Cannot open corrupted .mov file - error 2048 unsupported format

Hi all,
I have an important corrupted video file and I have tried every way I can think of to open it, but to no avail...
When I open it with Quicktime, an "error 2048 unsupported format" shows up, even though other videos I took are fine.
I can't open this video with ANY softwares including VLC and friends (trust me, I tried LOADS of them)..
After doing MUCH research I understand that either the header/closing part of the file is messed up.
Is anyone able to teach me how to fix those parts?
I'm really at the end of my wits and I'm a just beginner to hex-editing @.@ Better still, if you are able to take a look at this video for me...
I'll be very glad if anyone can help me out with this as I really wish to recover the video, this is for an important friend, thanks in advance!
P.s. the video is about 120mb in size

Hi
Im using the tool called SUPER.
Its free and you can convert any file format to any other file format
Maybe it would be possible to convert his faulty file to another format and ten you could try to open it again using VLC player or other application.

Can't open Quicktime .mov file (Error -2048)

I can't open and run an 11mb QuickTime .mov file that was created, I'm pretty sure, on a Mac. I'm using a PC running QuickTime 7.2. Colleagues using PCs with QuickTime 7.0 and 7.1 can't run it either. The guy who created the file apparently has no problem running it on a Mac. My full error measage is "Error -2048: Coundn't open the file because it is not a file that QuickTime understands". Any ideas anyone?

Ask the guy that made the file what codecs are used in it. Mac users can open, save and edit .wmv files and he may have put one inside a .mov container. It will never play on a PC unless saved as .wmv extension.

I cannot open my .mov file in Quicktime ... It says error mid "conversion"

I have a 1.34 GB .MOV File and when I try to open it in Quicktime is says "converting" than an error message pops up and says :
QuickTime Player can't open "FANTASY_TEST_DRIVE_REV_GENERIC.mov".
To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.
I have tried on both my imacs and neither of them will open. It is really frusturating. Is there another program I should download?

QT tells me it can't open an mpeg file -- error (2048)

I have an mpeg file. I can open it on a Mac at school, but not on my own Mac. Here, I get:
QuickTime cannot open the file:
it is not a file that QuickTime understands (-2048)
I thought maybe it was because I didn't have Pro (which they do at school), so I bought the key. Waste of $, as that didn't solve anything. Help?
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Some people have reported problems opening mpeg files if they have an .mpeg extension instead of .mpg. Try changing the extension if it is now .mpeg. Some mpegs from Windows systems have the 4 letter extension.
If that doesn't help try this freeware for viewing: VLC

Quicktime 10.3 on OS Maverick cannot open a .mov file. Any suggestions?

I have a .mov file that Quicktime 10.3 on Mac OS 10.9 Maverick cannot open. Tried a bunch of things, no luck. Hoping someone out there knows the right answer.
Thanks, Terri

I have a .mov file that Quicktime 10.3 on Mac OS 10.9 Maverick cannot open. Tried a bunch of things, no luck. Hoping someone out there knows the right answer.
Since almost any compression format can be stored in an MOV file container, it would be nice to know what message the system is giving you, what codecs were used to create the file, and whether or not the file can be opened in any other media player.

I cannot open a .mov file from MAC on a PC

I have a Mac Dual G5 with Mac Os X 10.4.8 and I was making a short HDV movie(only 4Giga) in FCExpress.
I export the movie in H264 1920 X1080 in the QT Conversion window and save them in a .mov file (with blue QT label).
After saving I can open and view the movie with the Mac, no problem.
I make a copy on a DVD for mine friend.
I will open the movie on his PC but it don't work.
He had a Pentium Dual 840 3.2 Ghz Window XP Pro service pack 1 and 2, 2wDirectx9 2 giga Ram 256 nVidia Ge Force 6800
On the PC we install also Quick Time Pro 7.1 for Windows with register number.
When we activate the .mov file on the PC(.mov file from the Mac) we see the Quick Time window in black or white without image.
We try many times but we cannot find a solution..
To day we buy by the Apple Store QT MPEG 2-Playback Component for PC.
After installation we have every time the same problem, no image in the QT windown.
What can I do?
Thanks for assistance

Dear Sir
I find a solution for the problem.
What you say is correct, it is a codex problem.
I download a other program Cineform Aspect HD.199 U$.
Now I can open easy everyone .mov file on the PC(.mov files from the MAC).
Mine conclusion: QuickTime Pro for Windows don’t support H264 codex,
and don’t support any .mov file from the MAC !
Apple make big publicity on their website for QT Pro 7 for Windowns.
They say “QT Pro 7 for Windows support H264 codex”.
I try many days with Apple Support team, they don’t find a solution.
Good evening and thank you for assistance,

Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

The installation was canceled: Install Windows: Windows cannot open the required file E:\sources\install.wim Error code: 0x80070570

I have a Windows XP computer and accidentally formatted the C:\ Drive. I then decided to buy the Windows Vista CD installation and popped it into the CD Drive, there was a problem with the Drive so I had to move it onto a USB Drive instead(on another computer).
When I booted my PC(C: Drive formatted) all went well until I typed in the product key and clicked next. It shows a dialog box:
Install Windows
Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file may be
corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and
restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570
I am in urgent need of help immediately. Please help me!
P.S. and thanks for advance for any help. Sorry for anyone with the same problem.

It sounds like there's a problem with that file. You will need to re-copy the files to USB or even re-download the operating system from Microsoft.

Error "cannot open render.mov"

Hi
In FCP, Im trying to fix up some audio. Sent the clip to Soundtrack pro (STP) but STP says error "cannot open render.mov"
any suggestions?
I also tried opening the file directly - eg "open in editor"didn't work
also tried changing the extension to ".wav" which didn't work either.

Hi
I've got the same difficulty sending clips to Soundtrack Pro in Final Cut Studio 3. This evening, I found a turnaround that works (at least in my case), but that do not explain whether it is a bug or not.
I observed that when I send a clip to STP, two files are created :
• one looks like a STP package file and contains two small files (among them a render.mov that can be read by QT, showing that it is a sound file)
• the other has the same name but truncated (only the first 18 letters) and is a video clip.
I put this last video clip inside the STP package, and then it worked : this new package file opens in STP correctly, I can edit the sound tracks, and when I save the file in STP, all changes are made in FCP.
Can you reproduce this on your systems ?

Rapidwiz error cannot open shared object file: libpthread.so.0 libc.so.6

Hi,

We have downloaded the startCD (B29029-01) and the TechStack CDs (B29032-01_2of2). When running the ./rapidwiz from startCD, we get following error:

Yes, thats correct ...
The actual situation is:
-Customer has split configuration: DB 11g in RHEL5x86-64Bits + APPS 11.5.10.2 in Windows2003
-The target is to have all DB11g and APPS R12 in single node RHEL5x86-64Bits
We're following Note "Migrating to Linux with Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID 238276.1]" to migrate the APPS server from Windows to Linux, as a middle/temporary step prior to make the Migration to R12.
We are trying to do it, but we get errors during Section 2.4 "Install the Middle Tier Technology Stack", running the rapidwiz command we get errors, because of R11i is not supported in 64bits platforms (Oracle Applications Installation Update Notes, Release 11i (11.5.10.2) [ID 316806.1])
Our bigest doubt now is that we are trying to install 11i techstack into RHEL5 x86-64bits, and we think this is not possible, because of R11i is not supported in 64bits platforms !!!
That is, could we migrate the APPS server from Windows to Linux x86-64 as a temporary step to begin the upgrate to R12 all in RHEL5x86-84bits, that is full supported on this 64bit platform?
What possibilities do we have if we can't do this?
Theese can be some of them:
1-Migrate apps server from actual windows2003 to Linux 32bit, in other host with 32 bits installed, instead of 64bits, and move here from windows to lilnux 32bits, and the begin the R12migration
2-Migrate to R12 into actual appserver Windows2003 and then migrate appserver from windows to rhel5-64bits
I don't like second option, because we want to make the R12 upgrade into Linux, not in windows. We need to eliminate windows platform as soon as we can.
Thanks in advance ,

So I have a file on my desktop and I cannot open it, move it to a folder, or delete it from my mac. I dont know what it has in it, and that makes me suspicious. What can I do to remove this unremovable file from my computer? Is it a virus?

First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal. This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences. I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place! So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. In the Terminal, enter the following:
sudo rm -f
Make sure to put a space after the "-f"! Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window. That should insert the path to the file in the command. Then go back to the Terminal and press return. You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure. Press return again after entering your password. The file should be deleted.

Error 0(Native: listNetInterfaces:[3]) and error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi Gurus,
I'm trying to upgrade my test 9.2.0.8 rac to 10.1 rac. I cannot upgrade to 10.2 because of RAM limitations on my test RAC. 10.1 Clusterware software was successfully installed and the daemons are up with OCR and voting disk created. Then during the installation of RAC software at the end, root.sh needs to be run. When I run root.sh, it gave the error: while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have libpthread.so.0 in /lib. I looked up on metalink and found Doc ID: 414163.1 . I unset the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in vipca (unsetting of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL was not required in srvctl because there was no LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in srvctl). Then I tried to run vipca manually. I receive the following error: Error 0(Native: listNetInterfaces:[3]). I'm able to see xclock and xeyes. So its not a problem with x.

Should it be 10.1.1.0 or 10.0.0.0. I looked at the subnet calculator and it says for 10.1.1.1, 10.0.0.0 is the subnet. In metalink they had used 10.10.10.0 and hence I used 10.1.1.0
Any ideas on resolving this issue would be very much appreciated. I had been searching on oracle forums, google, metalink but all of them refer to DOC Id 414163.1 but it does n't seem to work. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Will crs_stat and srvctl status nodeapps -n sunny1pub work after I upgrade my database or should they be working now already?

Under installed products, I see 9i home, 10g home, crs home. Under 10g home and crs home, I see cluster nodes(sunny1pub and sunny2pub) So it looks like the 10g software is installed.
