Can't open .mov video file

I have a .mov file make with final cut on a mac with the Mjpeg A compressor , I try to open the file with my quicktime 7.4.1 on my PC , the error 2048 appears: "is not a valid file format " . I try with VLC , and give me another bad message " MP4 plug in discarded (No Noov box) ". I open the advanced tab on my quicktime and check that the "legacy codecs " is available , then y try to rename the file putting the .mov extension manually , bad results too . The most strange thing is that when I open the file on a mac system it works perfectly.

Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

Can I open PSD Video files in premiere elements 12?

I have Photoshop CS6 and would like to purchase a video editing software. My question is if I purchase Premiere Elements 12, will I be able to open PSD video files from photoshop in the Premiere Elements?

Ps CS 6 (and the Extended version back to CS 4) can edit Video (limited Import capabilities, and limited Export capabilities). However, Ps will NOT Export any Video as a PSD. The PSD format is the Ps native Image format, and is output via Save.
My *assumption* was that the PSD was a Still Image, that was perhaps going to be animated in Video via Keyframing the Fixed Effects, such as Motion>Position, over time, as there is no PSD Video. Perhaps my assumption was incorrect, as to what the OP has, and wishes.
In Ps CS 6, Video output will be to a standard Video format/CODEC, but the list of available formats/CODEC's is very limited, compared to Premiere.
Maybe I am just misunderstanding what the OP is looking to do?

How can I Import *.Mov video files into LightRoom 5.3 ?

Can't open a video file after Final cut export

Very strange issue which getting me nuts.
I've FCP 7 on Lion.
I'm finishing a project and export it as it is on an external hard drive for back up.
I've got a .MOV file.
After that I'm making an other folder and export all the working file from FCP.
End of the story.
Later I want to open the Quic time video file... and then I've got an error message telling me that QT is looking for data of the video file "xyz-FIN-0000000e"
There is only a STOP button.
If I press it I've got a new error message telling me :
The file "xyz-FIN-0000000e" can't be found. Without it the video can't be play correctly"
(I'm translating the message from my french system)
So I can find sometimes the files is asking from the other folder (the FCP back up files) and then it open it...).
But WHY does the video file needs reference files ?
It was an export and I ask the exporter to make a self movie...
Realy I don't understand what's wrong.
Any cue ?
Thanks !
Jean do

Is this a Final Cut Pro .mov file. If it is it would open with FCP. Are you sure you saved with "self contained" checked. I seem to remember someone with a problem like this.
I think in the future you need to open your exported self contained FCP.mov files with quicktime Player and change the "open with" to quicktime player.

Can't open my video files on PC computers

Hi, may be it was already discussed here but I couldn't find a topic.
I made a page in iWeb that includes a few video files (saved as .mov and .wmv). When I open this published web page on my Mac - everything seems to be fine, but PC (Windows) users can't run these videos on their computers.
Does anybody know what encoding should be to solve this problem?
thank you,
Vlad

Thank you,
All PC computers that can't see video files have
QuickTime 7 installed.
I tried to save video in flash format too but it
made
my files bigger and quality worse besides I can't
control video on the web page because it starts
over
and over again. I can't stop or pause.
May be I should try to change code on every page
like
they recommend here:
http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media
/streaming/
but it'll be painful...
Vlad
Vlad Here is a SUPER SIMPLE solution for your dilema
You need to make a non-movie page, any will do. Start
your movie and take a photo of it with shift-apple-4.
This will give you an image of the movie and also the
Windows Media Player frame. Place this image on your
page, give it a title etc and make sure the image is
selected. Using the inspector, chose Link to File.
When you do this, navigate to the wmv file that
corresponds. When you upload your site, that file
will be stored along with it and when the link is hit
the wmv movie will launch in the windows media player
automatically for your PC friends.
Hope that helps
PS to last post if you have a program like "cleaner" your encoding should be
Windows Media >NTSC> 256K Streaming> 320X240> 30 fps that should result in about 1 Megabyte per minute of video with an "ok" quality if you want a better quality move up to "small" or medium" download will result in bigger files but better quality play with it till you are happy with the result.

Can't open any video files anymore

Had no issues and then suddenly any video file that I bring in won't show up but instead I get a grey box with a red and green arrow. If I double click I get a box to find the file again but even if I point to the file again it dosn't show up. If I try to drag and drop on the timeline i get a message that it can't find the file even though the file exists and will open in Windows, Quicktime, etc.

A previous poster with a Toshiba posted how he installed a generic driver. If I recall it was
Uninstall the graphics driver.
Remove the display driver from Device Manager.
Reboot declining prompts to install a driver.
Run the generic installer program.
I'll see if I can find the original post, I had it in my clipboard manager but that has the unfortunate habit of killing off its database every few months

IPod can't load .mov video files

Just bought a 30G iPod video and it only accepts .mp4 video files. I have several videos in .mov format that I have created using iMovie. They are accepted by iTunes but don't appear in my iPod after an update. Supposedly the new iPod is compatible with .mov formats (?) As I said, I used iMovie to create my videos ("shared" them for Web posting) and have not used any 3rd party software. Can somebody please give me a hint on how to proceed? I tried converting the .mov files to .mp4, but the video quality suffers significantly.
Thanks in advance!

Do a search of Apple KB Docu in the Support area for iPod 5G/video and also here at the posts, there are tons of answers to your query.
No the iPod video will not play .mov files, iTunes will play any format of QT movie as long as you have the necessary codecs stored in your mac. iPod will play 2 formats, the MP4 format and the H.264 format. See this link
If you have QT Pro, you can use it to re-export your current movies to iPod-compatible/playable videos, inside QT Pro there is already additional pre-sets for you to choose.

Can't open my video files from my camera/SD card with sound into premiere pro or any software. HELP!

I am on an OS X 10.7.5 and whenever I pug in either my Panasonic HC-V720 or the SD card I can't seem to find the private video file, I get folders like the picture bellow instead.
I have tried in a different computer running a newer version of OS X and the private file appears instead. I can't seem to get my videos up on premiere pro CS6 with the sound I only get the image/video by importing the .mts files.
Does anyone know what to do?

YYou should be asking these questions on the Adobe forums.

ITunes 11 won't import .mov video files from external hard drive but will from internal.

Hi Everyone
I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
Many Thanks
Dave

This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again.

Can't open mov files on my ipad

Since one of the last IOS updates, I can't open Mov files sent from my own IPhone via email.
I have had a new ipad swapped under warranty, and have reloaded all software from scratch.
When I get the email with the video file. The file is an attachment, I click the file, it downloads, then when I click it to view the video I get a white screen with the file name in the middle and the words quick time movie. And nothing happens

You should download VLC and try viewing the .mov file with it - for troubleshooting.

Can't open movie files in browser or email

Hi, I'm not sure if this issue has been dealt with yet; however, I can't open movie files contained in emails or in my Safari Browser--even ones labeled as QT files. I am running Quick Time 7.0.4 on my 10.3.9 eMac. This is a recent problem, as I didn't have this difficulty until the last month or so. I had unchecked the "Open Safe Files" box in Safari's preferences some time ago as a precaution against a virus/worm, but rechecked it after the last one or two Security Updates. What else should I do to resume opening movie files? QT Player runs just fine with movie trailers, etc, but not in mails or the browser.
eMac, iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1 Ghz G4, 768 mb ram

Under the Safari Help menu choose "Installed Plug-ins". This will confirm your QuickTime install.
Under Safari Preferences/Security make sure you've got plug-ins enabled.
Try dragging the email attachment to the Desktop and see if it plays from there.

Can't open movie files

I downloaded windows media for mac and I still can't open movie files. When I click open a error window pops up saying "the file is not a movie file." That's crap I can open the files on my pc but not on my mac. By the way the files are on a external hard drive western digital my book. Is there some way I can convert the files to play on quicktime? Any kind of ideas would be helpful.

My MacBook Pro gets really hot when I open a video file of any kind and the video starts lagging and the image fades away, also with anything that starts the fan. Is extremely hot on the left upper corner. Is there something I can do about it?
