OSX Mavericks & QT Error Message: Movie contains an incorrect time value

Ever since I upgraded, I can not edit my QTime movies in Quicktime Player 7.  I keep getting
Error Message: Movie contains an incorrect time value
All the fixes I have read from the past blogs are not working.
Is there a fix? If not, what editing software do I need to start using that is as easy as Quicktime 7 was?

I figured out a work around, I trim the selection I want, then export to a MOV file with same settings (I have tried H264 and ProRes compression). I can then open that file to copy and paste.
What a pain - I hope apple can update this issue somehow.

  • "The movie contains an incorrect time value" error - saving a trimmed video

    I am attempting to trim a video shot on my Samsung CL65. The video was shot in High Quality HD 1280 x 720. I open the video in QuickTime and then use the Trim command to remove the last part of the video and then close it to Save it. When I save it I get the following error: "The document SAM_0306.MP4 could not be saved as "SAM_0306". The movie contains an incorrect time value." I think this has to do with an encoding error in the original file or in the trimmed file but I have no idea how to get around it.
    Any ideas?

    This info probably won't help with your problem, but it's information for others who get this error.
    It's probably the software that made the MP4. ffmpegX, for example, and the mencoder program inside it, do this with every H264 encoding when the video is longer than 1 hour. Time codes are correct up to 1 hour, then the seconds value gets wacky (3600 is added to it). Quicktime won't save a movie with a time code like 1:20:3623.120 (although it will correctly display 1:20:23 in the player).
    Apple used to offer quicktime scripts that would allow you to see what the time code in a stream really looked like. Applescript appears to have officially and quietly gone missing, though, and those scripts are no longer available online as far as I can tell. There were some really handy other scripts that would allow you to view all sorts of movie properties and manipulate tracks (great for syncing poorly synced sound, for example), but time code problems like the above would invariably mean the movie couldn't be saved.

  • When exporting: Error -2014 "the movie contains an incorrect duration"

    My end goal is to be able to edit .FLV files in iMovie, so I need to convert them to a usable format. I already have QT Pro, so it's the first thing I tried.
    I have Perian, so the .FLV files play with no issues, but when I try to export them to something usable in iMovie, it makes it to the end of the export process and gives the following error:
    "The movie contains an incorrect duration -2014"
    Has anyone had this issue? Are there any known fixes?

    Select an in and out point other than the very start and end (usually a good idea anyway as there is often a bunch of junk you don't need there) and then do edit trim to selection and then save as. Once in a MOV container try exporting.
    You might also try to select, copy , paste in a new player window and then save as, that new one and export from it after saving as.

  • T4i Rebel error message "movie recording has stopped automatically"

    I was recording my client when suddenly I got a this error message "movie recording has stopped automatically" and I could not record video anymore. I am recording on a class 10 sandisk Ultra card. 720/60, EFS18-135mm lens. Never had any problems in the past. First I get a small veterical meter on the frame and then after 5 secs the recording stops with this error message. Please tell me it is opeartor error...I have had this camera for 2 years now and never had a problem. I tried multiple cards.
    thanks for the help,
    DM

    Either you or the person you spoke to at Canon was confused.
    What the camera requires for video purposes is a card which is "at least" Class 6 or faster.  The class designation is an indicator of the cards data transfer speed.  Class 6 actually means the card is capable of transfering data (either reading or writing) at "at least" 6 megabytes per second.  A Class 10 card can transfer data at "at least" 10 megabytes per second.
    The T4i is also compatible with "UHS-1" cards... which are significantly faster than eithe Class 6 or 10.
    The reason for requiring "at least" Class 6 has to do with how fast the camera is attempting to capture and save frames of video to the card.  The camera actually has an internal memory buffer which is very fast.  When you start recording, the data is being saved to that buffer... and simultaneously the camera also starts taking the data from the buffer and saving it to the memory card (which is slower).  If the camera is recording video only slightly faster than the card can record, then it will actually take a few minutes before the buffer is completely filled.  But at that point the camera has no choice but to stop recording because it has absolutely no place to save data ... the internal buffer is full and it can't empty the buffer because the memory card can't save data as fast as new frames of video are coming in.
    Faster is always better.
    Memory cards do actually wear out and develop errors over time.  This is normal.  A good card will re-map the bad blocks so they aren't used anymore... and this is why you should do a low-level format IN CAMERA (not using the computer).  Good cards also have a "memory leveling" technology to try to use all the blocks roughly an equal number amount.   This extends the userful life of the card.
    When replacing the card, do not skimp on quality!  I cannot emphasize that point enough.  Most times when someone brings up this issue... it's the card that is having problems and not the camera.   
    It's easy to produce forgery cards which look like a good brand but are not.  Buy GOOD cards from REPUTABLE dealers.  Do not shop for the cheapest website on the Internet with a questionable reputation in order to save a couple of bucks.
    Lexar brand and SanDisk brand are good. 
    When buying memory cards, I only buy cards from Lexar and SanDisk.  I also buy their highest end cards (by speed performance... not necessarily their biggest capactiy cards).  I buy the cards from dealers with a solid reputation.  This avoids the unpleasant error messages which always seem to happen at the worst possible time.

  • Firefox crashes with error message: "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working"

    When I open Firefox it seems to be working fine for one minute, then everything freezes and I receive the following error message:
    "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working
    --> Check online for a solution and close the program
    --> Close the Program"
    Neither option restores Firefox and I'm left with a frozen (white blurry Not Responding) screen. When I click on the X button, then I get the regular "Firefox is not responding" message and the whole program just shuts down.
    Should I disable all plugins and / or this plugin container? How can I do that, if Firefox keeps crashing?
    Basically, how can I fix this? Thanks a lot!

    I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
    It appears this forum is dead?!
    Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...

  • Receiving the error message while executing the Real Time DTP

    Hi,
    I am receiving the error message while executing the Real time DTP for Billing data.
    Error Message - Record filtered in advance as error records with the same key exist     RSM2     722
    When I check the logs below is the message I am able to see. Can someone suggest as how to proceed further.
    Diagnosis
    The existing DTP requires a serialized update because fields are updated
    non-commutatively during the processing run (for example, MOVE).
    Therefore all new data records that have the same semantic key as
    incorrect records that have not yet been corrected in earlier requests
    or earlier data packages of the same request, are filtered out after the
    extraction in a special step. In this way the system ensures that
    incorrect data records are not repeated for your changes, which may not
    contain errors themselves.
    System Response
    The data record is not updated but is written to an error stack.
    Procedure
    Procedure
    Correct all incorrect data records and update them using an error DTP.
    Procedure for System Administration
    I checked the error stack and corrected the entries and let me know as how to proceed further. I am unable to execute the Error DTP as its not allowing me to edit and has only display options.

    Ram

  • Error message when backing up with time on external hard drive

    I'm running 10.6.8 OSX & wondering why I get an error message when backing up with time machine onto an external hard drive. Please help! Error message states time machine could not back up & to try again later.

    Says "The back up was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.
    "The problem may be temoporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair back up disk."

  • How to stop an error message that pops up every time I open Safari. It reads...Safari 5.1 (v6534.50) has not been tested with the plugin PithHelmet .As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer.

    How do I stop this error message from popping up every time I start up Safari ?
    Error message reads...
    Safari 5.1 (v6534.50) has not been tested with the plugin Pithhelmet 3.0b6 (v 3006)
    As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer.
    I have removed every trace of Pithhelmet, (via spotlight)
    Trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer to no avail.
    It just  keeps keepin on.
    Thanks

    In the past I was able to bypass the message by editing the Info.plist file and updating the MaxBundleVersion variable, but not so this time around. As of today the developer seems to indicate there's no immediate fix becuase of how Safari 5.1 handles multiprocess page rendering. Probably best to stay tuned to Mike's website for now.

  • Error Message: "The parameter is incorrect" when trying to modify SSLs

    Like I wrote in my subject line, RoboHelp pop-ups the error message “The Parameter is incorrect” when I try to modify any SSL.
    What happens next, is that the “Print Document General” window opens, but does not allow me to select anything (the fields are blank).
    If I close the window and open it again, it seems to work until I have to select the styles from our Microsoft Word Template.
    Then the error message “The parameter is incorrect” appears again, and RoboHelp does not allow me to select anything but a stylesheet
    (which is not what I need).
    This is very strange, because not only  until recently I was able to build Word documents and PDFs, but also my colleagues are able to
    produce them out of my source.
    Even the old projects, that I was able to build, now I cannot.
    I do not have any problem in generating CHMs.
    Until now I have tried everything I found in the forum:
    I deleted the PSS file (also following the advice in your snippet number 14 from 10 – RoboHelp HTML –Features and Use).
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/120022
    I reinstalled RoboHelp and the Adobe Technical Communication Suite (I also used CCleaner to delete the registries).
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/598335
    I gave Administrator rights to all users in my computer (what seemed to work for some SSLs, but not for all)
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/870339
    I am also looking at all programs that I installed since the last time I was able to build .docs in case there is a conflict, but I do not find anything!
    My computer has Windows 7 installed and I use the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.5, with RoboHelp 9.
    My Microsoft Office is 2010.
    Can somebody please help me? Did someone have the same problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    I know you said you reinstalled, but did you reinstall before or after you gave administrator rights to all users on your computer? And how many users *ARE* on your computer?
    Often you need administrator rights to properly install things.

  • Error message " the field has no defined values

    Hi friends,
       I have declared a field 'GV_total' for totals in global declaration and also in currency fields.
    I have calculated the total in the program lines into this variable 'GV_total' and displaying this variable GV_total in the text element.
    I have activated the smartform and run the print program, it is displaying the total currectly in the output.
    Now the issue is, when I activate the smartform it is diplaying error message like "GV_total has no defined values".
    how to rectify this error.
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sathish

    Hi,
    It is just a warning, you can avoid this by specifying a Value(say 0) while declaring the variable in Global definitions.

  • CS4 won't open images w/Mavericks; no error message, just no image. Anyone else?

    I got a message from Apple a couple of weeks ago to "download Mavericks for free!" and figured, why not? What I didn't anticipate was that my Photoshop CS4 would stop working immediately afterwards, a fact that has disrupted my work and caused big problems for me. Not happy.
    I can open the Raw preview screen but when I click to open the image from there, nothing. No image. Yet when I go to shut down Photoshop, it asks me if I want to save the file. Which I can't see! Even jpgs will not open.
    The guy at the Genius Bar ran diagnostics on my computer and all was fine. Told me to uninstall then reinstall Photoshop, but that didn't fix it. He said if I wanted to downgrade back down to Lion, I'd have to have my entire compture wiped clean. NOT a good solution. So...
    I called Adobe. The fellow there didn't have an answer for me either; also suggested doing an uninstall/install. Told him that didn't help. He said he had no suggestions other than to buy CS6. So...
    I've been perusing forums and chat rooms and not finding anything that matches my particular problem. Unlike other users on CS4/Mavericks threads, I don't get an error message regarding licensing and I did download the newer Java (per a prompt after initially downloading Mavericks). At this point I'm assuming CS 4 just doesn't work with Mavericks (I have a 2-year-old MacBook Pro) and I'm really annoyed. Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have downloaded Mavericks; my computer was working just fine and right now I can't afford new software. So...
    Anyone have any suggestions for making CS4 work when the licensing error ISN'T being triggered?

    Eustace: thanks for your response.
    I trashed the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist, as instructed, then tried to open a file. I was so excited because it opened! Then - to check - I closed Photoshop, opened it up again, tried again and.... nothing. Back to the invisible files. Grrrr.
    I notice there is also a com.adobe.Photoshop.plist.lockfile. Should I trash that as well?
