Corrupt dvr-ms files using DMA2200

I have two DMA2200 extenders in my home. Both are networked and linked to media center on the same Vista Ultimate computer. I have a number of dvr-ms formatted videos stored on a NAS server on the same network. These videos have all played on either extender up until now. Now when I try to play a video, I get an error message and it's the same for either extender.
I note that if I 1st play a video on the Vista machine that the file opens with no error. I close it and then launch the same video on the extender and it works.
However, if I 1st open the file from the extender (without first opening it on the Vista machine) the error message occurs...and after it does, when I attempt to open the same file on the Vista machine I get a message saying the file is corrupted. Once the error message occurs, it always does (regardless of whether I launch it from the computer or the extender).
Why is the DMA2200 corrupting dvr-ms files in this way?

Hi,
I did have kinda like a problem like this before with my XBOX360 and I just followed the instructions on the Microsoft website and it resolved my concern. I'll indicate the steps below on what I did and I'll also post the link to the KB article on the Microsoft website. Troubleshooting steps for XBOX360 extender and for DMA2200 is almost the same.
Microsoft KB937609
here are the steps
1. On the Media Center computer, click Start and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
2. In the Programs list, right-click cmd, and then click Run as administrator.
3. At the command prompt, type cd %windir%\system32, and then press ENTER.
4. Type Lodctr /R, and then press ENTER.
5. Wait until you receive the following message, and then type exit:
    Info: Successfully rebuilt performance counter setting from system backup store
6. Restart the computer, and then reconnect the Extender.
Basically, the problem maybe caused by a network performance counter not working properly.
I hope this helps.
update :
Its kinda weird but when I recently checked the link for the Microsoft KB937609, it is no longer showing the article on the Microsoft website. It is good though that I was still able to copy down the exact steps, I don't know what could have happend to the Microsoft KB article. Looks like Microsoft is updating something on their website and forgot to set back some KB articles. Anyway,  you can also see other people having "video error" problems on the other forum below.

    The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
    I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

  • ERROR: The cabinet file 'Sql.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used

    As the title indicates, I'm having this error during installation. It occurs when I try to install
    the "Management Studio" part of the program. I've tried a bunch of things like
    copying to hard drive and installing, but to no avail. To isolate the problem, i've even tried removing Reporting services, since at the time of failure it seems to be trying to install/configure the Microsoft.Reporting Services dll.
    Additionally, I have SQL Express installed (installed it separately, not as part of the SQL 2005 DVD), VS 2005, .NET Framework 2.0, SQL Management Studio Express CTP. Could the Management Studio Express be causing a problem?
    Please note:
    Although the error is about missing / corrupt Sql.cab, I have searched the entire dvd for the said file, but there is no file called Sql.cab on the dvd. Am I missing something?
    Any solution would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    Reading though the many Google hits going way back AD-2000/AD-2006/AD-2011/AD-2014 for various installs including SQLserver_2008/2012 etc
    I noted that in the main there were x2 common themes.
    1. Problem with corruption the original download.
    --- Although I had not run the download checksum
    --- I had previously just installed SQLServer2014_Developer successfully, so at the minute, I was confident downloads were ok.
    --- Many hits mentioned this 'Sql.cab' file and 90% of the install had been successfull -
    --- I figured the chances of us all having corruption of this one files were agaianst the odds and
    ---   probably re-downloading it would not fix this - but I kicked a re-download off anyhow .
    While it was running ...
    2. Network issue when installing - some of the hits asked if could be related to Virtual drives.
    --- This struck a chord
    --- I had downloaded the SQLServer2014 .iso to my host PC and then copied it onto one OneDrive so I could access it within the VirtualBox_Windows_10.
    --- From within the VirtualBox_Windows_10 I had then used SetupVirtualCloneDrive5450.exe to mount the OneDrive SQLServer2014 .iso and then autorun the install.
    What worked for me ...
    --- I decided to
    --- 1. Copy the same SQLServer2014 .iso that had failed to install x2 from OneDrive to the c:\ root of the VirtualBox_Windows_10.
    --- 2. Remount the same SQLServer2014 .iso from c:\ again using SetupVirtualCloneDrive5450.exe.
    --- 3. Re-run the SQLServer2014 install using the repair mode.
    This time the [Maintenance] [Repair] install completed with all elements showing installed successfully.
    Hope this helps

  • Error: the cabinet file required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used.

    Hi, ive recently just built a brand new computer and purchased windows 7 64 bit. the system runs fine except for the fact that i cannot install any games (these include command and conquer 4, red alert 3 and sims 3. i go to install and partway through it stops with a message saying:
     "the cabinet file 'name.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. this could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD ROM, or a problem with this package."
    At first i suspectd a faulty cd rom drive, but the same thing happend wen i tried it with another drive. i know the disks are fine because theyr new. iv searced online and tried things such as disabling the antivirus, going into command prompt and deleting the .....\SQMClient\DisabledSessions as administrator and anything else that was recommended, but it still cant seem to like cabinet files (btw when the installation stops it doesnt always stop on the same .cab as a previous attempt, sometimes it gets further through the installation than others). they install fine on other computes with windows 7 64bit.
    Any help is appreciated! Thanx

  • When extract omni.ja file using winrar program give me that file is corrupted for version 17.0.2 windows and language is EN-US ?

    i need to update and set default bookmarks show always when install firefox
    when update omni.ja file i do this steps :
    Steps to change “Bookmarks.html” file in “omni.ja”:
    - Copy “omni.ja” file and change the prefix of the file to “zip” so that you can extract it using WinRAR program, then extract the file.
    - Make the changes you want to the extracted files.
    - Open the original “omni.ja” file using WinRAR program.
    - Using “Add” button to replace the modified files.
    the first step when extart the file it's give me that file is corrupted only for this version (firefox 17.0.2 windows EN-US)

    There is no need to edit files in the omni.ja! archives to achieve this.

  • How do I make a batch file if the .class file uses a foreign package?

    I am trying to make an MS-DOS batch file using the bytecode file from the Java source file, called AddFields.java. This program uses the package BreezySwing; which is not standard with the JDK. I had to download it seperately. I will come back to this batch file later.
    But first, in order to prove the concept, I created a Java file called Soap.java in JCreator. It is a very simple GUI program that uses the javax.swing package; which does come with the JDK. The JDK is currently stored in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07. I have the PATH environment variable set to the 'bin' folder of the JDK. I believe that it is important that this variable stay this way because C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin is where the file 'java.exe' and 'javac.exe' are stored. Here is my batch file so far for Soap:
    @echo off
    cd \acorn
    set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
    set classpath=.
    java Soap
    pause
    Before I ran this file, I compiled Soap.java in my IDE and then ran it successfully. Then I moved the .class file to the directory C:\acorn. I put NOTHING ELSE in this folder. then I told the computer where to find the file 'java.exe' which I know is needed for execution of the .class file. I put the above text in Notepad and then saved it as Soap.bat onto my desktop. When I double click on it, the command prompt comes up in a little green box for a few seconds, and then the GUI opens and says "It Works!". Now that I know the concept of batch files, I tried creating another one that used the BreezySwing package.
    After I installed my JDK, I installed BreezySwing and TerminalIO which are two foreign packages that make building code much easier. I downloaded the .zip file from Lambert and Osborne called BreezySwingAndTerminalIO.zip. I extracted the files to the 'bin' folder of my JDK. Once I did this, and set the PATH environment variable to the 'bin' folder of my JDK, all BreezySwing and TerminalIO programs that I made worked. Now I wanted to make a batch file from the program AddFields.java. It is a GUI program that imports two packages, the traditional GUI javax.swing package and the foreign package BreezySwing. The user enters two numbers in two DoubleField objects and then selects one of four buttons; one for each arithmetic operation (add, subtract, multiply, or divide). Then the program displays the solution in a third DoubleField object. This program both compiles and runs successfully in JCreator. So, next I moved the .class file from the MyProjects folder that JCreator uses to C:\acorn. I put nothing else in this folder. The file Soap.class was still in there, but I did not think it would matter. Then I created the batch file:
    @echo off
    cd \acorn
    set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
    set classpath=.
    java AddFields
    pause
    As you can see, it is exactly the same as the one for Soap. I made this file in Notepad and called it AddFields.bat. Upon double clicking on the file, I got this error message from command prompt:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: BreezySwing/GBFrame

    ... 12 more
    Press any key to continue . . .
    I know that most of this makes no sense; but that it only means that it cannot find the class BreezySwing or GBFrame (which AddFields extends). Notice, however that it does not give an error for javax.swing. If I change the "set path..." command to anything other than the 'bin' folder of my JDK, I get this error:
    'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    Press any key to continue . . .
    I know this means that the computer cannot find the file 'java.exe' which I believe holds all of the java.x.y.z style packages (native packages); but not BreezySwing or any other foreign packages. Remember, I do not get this error for any of the native Java packages. I decided to compare the java.x.y.z packages with BreezySwing:
    I see that all of the native packages are not actually visible in the JDK's bin folder. I think that they are all stored in one of the .exe files in there because there are no .class files in the JDK's bin folder.
    However, BreezySwing is different, there is no such file called "BreezySwing.exe"; there are just about 20 .class files all with names like "GBFrame.class", and "GBActionListener.class". As a last effort, I moved all of these .class files directly into the bin folder (they were originally in a seperate folder called BreezySwingAndTerminalIO). This did nothing; even with all of the files in the same folder as java.exe.
    So my question is: What do I need to do to get the BreezySwing package recognized on my computer? Is there possibly a download for a file called "BreezySwing.exe" somewhere that would be similar to "java.exe" and contain all of the BreezySwing packages?

    There is a lot of detail in your posts. I won't properly quote everything you put (too laborious). Instead I'll just put your words inside quotes (").
    "..there are some things about the interface that I do not like."
    Like +what?+ This is not a help desk, and I would appreciate you participating in this discussion by providing details of what it is about the 'interface' of webstart that you 'do not like'. They are probably misunderstandings on your part.
    "Some of the .jar files I made were so dangerously corrupt, that I had to restart my computer before I could delete them."
    Corrupt?! I have never once had the Java tools produce a corrupt Jar. OTOH, the 'cannot delete' problem might relate to the JRE gaining a file lock on the archive at run-time. If the file lock persisted after ending the app., it suggests that the JRE was not properly shut down. This is a bug in the code and should be fixed. Deploying as .class files will only 'hide' the problem (from casual inspection - though the Task Manager should show the orphaned 'java' process).
    "I then turned to batch files for their simple structure and portability (I managed to successfully transport a java.util containing batch file from my computer to another). This was what I did:
    - I created a folder called Task
    - Then I copied three things into this folder: 1. The file "java.exe" from my JDK. 2. The program's .class file (Count.class). and 3. The original batch file.
    - Then I moved the folder from a removable disk to the second computer's C drive (C:\Task).
    - Last, I changed the code in the batch file...:"
    That is the +funniest+ thing I've heard on the forums in the last 72 hours. You say that is easy?! Some points.
    - editing batch files is not scalable to 100+ machines, let alone 10000+.
    - The fact that Java worked on the target machine was because it was +already installed.+ Dragging the 'java.exe' onto a Windows PC which has no Java will not magically make it 'Java enabled'.
    And speaking of Java on the client machine. Webstart has in-built mechanisms to ensure that the end user has the minimum required Java version to run the app. - we can also use the [deployJava.js|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html#deplToolkit] on the original web page, to check for minimum Java before it puts the link to download/install the app. - if the user does not have the required Java, the script should guide them through installing it.
    Those nice features in deployJava.js are available to applets and apps. launched using webstart, but they are not available for (plain) Jar's or loose class files. So if 'ensuring the user has Java' is one of the requirements for your launch, you are barking up the wrong tree by deploying loose class files.
    Note also that if you abandon webstart, but have your app. set up to work from a Jar, the installation process would be similar to above (though it would not need a .bat file, or editing it). This basic strategy is one way that I provide [Appleteer (as a downloadable ZIP archive)|http://pscode.org/appleteer/#download]. Though I side-step your part 1 by putting the stuff into a Jar with the path Appleteer/ - when the user expands the ZIP, the parts of the app. are already in the Appleteer directory.
    Appleteer is also provided as a webstart launched application (and as an applet). Either of those are 'easier' to use than the downloadable ZIP, but I thought I would provide it in case the end user wants to save it to disk and transport the app. to a machine with no internet connection, but with Java (why they would be testing applets on a PC with no internet connection, I am not sure - but the option is there).
    "I know that .jar and .exe files are out because I always get errors and I do not like their interfaces. "
    What on earth are you talking about? Once the app. is on-screen, the end user would not be able to distinguish between
    1) A Jar launched using a manifest.
    2) A Jar launched using webstart.
    3) Loose class files.
    Your fixation on .bat files sounds much like the adage that 'If the only tool you have is a hammer, every job starts to look like a nail'.
    Get over them, will you? +Using .bat files is not a practical way to provide a Java app. to the end user+ (and launching an app. from a .bat looks quite crappy and 'second hand' to +this+ user).
    Edit 1:
    The instructions for running Appleteer as a Jar are further up the page, in the [Running Appleteer: Application|http://pscode.org/appleteer/#application] section.

  • Is it possible to store a back up on external HD by transfering files using Target Disk Mode?

    Dear Apple community,
    There's absolutely no way that I'm going to be able to fix my MBP without a clean install. I simply cannot log in and get to my desktop screen after upgrading to Mavericks. So I will have to erase everything and perform a clean install. However, before proceeding with this plan, I'll have to back up my files from my MPB since I cannot use my mac normally, I'll have to back up my files using the Target Disk Mode. I've connected my MPB to another MPB in the past, so I know how the process work. But this time around I won't be able to use another MBP but a MB. I have a few doubts regarding the process especially in what concernd adding an external HD to this equation. So please bear with me and see if you can answer my doubts.
    So this is the equipment I'll be working with: my MPB, my friends MacBook (2008) and my 1TB external hard drive.
    My basic question is: once I connect my MPB in Target Disk Mode to the MB, I'm sure I'd be able to transfer my files to this MB. But let's say that I don't want to leave my files in this MB (after all it's not my computer) and want to send my files straight to an external HD connected to this MB. Is it possible?  If positive, I know that the only FireWire port in the MB is a 400 port. That means my MBP will be connect to the MB using the only FireWire port available in the MB. So I believe that my external HD would have to be connected to the MB with the help of an USB cable. I assume that this will make the transferring process a little slower than if I could count solely on FireWire ports. Slowing the process down is not a problem but could this corrupt any of my files during the transferring process or even damage anything? I assume that would never happen after all it's just digital data, but better safe than sorry, right? What do you think?
    Another thought that occurred to me is: let's say I connect my MBP to the MB using the FireWire 400. I'd still have an FireWire 800 port available on my MBP. If I connect my external HD to my MBP (yeah, the one that will be in Target Disk Mode) using that FW 800 port, would my MBP allow this external HD to mount as if it was just another folder/drive in my computer? If positive, theoretically I'd be able to transfer files from my MBP to my external HD manually (by dragging files from folder to folders), right?
    I really don't want to transfer my files from the MBP to the MB and then from MB to external HD. That would just take time and I really don't know how much available space I'll find on my friend's MB.
    Oh, one last question: when transferring files using Target Disk Mode, do all computers involved in this process gotta have the same OS X version installed or it doesn't matter if e.g one is running Snow Leopard and the other Mavericks?
    Looking forward to hear back from you, experts.

  • Why does Firefox 7 freeze when I paste a filename when printing to a file using Microsoft XPS Document Writer?

    This is more of a bug, and it doesn't seem to happen all the time.
    I like printing web pages to Microsoft XPS Document Writer (.xps) format. FF7 seems to freeze often when I paste a filename (usually from copying something, like the title, from the web page itself) after trying to print to a file using Microsoft XPS Document Writer. I think it may be that I wind up copying some special formatting (or maybe a line break) and that causes FF to freeze (I then have to force-close it using Task Manager). Just a bug that I hope the developers will note and fix.
    Another question, not quite related to the above, but is there a way to save an html web page to save only the text stuff? When I save to Text File in Firefox, I usually wind up with all the html crap in it too, when I just wanted the text content portion. TIA.

    Can you undo the system restore?
    Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
    *You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files pr profiles.ini can be affected.
    *You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
    In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Adobe Bridge Corrupts Canon CR2 files

    Viewing Canon CR2 RAW files from a Canon EOS 7D or Canon EOS 40D camera will corrupt some images. After Adobe Bridge creates a
    thumbnail of the CR2 files, some images previews will show the file with corruption (large white square or discolored areas). The CR2 file then
    becomes corrupt. The file is not corrupt prior to viewing in bridge, but it becomes corrupt after viewing in bridge. The file is corrupt because it can
    no longer be processed with any other RAW conversion program including ACR, DPP, or BreezeBrowser. If the file is marked as read only before viewing in bridge, the image preview shows corrupt in Bridge but the file remains intact and can be processed with Canon's DPP software. This issue first occured with CS4 and the ACR 5.5 update. The problem seemed to be less prevalent with the ACR 5.7 update. However after upgrading to CS5 this problem is back and worse than ever.
    When doing a detailed file compare between a corrupted version of a CR2 file and  a copy of the same file before the corruption occurs it appears as if metadata has been written to the wrong part of the file (middle) instead of the beginning (header).
    Operating System: Windows 7

    I am trying to fix this problem as well.
    In my case, I've got Windows 7 (32-bit), CS5, and a Canon 50D.
    I've got photos that I can view perfectly in Canon's Digital Photo Professional, but the SAME photo in the SAME directory opens corrupted in Bridge.
    Here's an interesting wrinkle:
    Scenarios:
    (fyi - all my CR2 images are pulled off the CF card using Bridge's loader)
    CR2 Image opened in Canon's Digital Photo Professional:  Opens Fine.
    CR2 Image opened in Photoshop directly (skipping Bridge):  Opens Fine.  (opens in Camera Raw first, of course, but still Fine)
    CR2 Image 'browsed to' in Bridge:  Corrupted pinky/yellow/white.
    CR2 Image double-clicked in Bridge, opens in Camera Raw:  Corrupted pinky/yellow/white.
    Bridge closed.
    CR2 image opened in Photoshop directly again.  Pay attention... opens 1st in Camera Raw: Corrupted, but for only five seconds! It refreshes on its own and now is Fine!  Click Open Image into Photoshop and it Opens Fine again.
    It's clear to me Bridge/Adobe something is corrupting these images.
    It seems sometimes that the corruption becomes permanent, and even Canon's Digital Photo Professional shows a corrupted image.  In the scenarios and order mentioned above, the CR2 file remains openable fine in Digital Photo Professional.  So, why other images I have cannot open well in Digital Photo Professional, I do not know -- perhaps the order I clicked things caused Bridge to update the CR2 file?
    I'm in the process of updating all CS5 software to the latest, in case I'm missing some updates.  If anything improves as a result, I'll update here.

  • Downloading BLOB to a file using pl/sql toolkit

    Created an Oracle Reports RDF file using the reports builder (9.0.2.x).
    Uploaded the file into the database in a BLOB column using the following code:
    >>>>
    SET VERIFY OFF
    DECLARE
    p_bfile BFILE ;
    p_blob BLOB ;
    BEGIN
    p_bfile := BFILENAME('CDR_REPORTS', '&1') ;
    INSERT INTO RPTIDE (RPTID, RPTMODULE) VALUES ('&1', EMPTY_BLOB()) RETURNING
    RPTMODULE INTO p_blob ;
    DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(p_bfile, DBMS_LOB.FILE_READONLY);
    DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(p_blob, p_bfile, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(p_bfile));
    DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE(p_bfile);
    COMMIT ;
    END ;
    <<<<<
    Now when we try to download the same file using pl/sql web toolkit (code pasted
    below), the file downloads fine (with exact same file size as before), but no
    longer can open the file in Reports Builder anymore. Get "Cannot open file"
    error in reports builder. Is it getting corrupt or am I doing something wrong?

    BEGIN
    SELECT rptmodule, 'application/x-zip'
    INTO p_file, p_mime_type
    FROM rptide
    WHERE rptid = p_rpt ;
    OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(p_mime_type);
    p_len := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(p_file);
    WHILE p_offset < p_len LOOP
    DBMS_LOB.READ(p_file, p_buf_size, p_offset, p_buf);
    HTP.PRN(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(p_buf));
    p_offset := p_offset + p_buf_size;
    END LOOP;

    WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN HTP.PRN('No document specified') ;
    WHEN OTHERS THEN HTP.P('filedownload: '||SQLERRM);
    END filedownload ;

    The answer to this problem was to set the NLS_LANGUAGE for the DAD to an 8-bit character set since the database charset was 8-bit. It seems, by default, the web toolkit assumes a 7-bit character set.
