Can't rename MP4 files

I can't rename MP4 files. Warnings says that I don't have permission. I have no problem changing any of my other  files that I want to rename.

Thanks but I've tried all of the common methods of renaming a locked  file. Read/write permission doesn't unlock the file.  This is happening only a particular set of mp 4 files that I down loaded from my road warrior dash cam.
I' ll have to keep searching for solution.  Thanks again.

  • Can We rename BAD File name in SQL Loader

    Hi All,
    Can we rename BAD File name in SQL loader?
    If yes, how?
    Thanks in Advance,
    S

    Hi,
    You can rename the bad file before running SQL*Loader, or specify the name of the bad file using the BADFILE clause followed by a filename. If you do not specify a name for the bad file, the name defaults to the name of the datafile with an extension or file type of .bad

    mp4 is a container, no 'format'.
    could contain HDef too (Streamclip should convert to QT/AppleInterediateCodec) 
    could be imported to iM without conversion
    could be handled instantly with usage of perian.org plug-in
    could not be handled on MacOs anyhow ...
    .. depends on, what's inside the mp4 ............

  • How can I import MP4-files in FCPX?

    How can I import MP4-files in FCPX? Should i convert the files? Do you know good (free) software?
    Thanks!

    MPEG-4 isn't nearly enough information. There are many other factors that determine whether it will work in FCP. Many MPEG-4 files can be imported and optimized directly into the application.

  • Can't rename a file using File.renameTo(...)

    Hi,
    I have a servlet, RenameFile, that receives audio file via HTTP Post and writes it to /tmp/recording.0002002B-0C0022BB-0001.1.20050622.073208.wav. Then it creates directories under /alert_messages directory based on the timing parameters that it get. Finally, it renames /tmp/recording.0002002B-0C0022BB-0001.1.20050622.073208.wav to /alert_messages/2005/06/22/22/00/79_0_200506222200_001.WAV. RenameFile runs fine when it runs by itself (ONLY one Tomcat, jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30, is running). However, RenameFile fails to rename the /tmp/recording.0002002B-0C0022BB-0001.1.20050622.073208.wav to /alert_messages/2005/06/22/22/00/79_0_200506222200_001.WAV when it runs in a Linux box that jboss-3.2.1_tomcat-4.1.24 is also running. In this box, TWO versions of Tomcat are running at the same time. I set the /alert_messages directory with �chmod �R 777� and run jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30 as tomcat user. RenameFile fails the rename operation. But, it creates the /alert_messages/2005/06/22/22/00/ directories.
    It seem like RenameFile can create directory but can�t create file in the /alert_messages directory when both version of tomcats are running at the same time.
    Can it be due to both the jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30 and the jboss-3.2.1_tomcat-4.1.24 versions are running at the same time in one Linux box?
    Can this be Jboss prevented the operation?
    I did not receive any io exception!!!
    Any help in this issue is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Thank you for replying to my message. The servlet has been running for me for the last 12 months. However, it was running by itself without the Jboss-tomcat running on the same box. Can this be the catalina.policy file in the jboss-tomcat version restricted the rename operation. We are not allowed to write file under the umbrella of J2EE. But the servlet did not run within Jboss-tomcat. This really gets me thinking that something is not working correctly. Perhaps tomcat did not has the permission to write on the /alert_messages directory, again it did created the subdirectories under the /alert_messages.
    Any idea of what is going on?

  • Can't RENAME a file like Windows can?

    Real easy. I just need to rename a file from this:
    A2Capital.jpg
    to this:
    a2capital.jpg
    I do this in Windows and of course every OS I have used since the 1990s at least. Why can't this be done in OS X 10.4.9?
    I am on a network drive of a Windows Server, if that makes a difference. The error I always get is
    The name a2capital with extension ".jpg" is already taken. Please choose a different name.
    Oh, come on. This is an easy one, right?
    It happens whether I click the filename or if I Show Info.
    Mac Pro Quad 3.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9) I usually run Windows XP

    OS X's filesystem, HFS+, is case-preserving, meaning
    it stores the upper and lowercase characters of
    file/folder names, however it's not case-sensitive
    (unless you specify it as such when formatting the
    disk in Disk Utility). In a case-preserving
    filesystem, MyFile, mYfILE, myfile, and MYFILE all
    reference the same file. There is no need to be rude
    to Kappy, he was just trying to help. Here's some
    reading if you want to learn more:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFS_Plus
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_filesystem
    s#fn_35
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case-preserving
    Note: HFSX in 10.3 added the ability to format a disk
    as Case-Sensitive. If you didn't reformat your disk
    when you got your Mac, it's Case-Preserving, not
    Case-Sensitive.
    I see what you mean by case sensitive. I think Macs and Windows are similar in this regard. All that means is that if I type in a command to run, or I type a filename to launch, the OS is forgiving if I say "BLaH.JpG" for a file that is really "blah.JPG" -- if it's on the hard drive like that already.
    You bet. But in both Mac and Windows it seems, I can rename the file to whatever mixed case I want and get no errors.
    I only have this problem on the network drive,
    which like I said is a Windows 2003 Server share.
    Because your question is in the context of renaming a
    file on a remote Windows share, then all the talk of
    whether HFS is case-sensitive or not doesn't matter.
    I'm assuming the share you're connected to when
    trying to do this rename is NTFS? Macs use Samba to
    connect to Windows shares. I've never tried to do
    what you're doing through a samba share. It could be
    Samba, or it could be how you have your share set up.
    It does look like a Samba idiosyncrasy. I have used Samba before in FreeBSD (a relative to Darwin/OS X) but I would have no idea if that was the case there.
    Samba has traditionally had some oddities, bugs, and problems due to the nature of open-sourcing a Windows custom secret network system. But Macs do claim to be interoperable with other networks and systems. This can't be unusual. Lots of people need to connect to a Windows share.
    Ha, to be honest, I don't think I would even try to setup a NFS share on the Windows server, and there aren't any UNIX servers at this location.
    Who heads up the Samba stuff for Mac OS?

  • Can you insert mp4 files in Captivate 5?

    Folks
    I really need to use mp4 files in captivate 5 as the quality of these surpasses flv files.  We do not have licences for Captivate 6 so can't use that.  Any advice would help tremendously.
    Roz Faulkner

    Hello Roz,
    Only way is to convert them as FLV and use them. Can you convert them to FLV using Adobe Media Encoder? That usually retains the quality, there are many presets as well that you can use.
    Thanks,

  • My N73 can't play MP4 file

    Hi,
    I'm using N73 now,just bought it. When I tried to play a MP4 file by using RealOne, it promted "unable to play media file". However, when I move the memory card to another N73, it played well.
    My version is V 2.06.... I know there is higher version V 3.0... but I dont think it must be upgraded to play MP4 file.
    Can any one help me please.
    Thx alot

    Btw, the other 2 n73 phones that you used to play the video must have a new firmware, yours is too old!!
    You mean the latest FW lets N73 to play DIVX video files without installing any 3rd party software like smartmovie?

  • Can't rename important file!

    Hi everybody
    well, I have quite an extraordinary situation here.
    Today morning I created an iStopMotion file (.mov) and renamed it, to my misfortune, with a VERY long name. The file's only copy is on my external drive (unfortunately FAT 32). If I now want to select the file, it simply just disappears (and only reappears if I restart the Finder). Hence, I can not rename it and therefor use it. It's a very important school file and I can not reproduce the file, I HAVE to rename it and be able to use it/convert it. How can I do that without losing the file or anything similar to that? I don't mind if the solution is very long, as long as it works I'm fine with it.
    Please help me!
    Thank you in advance.

    Can you open the file using the application's menu open command, then save it with a different name?
    Open the application with which you created the file. In the application menu go to File > Open and try opening the file. Then save it with a different name.
    You can also try the move (mv) command in Terminal:
    Open Terminal in your applications > utilities folder.
    Type in mv with a space after it. Do not press return yet.
    Drag the problem file to the Terminal window. This should result in the file with the directory path being entered in the window after the mv+space. Do not press return yet.
    Enter another space. Now type a new name for the file. In order to make things easy we are going to have the file go to your Home folder on your main drive.
    Now press return. This should move the file from the old place to the new place with a new name.
    If you do not want to risk erasing the first file while creating the second in case something goes wrong, use the copy "cp" command instead of the move "mv".

  • Can't stream MP4-file

    Hi!
    I am trying to stream a MP4-file from the VOD-folder using the videoplayer in flash. I can play the sample-file without any trouble, but when i try to use iceage.mp4 as source, it don't find the stream. (RTMP://192.168.1.44/vod/mp4:iceage.mp4)

    i have the same issue on FMS
    I'm using as2 because my player is loaded in another swf written in as2.
    I can load flv files and stream them correctly
    ns.play(file);
    i've tried with:
    var file:String = "mp4:lezione1.mp4";
    var file:String = "mp4:lezione1";
    var file:String = "lezione1.mp4";
    var file:String = "lezione1";
    none of them works. I have no response from FMS

  • [Solved]Can I rename a file just by knowing its inode

    Hi!
    I have some files/directories with very weired characters in the filename.
    So, I was unable to rename them to something that is accessible by its filename.
    However, I can see their inode.
    Is there anyway that I can rename a file just by using its inode?
    thx

    I need to do this on a embedded busybox environment, so the 'find' utility does not has a feature of -inode.
    However, I achieved my goal by doing the following:
    1. Figure out the inode of a file/directory by
    ls -i
    2. Use a variable to save the filename which cannot by typed in due to weired characters
    xyz=`ls -i|grep 705|sed 's/48840705 //'`
    3. Rename by
    mv "$xyz" filename_I_want

    Depending on how new you are to FCP and like youtube, this is very short and sweet.

    You import the new files to your FCP project from the location you told compressor to save them.

  • Can't play .mp4 files anymore

    This has nothing to do with an iphone, and ipod or an ipad. My Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.2 will not open or play .mp4 files any longer.
    I've tried opening it in quickview and it shows up as a black screen that never plays.
    It does the same when i open it with Quicktime X.
    If i try opening with Quicktime Pro 7, it says 'The movie contains some invalid data' 'The movie could not be opened'.
    someone please help me, i don't know what's going on, and i'm a video editor, so i need to be able to work with these files like i have been for the last few years

    i can dropbox it to you. it's about 107MB
    and i don't restart the computer. i shut it down completely and i've tried pressing down Command R and the power button all at once and holding Command R down after letting go of the power button
    i've also tried holding down command and r and while they are pressed down, then i press the power button.
    none of these tedious combinations have worked.
    what's your email and i can send you the file once i have it up on drop box.
