Audio recording "failed," need to rescue the AIFF file

I recorded a rather long audio file from the analog audio-in port of my Dual G5 in AIFF format (stereo, 16 bits) using the QuickTime Player. Upon clicking the "Stop Recording" button I got a message dialog "Recording Failed". I copied the file with the Finder before clicking OK, suspecting that QuickTime would delete the file upon clicking OK, which it did do. The copied file is 10.28 GB and contains 11 hr, 35 min, 2 sec of recorded material. Quicktime refuses to open the file, giving me the following message: Alert: QuickTime cannot open the file: "Audio 2 copy.mov" the movie contains an incorrect duration (-2014).
Note that VLC opens the file, knows the exact duration of the audio tracks, and plays it back perfectly fine. I can even jump to different time points to continue playing.
Is there a utility I can use to "repair" the file, so that QuickTime can open it? I hate to discard this file, since it is mostly intact.
Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   3.5 GB DDR SDRAM

Is this dotmac.info bob?
MPEG Streamclip (free) may be able to repair the broken time code.
You could also re-record the file using WireTap. Record while playing the file in VLC. Note: This is "live" recording so it would take a long time. Maybe record in smaller "chunks".

  • Does iTunes match need to locate the actual files or just see its record in your library database? I am currently traveling in US and I have US and Australian iTunes accounts. But all my music files are on a hard drive in Australia.

    Does iTunes match need to locate the actual files or just see its record in your library database? I am currently traveling in US and I have US and Australian iTunes accounts. But all my music files are on a hard drive in Australia. Can I start using itunes music match while I am travelling without the actual music files attached to my itunes?

    In your situation I strongly recommend you read over that KB article. The international iTunes Stores are not cross-compatible.
    My understanding of how it would work is that when activating iTunes Match on your US Store account, any songs you have in your iTunes Library that were purchased from the AUS Store account will NOT be matched. As I understand it, those files will be uploaded (which means you need the files on a local HDD). I also do not think it is possible to have iTunes Match active on more than one store ID on the same computer. But since iTunes Match is not available internationally yet, that point is moot for the moment.
    To be honest you might want to wait until the service is available internationally so you can guage how will it will serve you.

  • The 2 year old fix for changing temp files is no longer valid, I need to change the temp file location in the latest firefox.

    In 3.6.3 I'm unable to find the parent cache to change where the temp files are located. I have an SSD drive, and I need to get the temp file off, and onto my platter drive. I have read the previous fix of about:config and changing the parent cache location, but it no longer seems to be there. I'm unable to locate anything relating to my SSD drive location in about:config.

    Unfortunately, it appears that what I wrote about not being able to find the location IN about:config of the cache to change it from my C: drive to a different location, was mildly misunderstood that I didn't know how to get into about:config.
    The location of browser.cache.disk.parent_directory does not currently exist in 3.6.3. I'm assuming it's under a different location. Also using the simple string of "cache" lists several options, but none of them appear to be where firefox is currently dumping the temp files onto my C:
    I merely need to know how to switch the temp file location from 1 drive, to another. Not downloads, the temp file.

  • Update failed:  Unable to extract the download files (why????), error U44M1210.  What's that ?

    When downloading Premiere Pro CC, in Creative Cloud, I'm getting a message:

    (U44M1210)
    Sometimes it happens when I'm updating extensions.
    Can I directly download and update apps WITHOUT using the Creative Cloud desktop app ?
    Please advice.

    I had the same problem on a Mac (CC update failing with a U44M1210 error.
    . I just finished a chat with an Adobe specialist who walked me through the solution. So I recommend a chat to solve the problem for me (and I suspect all Mac users).
    The Solution essentially this came down to the following:
    Deleting the following:
    OOBE and AAM Updater folders from ~/library/Application Support/Adobe
    OOBE and Adobe Application Manager folders from /Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Reinstalling the Adobe Application Manager.
    Restarting the Creative cloud Application.

  • Audio recording help needed

    Is there a way to record audio from an external firewire device while recording the video from an isight camera? I'm creating online guitar lessons that would benifit greatly from a superior microphone rather than the isight camera mic.

    Jazzer,
    I don't think iMovie can deal with inputs from two different FireWire sources. Even if you try changing the sound input source in iMovie preferences it seems to have no effect.
    Have you tried the iSight microphone?
    I used it to do some voice over recording a while back and was very pleasantly surprised at it's quality.
    Though the problem might be that the best placement for audio is not going to be the best for video.

  • Need to rescue Garage Band Files with Data Rescue II - what kind of files?

    Hi all -
    After a particularly gruesome computer crash, I am trying to reconstruct my lost files using Data Rescue II..... This program goes into the damaged hard drive and downloads all intact files it can find, but it is NOT able to label everything correctly. All it can do is divide things into folders - Audio files, document files, images, mail, misc., and movies. And within these folders are other folders - for instance, in the "Audio" rescued folder, there are hundreds of AIFF files, AIFF1 files, AIFF2, MP3, WAV, m4a, and m4p files.
    My question is: can someone please tell me what the heck a Garage Band project file is? That would save me a lot of time in digging through all this material trying to find one....
    (Don't get me wrong... I'm grateful to have stuff to dig through! I just hope my Garage Band files are intact and recoverable.)
    Has anyone had success saving Garage Band files with Data Rescue II?
    Thanks in advance.

    Aaaagh!
    I spoke too soon. Yes,I did indeed find the file that contained all the files I needed to retrieve (using Disk Rescue II). When my 6-hour download of the 78 GB folder finished, I check the files again, and they weren't located in the orphaned section, but in the Hard Drive section under the normal directory, in a folder called .Trashes - within that there was another folder called "501", which contained all the Garageband files I needed to retrieve. However, when I tried to open the downloaded "rescued" files, they were inside a folder called "Macintosh HD", which could not be opened, and I got a message that said "Could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges." Not only that, but even after 6 hours of (apparently) downloading the 78 GB folder, my hard drive, which had close to 83 GB of free space, said STILL had almost that same amount.
    So did it download anything or not? What was it doing all those 6 hours? I have a file that I can't open, but apparently it's going to be empty anyway.
    Here's the full story, for anyone with the patience to listen and offer advice. It looks like now I'm looking for a way to 1) get the permissions to open the .trashes file so that I can download everything, or 2) figure out a way to get Disk Rescue II to open the files and download them regardless of the permissions.
    Full Story -
    I am pretty sure that my computer crash was caused by working with the newest version of Garageband 08. Ever since buying it and loading it, my computer has been acting funny whenever I use the Garage Band program - I could only record about one in three attempts since the computer kept freezing as soon as I finished recording a line. I would have to use force restart to get going again.
    The day the computer crashed, I was working on a Garage Band project, which kept crashing, and I was also using Finale, Microsoft Word, and iTunes -- all of which are my normal procedure and I'd never had any problems with anything before loading the new Garage Band 08. (See my posts on other discussion topics for more details). After the last freeze, the computer crashed totally and could not be restarted - it would get to the gray screen with the spinning gear and just sit there while the fans ramped up to overload.
    I used Disk Warrior to rescue whatever files I could onto an external hard drive, and I started to download all the Garage Band files. However, the "estimated time to completion" said over 6 hours , so I stopped the download after a minute or so and went on to rescue all the other files that were smaller in size and easier to download - I figured I'd set Disk Warrior to download the whole 78 GB set of Garage Band files overnight while I slept. But....when I went back to begin the download again, I noticed that the directory of Garage Band files went only to the letter "C" instead of all the way to "Z" like my original files had done during that earlier attempt to download. I am assuming that somehow, the directory for the files I download before aborting the attempt (A-C) got exchanged with the directories of the original version (A-Z), but the original directory was no where to be found.
    I decided to try an archive install in the hopes that I could just restart my computer and get the files out by hand. The archive install went fine, and the computer started up fine and got to the log-in screen, which had changed. I now had two blanks - one for user name and one for password, instead of the choices of names. I tried all my user names and passwords, and asked my wife for her names and passcodes, but nothing worked. The computer had apparently re-set all its permissions and User accounts. I tried using Disk Utility to reset the password in its opening screens, but instead of getting several User options, the only one it allowed me to attempt was "System Administrator (root)", and even that wouldn't let me in to change any passwords.
    That's when I downloaded Data Rescue II, which does seem to do a good job of locating lost files. However, since I didn't have permissions to open the computer the last time, I am still apparently facing the same thing when I try to access files copies OFF the computer.
    So I'm not out of the woods yet. I can see the files on the Data Rescue screen, but I don't know whether they have permissions tied to them or not, and if they do, whether the system would let me since I don't know what the passwords and user names have defaulted back to.
    Any advice? Please?
