Compressor now creating unusable .m2v files - on two different systems

Hi all,
This week I was in Sydney attempting to show a friend how to use compressor.
I showed him the way I use it and all was fine until the file was encoded. The resulting audio file was fine, but the video file with a m2v extension ended up with an icon that looked more like a document that a video-related one that compressor normally makes.
DVD Studio would crash when I attempted to import it.
I thought there was a problem with his system and recommended he reinstall compressor, amongst other things.
Now today I am at home and attempting to encode and guess what? My computer is now doing EXACTLY the same thing. Creating unusable .m2v video component files with a document-looking icon.
Am I doing something wrong here and missing it?
Thanks in advance.

This may be an old problem (.m2v file kind) for which I've posted the fix several times (seems like nearly ever week someone posts a report like yours).
The following procedure may solve your problem (however, you may have to change your Finder view to Icons or Lists in order to access the problematic .m2v files):
Select one of the .m2v files that is giving you a problem and then do a control-click (or right click) to show the Finder's contextual menu, then go to the Open With item and select Other... and click the Always Open With checkbox and then navigate to your QuickTime Player and select it as the application to open. This will change the file association for the .m2v file kind and it should fix the problem. You may want to do a system reboot after you do the above fix.
Summary: control-click or right click on the problem .m2v file then:
Open With -> Other... -> (select "Always Open With" checkbox) -> Open (choose) QuickTime Player.

  • How to Archive Files to Two target systems based on Condition

    Hi All,
    Iam doing Idoc--File Interface.
    we have to send the file to Two Different systems based on the plant condition
    If plant = 123 then send to ABC system ELSE if Plant = 999 then send it to XYZ system.
    And Archive the file to one Archive folder of the any one system. this is working fine correctly.
    Archive means not exactly Archiving, just we are droping one more extra file to Archive folder for refference
    Now i need to construct like this
    If plant = 123 then send to ABC system and Archive to Archive directory ELSE if Plant = 999 then send it to XYZ system and Archive to Archive directory.
    Please suggest me on this
    Regards
    Vamsi

    If Plant = 123 then select the BS1(ABC System)
    Ex: //sapdev/test/ABC/item.txt
    For Archive If Plant = 123 then select the BS1(ABC System) Archive folder
    Ex: //sapdev/test/ABC/Archive/item.txt
    If Plant = 999 then select the BS2(XYZ System)
    Ex: //sapdev/test/XYZ/item.txt
    For Archive If Plant = 123 then select the BS2(XYZ System) Archive folder
    Ex: //sapdev/test/XYZ/Archive/item.txt
    Then this becomes very simple:)
    I m assuming you are already using conditional Receiver determination,now for each receiver just configure an extra interface in Interface determination.
    so you will have 2 interface determination and each one of them will have 2 inbound messages,they can use same interface mapping.
    you already will have 1 conditional receiver determination.
    You can also do this via OS script if you have experience in that.
    Thanks

  • One file to two different folders simultaneously?

    Is there a way to copy one file to two different folders simultaneously?
    Maybe a script?
    Drew

    Thanks for the response Baltwo.
    Maybe I shouldnt have said 'simultaneously'.
    What I'm trying to achieve is this.
    I drop a file into one folder and it automatically copies to ano folder (a redundant back up of the first folder)
    Is that possible at all?

  • Two different system in ESS ABAP Webdynpro

    Thanks

    Hello Jacob,
    I would recommend to configure the Jcos to access your second system which will be much more used as the standard ones:
    ○     SAP_R3_HumanResources
    ○     SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
    ○     SAP_R3_Financials
    ○     SAP_R3_Financials_MetaData
    ○     SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics
    ○     SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData
    As for the Leave Request framework, this parameter is configured on the Iview via the Application Parameters. You can go on this via Content Admin as this is a field on the property on the iview.
    You should create a new JcO to the destination system of the Leave Request framework and to parameters add the
    sap-wd-arfc-useSys = JcoName.
    Please refer to the following link on how to create the Jco.

  • Compressor 3 sometime creates corrupt m2v files

    I have FCS 2 installed. Usually i export my project from FC to Compressor, i use standard 90 min dvd template (everything in PAL cos i live in PAL zone). Import generated m2v and ac3 files in DVD SP and so on.
    My big problem is that sometimes Compressor will generate a corrupt m2v that when i try to import in DVDSP will cause the program to quit immediately. When this happens, i try a different compression setting and it works, but on the last occasion I had a very tight deadline and had a 40 min project to export.... There was no way i could manage to get DVD SP to import that m2v file... So i exported the project in 2 separate files ( Day 1 of the event and Day 2 ... initially i had put a chapter marker).
    Now Day1.m2v was ok, but Day2.m2v kept crashing SP while importing the asset.
    At the end i had to export a mov file from FCP and let DVDSP do the encoding.
    At first I thought it was a problem with DVDSP , but then i noticed i can't open the Day2.m2v file with Quicktime player because it will hang the program... so i guess the problem lies within Compressor.
    This is a completely random thing... On another project where i had the same problem, i removed a 10 sec clip from FC timeline, exported with compressor and had no problem at all......
    And this is happening on 2 separate identical machines (one at home and one at the office).
    Any ideas ?

    Sorry for the 'me too' post but....
    I am experiencing the exact same thing.
    I have a 2 hour Full HD project which I export from FCP via Compressor using the 120Min DVD preset.
    Sometimes the file it creates works perfectly in DVDSP, sometimes it just causes DVDSP to hang and/or crash.
    If I then export the file again, sometimes it'll work and sometimes it wont.
    This is all on a 24" iMac with Leopard and all the latest updates.
    Whether the file works or doesn't work, there is no indication from Compressor that it has not processed the file correctly, and the ones that don't work are the same size as the ones that do!

  • Can you move files between two different user accounts in Time Capsule?

    I copied a bunch of stuff from my old NAS (which used FAT) to Time Capsule under one user account... I then reformatted the NAS to HFS+ so I could just use it as a USB drive connected to the TC. Now I realized that I want to have one of those folders in another user directory. I cannot open two different sessions of the TC on the computer...at least I have not figured out how to do this. Is there a way to accomplish this without copying the folder to my computer, then copying it back to the other user directory? It is several gigs.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • How to sync files from two different subscriptions in two different CC desktop folders

    HI,
    I have two CC subscriptions, one for work and one personal. I ran the work subscription in two computers at work and at home (when I need to work from home.) The problem  I find is that there is not two different CC folders for each subscription. When I log out from my work subscription, all my files for that subscription go away. Then when I log in again, they whole syncing process starts all over again. I chose to have two different subscriptions so not to mix my personal work with my work's. Is there a way to have a CC folder on my desktop for each subscription? In this way, when I log out from one account and go to the other the files of the account I just logged out don't get replaced for the files of the account I  just logged in.  Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I just want to let you know what you should be seeing when using 2 accounts.
    Account one:
    1. Log in with Adobe ID for account one
    2. Files sync to Creative Cloud files which is located in your home directory on Mac or Windows.
    3. Log out of account one, Creative Cloud now displays the log in panel.
    Account two:
    1. Log in with Adobe ID for account two
    2. Files sync to account 2's Creative Cloud files which is located in your home directory on Mac or Windows. (Account one's Creative Cloud Files folder is re named)
    Thing to check for are:
    After you logged in to account two, the Creative Cloud folder for account 1 should now be renamed, can you check this please to make sure it has.
    The same is true is you log back in to account one, account two's Creative Cloud folder will be renamed.
    The data should not have to fully re-sync ever time you log out of account 1 and then into account 2, however, can you be sure that the data is actually re downloading. ie; you had 5GB of data in account one and when you log into account 1 the whole 5GB of data is re downloading?, could you check this?
    The Creative Cloud files panel will display "Syncing" for a short while is you switch accounts, this is normal and means the application is reading data on disk and data on the server checking for changes/added files etc. This is not re-downloading all of your data, it is simply checking.
    You are able to move the Creative Cloud files folder to any location on your local hard drive via the Creative Cloud prefs.
    Thanks

  • Save different Objects in one file by two different streams

    Hi all,
    I have a issue to read two Objects from one file if I write those in two different streams.
    I open the ObjectOutputStream and save an Object to the file. Then I close this stream and file. Then I open the new ObjectOutputStream and save the second Object in the same file. It works Ok. Then I open the ObjectInputStream and try to read those two objects and get java.io.StreamCorruptedException.
    This exception happes only when app tryes to read the second Object.
    this is the code example:
    //Write part
    for (int i=0;i<2;i++)
    File file = new File("test.swp");
    FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(file,true);
    ObjectOutputStream objOut = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOut);
    JobObject jobObj = new JobObject();
    jobObj.setID(i);
    objOut.writeObject(jobObj);
    objOut.flush();
    objOut.close();
    fileOut.close();
    //Read part
    FileInputStream fileOut = new FileInputStream("test.swp");
    ObjectInputStream objOut = new ObjectInputStream(fileOut);
    for (int i=0;i<2;i++)
    JobObject jobObj = (JobObject)objOut.readObject();
    objOut.close();
    fileOut.close();
    Thank for any help.

    Maybe try closing the ObjectInputStream (and re-creating it as needed) within your for loop?

  • Can't add files to two different phones

    I have created a ringtone for my iphone 4s and loaded just fine.  I tried to add the ringtone to my fiances phone and I get the red circle with the line through it so I can't add anything to her phone.  No photos, music etc.  I tried signing out of Itunes and into her account but still nothing.  Computer is authorized.  Ringtone is in the Tones folder in ITunes but just can't drag and drop in hers but can in my Iphone 4s.  Any suggestions?

    I think your method is wrong.  You should not change the m4a file to m4r file in it's original location which is for music library.
    Refer proper steps here for creating ringtones:
    Before you start, first go to iTunes top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
    Right click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info” 
    Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK 
    Right mouse click the music again and choose “Create AAC Version” 
    You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a. 
    Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop 
    Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file). 
    *Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length. 
    Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library 
    Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
    Once you have the ringtones in Tones library, you may sync it to your device. Connect and select your iPhone on iTunes left Pane, then on right go to Tones tab and make sure SYNC Tones is checked and click the APPLY or SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • Trying to Create a Catalog file using WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)

    I have been looking online for a solution to htis problem for days and come up with nothing so any help would be amazingly helpful.
    I have created a Windows 8.1 image which I would like to role out to all users within my company but when trying to create a catalog file I am getting an erorr message saying "Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog."  It says "Mounting
    Windows Image file......This might take a few minutes" and then fails after 6-7mins.
    When opening the log file I get this:
