie... I don't want it all to go to waste.

So I decided to try and 'Edge up' since I was practically at the mark. Seemed to go fine until I select my new device, then I get 'This device does not match the device ID on your original Edge Agreement.'. Odd because I've never switched phones, and i'm

So only a few bucks left for the edge upgrade, decided to edge up since it gave me the option to do so, I figure why not?
Process seems to go fine until i'm in the checkout for a new device.
Tosses 'This device does not match the device ID on your original Edge Agreement. ' at me, but it's really strange because I'm using the phone I got direct from Verizon, haven't switched phones or anything.
Has anyone had this issue before?

Toxicle,
I can understand how something like this can be concerning. Let's work to get to the bottom of this for you. What kind of phone were you Edging up from? Has the phone ever been replaced or removed temporarily? Just want to make sure we are getting all the facts to help with this issue.

I imported a video and when I play it back, the audio does not match the video. When I view the tape in my camera it looks fine. I've tried imported twice and each time it doesn't match. What can I do to fix this?

I imported a video and when I play it back, the audio does not match the video. When I view the tape in my camera it looks fine. I've tried imported twice and each time it doesn't match. What can I do to fix this?

The default settings mostly likely use an audio sample rate of 32k. This doesn't work probably in FCP. You're probably better off capturing the tape in iMovie.

Ocs package does not match the current software components

Hi Experts,
In our SAP ERP 6.0 system few components like SAP APPL,EA APPL ,FinBasis were already upgraded to 603 SP04 long time back.
Now to install language,we need to upgrade all the components to EHP3.The pre requisite to upgrade to EHP3 as per note number 1095233 is SP08.Few of our components are at SP06 level and i downloaded the supported packages of all the components to upgrade to SP08 and then upgrade to EHP3.
When i try to display/define the component ECC-DIMp,i get the eror message message" ocs package does not match the current software componentu201D when trying to apply ECC-DIMPu201D .When i looked at the queue,the SPAM is looking for prerequisites of components EA APPL 600 and SAP APPL 600(This components are already upgraded to 603 level).
Please suggest me the option.
Thanks
satish

Hi,
For your problem, please check SAP note 1083533, please check extract from this note:
If you cannot integrate the required component Support Packages because the import conditions are not met (for example, because you have already installed SAP_APPL 603 although SAP_APPL 600 is the prerequisite), you must update the import conditions. When you try to install EHP3 packages using the EHP installer (EHPI), the following error occurs in SPDA_EHP_INCLUSION.LOG: "OCS package SAPKxxx does not match the current software component vector" Ths system displays the same error message when you try to install packages using transaction SAINT. Proceed as described in Note 1118803.
Solution is documented in the SAP note 1118803.
Thanks

I have added the package IS-UT 602 along with all the support packs that go with the IS-UT 602 component but I am still recieving this error. Would anyone have an idea on how to correct this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I ended up solving the issue with note #1150349. I had to go into transaction SEPS -> INBOX there where several versions of the ACP

delete them all out in SEPS and in the EPS\IN folder. Load teh ACP files from the note which corrected the issue. Thank you again for your help!

CUPC - CTL does not match the configured TFTP servers -- need reset!

Hi,
i have trouble with CUPC 8. Presence 8.0.4. I tested all things, but i'm unable find solution.
Client say: Phone initialization has occured. CTL reset required.[1002]. In the core log from the CUPC is:
provider-runner] [ConfigService] [CUCMConfigSubService.updateCTL(633)] - CTL does not match the configured TFTP servers -- need reset!
but i don't know which CTL, and why CUPC use CTL for accessing tftp. I'm not using secure connection to the CCM.
Solution from release notes:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cupc/8_0/english/release/notes/cupc80.html#wp248810 is not working.
Has anybody some idea?
Risa

Some details for my trouble. Integration from CUPS and CCM from system troubleshooter is ok.
CCM has device type CUSF. But CUPC is not able connect to this softphone. CUPC client show error message from my first post. And in the core log from the CUPC are messages about softphone and downloading configuration file, but tftp connection failed. Log contain messages: Supplied TFTP address 192.168.10.3 is not in the CTL. // CTL does not match the configured TFTP servers -- need reset!
(same situation with hostname of CCM)
From release notes and description of this situation I tried erase old configuration from PC, but nothing change - same trouble.
Has anybody some idea, which CTL is used for authenticate tftp.
Thanks for response.

Error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was

I recently purchased/upgraded from Premiere Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 9 and I cannot open the projects in version 9 that were created with version 5. It shows it as offline. I get a message to open up a file and when I do i receive the error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 2 audio channels. Can someone help me or tell what I am doing wrong? All of my projects that were completed in version 5 cannot be opened up in version 9.
Thank you.

Bill,
I ran G-Spot on one of the files and here it what I have:
DVD "VOB" format
MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
I guess I am really confused. The project that I am trying to open PrE 9 was completed in PrE 3 w/templates , scenes, etc. The movie was burned to a DVD. I cannot understand why I cannot open it with a newer version of PrE. According to G-Spot (I am assuming this is what you mean above), it is already in 2 channels. To me this should be ok. I put many, many hours into these videos and now it seems all for not.
Here is what I did so far:
I uploaded the required media files to a new project in PrE9 and let them index and conform. I saved the project with the same name in a different location. Do I have to do this to the project files and/or the original media files? Confusion starts here.
The next step is where I am confused. I do not know if I am proceeding in the right direction from here. There is the share tab in the upper right hand corner. Is this what you are talking about? I am truly lost from here.
Thanks.

You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

JNI generated header file does not match the class file

We have had a JNI project for many years and all has been fine. Within our libraries we have several classes that have inner enum classes.
Recently we have moved to JDK1.7. Up to now when JNI generated the methods where the signature used the inner enum class, and it was an oveloaded method, we would get something like the following as the signature:
Java_PackageName_ClassName_methodName_OuterClass_00024InnerEnum_2
And the class file result of the build would look like the following:
methodName(OuterClass$InnerEnum)
Since we have moved to JDK 1.7 the header file looks like the following:
Java_PackageName_ClassName_methodName_OuterClasss_InnerEnum_2
The class file is still the same, and because of that when we run the program we get an UnsatisfiedLinkError. I understand that this error is because the VM cannot find the implementation. So why JDK 1.7 generates a header file that does not match the class file?
Thank you in advance.

I don't have 1.6 to verify but your statements about what is generated for 1.7 for the header appear correct.
The 000024 represents the '$' and for 1.7 the inner class is still named using '$'. So for example after compiling in 1.7 the inner class file is named the following...
MyClass$InnerEnum.class
So a one to one conversion should have kept the 000024 (presuming it does in fact do it that way in 1.6.)
You might want to look at the release notes for 1.7.
If you need a solution you could add a post javah step that renames the file.
