Corrupted clips? Can't re-connect media.

Hi,
I hope this all makes sense - I find it hard to explain...
I have been importing old VHS tapes for a friend. Last night, I finished capturing a tape, checked the clips and they were all fine. Got up this morning and this happened.
I opened FCP and some clips were missing. I tried to reconnect media. The clips are still there in the Capture Scratch folder. However, when I select the correct clip to re-connect, I get the message File "Clip Name" does not have proper content to reconnect to clip in sequence "Clip Name". This seems to have happened to the last 4 clips I have captured. When I try to open them with Quicktime, I get the message "File could not be opened. This is not a movie file."
The clips I'm having the trouble with, say 'Last Modified Today 9am' - this is weird as I captured them last night and haven't touched them since.
Also, don't know if this is of any relevance, but in Finder these clips are displayed as the Quicktime logo, whereas all the clips that are still working, are displayed with a little icon of the actual footage.
Each clip was almost an hours worth of footage so I REALLY don't want to have to capture them all again.
Any help would be much appreciated.

So you need to establish whether your clips are corrupted?
I suggest doing a GET INFO on each one and then changing the default application which opens it to QUICKTIME.
Then try double clicking the file and see if it opens in QT.
If you still get the "this is not a movie file" alert, you can be pretty sure that you have corrupted QT files.
I've just been through a major nightmare of this nature and tried every piece of software I could find to open my corrupted 75gig HD file. I asked questions on all the boards and failed to find anyone or any service that could help me ...
until ...
I found a guy in Balcelona in Spain who specializes in rescuing corrupt Quicktime files. He claims to be the only guy in the world doing this.
He rescued a 90 minute HD file for me and his initial charge is $149.
For this he sends you a piece of software which takes a sample of your corrupt file. Then you email him this tiny slice. He examines it and, if he can help you, he adapts his software to your own particular problem.
He then emails you an application to fix your problem. If he fixes your problem and you are happy, you pay him by credit card or whatnot and he then emails you a code which does the final fix.
It's almost unbelievable, I know. But it worked for me.
I had to have two passes done because of unforeseen difficulties, so it cost me $300. I was so grateful to him for fixing something which would have taken me days to replace and recut that I sent him an extra $100. So total $400.
I'm at home right now and not at my office. If you want his website and email and so on, reply to this email and I'll post the information in the morning.
Best
Harry.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • Hi, I have a new laptop and would like to syncronise my iphone with iTunes (which I have installed again). But my old laptop has died so I could not transfer any media files, etc. Can I simply connect my iPhone to the laptop without any data being lost?

  • STP file hangs up re-connect media

    I'm going to post this here and in STP.
    When I try to re-connect media in one of my FCP projects, I get a message that it can't find "EffectDD2C0AF6.....aif" and so the project won't play. It affects Media Manager as well, but MM lets you "skip file" once you've gone thru the effort of trying to search for it.
    I did a search of my computer and found a lot of files labeled "Effect....aif" in STP "Temporary Files" folder. But they are all dimmed and won't come into the project.
    When I create a map of a project in Gridiron Flow, I can see a bunch of files labeled "Effect....aif" And if I examine them (in Flow) and say "reveal in finder" I find that they are audio files I've created and/or modified in STP.
    If I didn't have Flow, I'd have no idea which files are being referred to, since these audio files have actual names, and when I look at the browser or the timeline, they don't indicate whether or not the files were created in STP.
    Is this a bug or is it something I'm doing wrong in STP when I create and name these files?

  • I recently purchased a time capsule and thought I would put my itunes on it as an external drive as my mac book air only has 120gb. However I can not be connected to the internet and the TC at the same time in order to download the files to the TC. Help?

    I recently purchased a Time Capsule and put my iTunes library on there so that I wasn't using up my hard drive space. Only 120gb on my mac book air. However when I download songs from iTunes I can not be connected wirelessly to the internet at the same time. Can I hard wire my TC in to my mac so that I can treat the TC as just an external hard drive? Thanks

    Initially, you asked if you can hardwire your MBA to the TC. The answer is yes, by using the optional USB Ethernet adapter that Apple provides. However, in order for your MBA to access the TC's internal or USB-attached HDD, it would need to establish a network connection to it. This would be true of any NAS device on an Ethernet network. Therein, lies the problem. Your MBA cannot connect to two networks simultaneously.
    One option then, would be to have two separate iTunes Media folders; one on the MBA & the other on the TC. This way, you can download the music to your MBA when connected to the Internet at the AirPort lounge, and then use iTunes Consolidate Library feature to transfer the audio files to the TC's iTunes Media Folder location. A great program to help maintain multiple iTunes Librarys and/or Media Folders, that you may want to consider, is PowerTunes.

  • IBook can no longer connect to wireless network

    I have a wireless network set up in my home using a Linksys wireless router. While it has worked fine in the past, I can no longer connect to it with my G4 iBook running 10.3.9. It shows up in my network connections with a strong signal but when I open a browser it can't connect to the internet. When I try to open 'Internet Connect' to explore the issue I get the spinning beach ball and have to Force Quit. When I open the network status window, I get a message for Airport that says "Airport is connected to the network 'name of my network'. Airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet".
    I have an iMac G5 connected to the router through ethernet cable and it works fine. I have an iMac G4 connected wirelessly to the same wireless router and it works fine. I have a Dell laptop that can also connect wirelessly to the wireless router with no problem.
    It appears something is corrupt with the Internet Connect utility?
    Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Doug

    What type of IP address are you getting? If it starts with 169, it indicates that your iBook can not connect to the DHCP server provided by the router.
    Have you enabled the MAC address filtering on the router? If so, remember that you must add the AirPort MAC address for your iBook.
    If you have a correct IP address, perhaps it is a DNS issue. See KB 106798, Mac OS: Troubleshooting "A connection failure has occurred", "The specified server could not be found" or Similar Messages.

  • I can no longer connect to my pc home sharing

    I have been using my itunes on my HTPC as my media server for my atv2 for months without issue, but after a power outage i can no longer connect to my HTPC.  It shows up under "computers" but it will not connect.  I didn't change any firewall settings or anything, so there is no reason that I can think of for it to just stop working out of the blue.
    I have tried logging out of home sharing and logging back in.
    I have tried resetting everything (routers, computers, apple tv, etc)
    I have tried the ATVs wired and wireless
    I have de-authorized and re-authorized my computer, but I still have the same problem.
    I have 2 ATV2s and I have the same issue with both.
    I have a new macbook pro and the home sharing works on it.  I can use airplay from my ipad, MBP, and the HTPC, but just can't use home sharing. 
    I have tried everything that I can think of.  if you have any suggestions, please let me know.
    Thanks

    @puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
    After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
    Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!

  • Since the new Mevericks update my Air can no longer connect to a shared Itunes lib on Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I have two mac laptops at home. My pro and my air. I have it setup so that I stream all my media from my pro to my air.
    I updated my pro to the newest Mavericks version. Since that update I can no longer connect to my library on my pro via my air.
    Please note that this problem here is with the mac book pro! I updated my air last night and i could still stream.
    All I get is the usual "loading library" (on my air's itunes) but it never connects.
    Other than restarting the application (on both computers) and restarting (both computers) what else can I do?
    Are other people having the same problem??

    Hi Bryan,
    Thanks for your input.
    Unfortunately I cannot get any of the OS X browsers I have tried to get beyond the accepting the site's certificate. All just stall waiting on the Outlook Web Access site. Safari 3.1, Camino, Flock, Firefox (2.0.0.12 and 3 beta 4), Netscape (7.1 and 9), Microsoft's Internet Explorer (thinking that might be more integrated with its Outlook Web Access package).
    I have even deleted the certificates from my Keychain (for Safari) or within the other browsers' preferences.
    Last night I even re-applied the 10.4.11 combo updater and then checked for software updates to confirm my system was up to date, but again without success when attempting to reach the Outlook Web Access site.
    Thanks anyway.

    When connected to iTunes I get a message to restore it which I have done several times.
    Is there a file on my Mac that is also corrupt causing the iPod to be restored which continues to corrupt it?
    Once I connected it to another Mac and gave it a different name it has behaved so far. If I change the name to what it had been the silliness starts all over again.
    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
    Thanks,

  • Can I delete Original Media folder after its all been transcoded?

    So i remember reading that most footage you import should be transcoded. Though Final Cut Pro "works natively with formats like h.264 and dslr movs, it is better to have it optimized into Pro Res and transcoded." Having listened to that, I have Optimized all of my media that I have importated however now I have double the media in my FCP Events folders because I have both Original Media and Transcoded media. This leads me to a few questions...
    1) Can I delete the Original Media folder if all my my media is transcoded? How will this effect my timeline and projects? Will this free up space? How can I verify all of my clips have bene transcoded?
    2) Can I delete the Transcoded Media and go back to using the Original Media? Will this mess up my timeline and projects that I have started editing or will it revert the media in my projects back to the Original? Which would run faster/better performacne Original Or Transcoded? I shoot all of my footage on a Canon 7d DSLR 24/30 fps 1080p, H.264.
    3) What workflows have you used so that you dont dobule anything? If this project is a loss, what should I be doing in future events when importing? Should I send to Compressor and transcode there BEFORE I import into FCP. That way I am only importing the Transcoded stuff?
    Thoughts?

    1- Yes, you can delete the Original Media folder, FCP will only read from your Optimized Media folder then.  But move it to the trash first, then launch FCP X and test it out, before emptying the trash.
    2- Yes, again, test it as I mentioned in 1 above.  Once you remove either Original or Optimized, it's gone, that's it.
    3- Always let FCP do the transcoding, doing it in Compressor gains you nothing.  You shold base your decision to optimize on the hardware you're using and the amount of storage space you have available.  H.264 is super compressed.  ProRes uncompresses it and is more of it's natural file size.

  • FCPX 10.1: why is some video clips shown with a connected clip icon ?

    Hi there,
    I have finally updated to 10.1
    But after conversion, in the browser, why are there some video clips shown with a connected clip icon ? And it doesn't play ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    The edited project was 60 seconds making up an intricate title sequence involving 24 video segments and 48 png/ PSD files.  Had a brain storm and was wondering if there is anyway the the project could move to another event so currently going through all the event folders on my FCPX edit drive. I just can't see how a project can just vanish.
    Thanks for your suggestion.

  • Can i remotely connect to my external hard disk from my iPhone/iPad?

    Hello,
    I just bought a new apple time capsule.
    Can i remotely connect it with my mac without a static public IP?
    I read that i can not reach it remotely anymore for iPhone en iPad since the last update, is that correct?
    So than i want to connect my external connected hard disk. Is this possible with my iPhone or iPad?
    I heard about filebrowser but it doesn't work well.
    And what about apple TV, can i stream from my TC?
    Can anybody explain how i can fix this?
    Thx
    Macbook Pro 2012, iPhone 6, iPad air 2, Apple TV

    Apple have no method to connect iOS device to the TC at any time.. LAN or WAN.. so any method you use must come from 3rd party app.
    I heard about filebrowser but it doesn't work well.
    It works as well as any other app can. Remote access must be based on a network protocol and the only ones supported by Apple are AFP and SMB.
    AFAIK people have not been successful getting AFP based file apps on iOS to work remotely although I have not checked closely for a while.
    So you have to use SMB.. and at least filebrowser has instructions.
    http://www.stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6remote
    It is however unsafe opening SMB at any time. And I suggested people try it with different ports instead of obvious ones.. but that didn't work so why it needs to be 20445 I don't know.. but it does make it fairly obvious.
    The alternative method which is really the only safe way to do this is using a different router.. one with built in vpn servers. These used to be expensive but you can buy them now for less than $100.. or use routers with 3rd party. You have to move the TC to being bridged and used as WAP and switch. However that is not a major issue. The vpn router will include a standard ddns client so that fixes not having static IP.
    And iOS has good vpn clients built in or app add ons.
    VPN is the right way to do this.
    And what about apple TV, can i stream from my TC?
    TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it has no media extensions. Apple TV is not a media player.. it is a streamer. So you must have an application which can stream from TC to the ATV which means you need a computer with iTunes or you need ipad and some software that can read files and stream it.. obviously apple built the system for itunes and itunes pretty much exclusively.
    If you get a WD live TV it can play source material directly from TC.. because it is a true media player. Apple TV cannot.

  • Itunes telling me ipod is corrupt - what can I do?  Only have light on nothing else

    My daughter's ipod won't turn on, she thought it was a problem with battery but I have charged it and light comes on but nothing else.  Connected it to iTunes only to be told Ipod is corrupted - what can I do?  Went to support centre but Monday before I can get a response.

    Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.
