Corrupted media fil

so ive just downloaded this war series, and half way through the downloading of 1 episode it says some files were corrupted. so i deleted it from itunes and click itunes downloads available and it started right where it left off. does this mean the file is still on my computer?

I'm having the same issue. I can tell you where to find the temporary file but haven't figured out a fix yet. If you look in the Itunes folder/Itunes Media/Downloads, the temporary files should be there. I'm not sure if the path would be different for a Mac though. I've tried deleting the temp files but haven't had any luck yet...

  • Corrupted Media Files?

    Whenever I try to watch a video that I downloaded, it either plays for about five seconds, then says that there was an error or that the format isn't supported or else it won't start  at all and it flickers between saying it's paused and saying it's playing.  It plays videos fine if they're the movies I'd already recorded, though.
     . . . so what's happening with all of that?  Is there a way to fix it?  I'd try and re-install it and hope for the best, but I dont think that I have the discs and cords and such to connect to a computer and reformat.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Yes, all media files are not created equal. I found that simply watching media files that I obtained and did not convert often resulted in bad things -- including rebooting my BB. I have shifted to DLing my media content to my PC and then using DTM/MM to move/convert the media files to my BB. The result has been perfect stability of playback.
    Good luck!

  • How to find corrupt media...Need Level 4 helpers Please!

    Thanks for reading. There's alot of info here so thanks ahead of time!
    I am at a post facility and don't have authorization to do some of the things mentioned in other posts so I need some expert recommendations (You all) in order to convince the "Post Production Facility Manager" to fix this.
    I'm working on a project that, once I quit at night and re-open in the morning...Final Cut crashes/quits at about 22% on the progress bar.
    My best workaround so far has been exporting the timeline/sequence as an XML and then re-importing into a NEW project. I do this because I usually have to go back 2 to 3 hours in the Auto Save Vault to find a project that WILL open.
    I've also deleted all the renders, removed my Boris 4.2 transitions, deleted preferences...except that I hop from bay to bay as I also get shuffled around this facility too (which adds extra fun to try to get autosaves)
    BACKGROUND: There are two systems that are intels and 2 that are G5s and we're all sharing an XSAN. Plus the "Facility Manager" also 'shares' the Raid (mounts the raid through one of the computers) while doing After Effects work from time to time (he renders on a system with the fiber card though).
    Anyhow...in AVID MC land...if you watched at the point the progress bar stops...that gives you a better indication which/where you corrupted media file is.
    There's more but I get back to it. Any ammo to use on the "Facility Manager" would be greatly appreciated as he is insistent on NEVER restarting the XSAN as it takes a half hour to restart...apparently....and he says that's not the problem.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    <<Can you not navigate to the capture scratch folder on the x-san and re name it?>>
    No, because there are 4 other editors using the Xsan and I don't/wouldn't get permission. What if I just 'Select All' on the timeline and Shift + D-it, take it offline, leave on the drive, and then reconnect?
    Plus, when I reconnect in sections, what do I do to check for corrupted media? Would I find it by playing the timeline or am I opening and closing the project each time I do a new section
    <<I will be willing to guess that the corrupt file is one of the following: a cmyk photoshop file, an imported stock shot or some other graphic file.>>
    There are only five RGB 8-bit png's in the timeline. No CMYKs. No imported QTs. No stock footage. No mixed formats. Everything is DVCPRO HD 720p60 footage digitized through the KONA 3 card.

  • IWork 08 Pages "The media file can't be used because it's corrupt"

    I am creating a school Yearbook - lots of photos. Pages has been running really slowly and to add to my problems when I reopened my pages document, most of the pictures on the pages I worked on have been replaced by grey blocks with a question mark in it. I am not able to replace the grey blocks with the pictures that used to be in there as it gives me the error message "The media file can’t be used because it’s corrupt". However, the photos work perfectly well in other Pages documents and other programs such as preview, word and so on...
    I am finding the whole experience of working on Pages very demoralizing. Any help out there?

    Hi naglechocolate
    Welcome to the forum.
    Pages is far from a professional DTP program and when you get down to some real world tasks does show more than a few rough edges.
    I suspect you may have just pushed it too hard.
    As Yvan says it includes the whole image in the document, unlike most DTP programs which work with links. So I would concentrate on not making those images too large.
    With a school yearbook, the photos are usually one or 2 standard sizes and need to be printed at a finished resolution of 300dpi, so you can crop and size them before you import them to be most efficient.
    *Preview .app* will do this for you for free but there are also 3rd part utilities that can make a much a set workflow out of this often tedious process.

  • Mailed PDF files arrive on Windows platform as corrupt Windows Media files

    Recently I mailed some .pdf files to 3 of the Windows machines on our network. Each of them reported that when attempting to open the .pdf file on the Windows machine, their system tried to use Windows Media instead of Adobe Reader. Of course they received an error message. When they saved the .pdf files on their machines, the files opened correctly in Adobe Reader.
    These are files that I downloaded from the State of Oregon. After we had problems there, I mailed them some of the .pdf files I had created. Same results. The Windows machine treats them as corrupt Windows Media files.
    I am the only Mac in our company. Of course the problem must be mine!?!
    I am using MS Entourage as my mail client.
    Suggestions? Comments? Answers?
    Thanks!!

    Kappy,
    No problem! Your suggestions were what made me consider the extension option in Entourage's preferences. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
    Your suggestion also prompted me to try the same thing using Mail. Mail worked just fine, so the problem is in how Entourage handles the .pdf file being sent to a Windows computer where it will be opened either in Outlook or Internet Explorer.
    It seems that Somewhere along the line, the .pdf extension is being changed to a .png extension which triggers the launch of Windows Media Browser.
    I just rebuilt the Entourage database and I'll see what happens now.

  • Audio from media files becomes corrupted, but video from same files remains fine.

    I've been recording footage on a Sony nxcam in AVCHD 1080p 30fps for use in a premiere pro project. After importing the files into premiere they all work perfectly fine, no video or audio issues. I edited an entire narration using only the audio from the media files, and then left my computer for about an hour to get lunch. Upon return, the audio in the files skips huge chunks, and ends about a minute before the video ends, but the video seems unaffected. Deleting and reimporting the files doesn't solve the issue, somehow only the audio in media clips seems to have been severly messed up. This happened again earlier this morning, a media file was working fine, and then suddenly only the audio has huge chunks missing out of it, and the remaining chunks are all bunched together with no gaps so that the audio ends minutes before the video does. Any ideas?

    Close Premiere and go to your Media Cache Directory for Premiere. Select ALL and Delete those files. Open Premiere and that project and let it conform again. See if the audio is fine.

  • How to fix a corrupt .avi file (from capture in CS3)?

    So I was recording a VERY long meeting at work and recorded it to my PC via Premiere. Since the recording was unattended, the file size is 275GB! I didn't really think anything would go wrong since I have recorded large .avi files in the past.
    Well when I try to import the .avi or play it in media player, it is saying it is corrupt/wrong file format. I tried a few avi repair utilities and none of them fixed it. I'm guessing the avi headers are missing, but I thought Premiere wrote progressive .avi files (at least their export is progressive and valid while its writing).
    Any help to repair salvage the avi? I only need about 50% of the actual content.

    >wonder why you can view a video that is currently being exported
    Seeing what the computer is
    DOING while it is doing it is really not the same as trying to open a file after the fact
    I have an inexpensive standalone DVD recorder to be able to move a movie from a DirecTv Tivo box in one part of the house to a DVD player in another part of the house
    I can watch the video on the TV while it is playing from the DTivo box to the DVD recorder
    If I do not properly CLOSE the disc when the recording is done, the DVD will not play
    An improperly closed file is, as you found, not going to work
    As I said, my best GUESS is that hitting the full point on the drive caused needed information to not be written to the header (or file end) and now any software you use to try and play or edit that file doesn't know what the file
    IS because the identity is lost
    I will guess that is also why the AVI repair programs you've tried won't work... they need to have some starting information to work, otherwise the contents of the file are just so much random "noise"

  • Error message says I have to delete a corrupt backup file?

    Error message says I have to delete a corrupt backup file, but under my preferneces & under my devices, there is no old backup file to delete, so I can't delete a corrupt one if i dont have any?!

    I know this is a late reply was wondering if you had the problem still as I have been having this problem for many months.  Today I was looking around getting ****** off why it was not working and I found my culprit and thought I would see if it would help you.  Not sure if you, like me, changed your itunes media store location somewhere other than the default location.  What I noticed was in Users>UserName>AppData>Roaming>AppleComputer>MobileSync there was a backup folder with a shared link icon on it and when I double clicked on it windows promptly brought up an error that its location was not valid.  So I figured since it was not valid and I did not have any backups anyways I deleted the folder and then went to itunes and tried a sync and it worked perfectly again.  The backup folder was re-created properly and the stupid corrupt error went away.

  • Corrupt Quicktime files from Photo Booth

    I am looking for a Quicktime Repair tool for Mac OS X. Preferably one that can re-write / repair quicktime headers and verify video frame data.
    My 4 year old was making some videos of himself using Photo Booth .. my wife and I happened to discover them a few nights ago and were laughing like mad.. was really cute and funny.
    So you can imagine our disappointment when I logged in today to move them to a safe location, and couldn't see them in Photo Booth. Inside the filesystem, I show a number of .MOV files, but none of them play. Quicktime reports "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." Seven of Fourteen movie files in the folder are like this.
    When I try to open it in VLC I get a more detailed message in the message log (i've snipped it down for the purpose of posting)
    access_file debug: opening file `/Users/family/Movies/kids/Movie 36.mov'
    main debug: using access2 module "access_file"

    I loaded the file up in 0xED (a Hex Editor) and the raw file header in the BAD files look like:
    ... mdatftypftypftypftypftypftypftyp....wide....mdat h.......
    while a GOOD file header look something like
    ... ftypqt ....qt ......................wide...smdat h .....
    It looks corrupt to me. I'd like to think that only the header is corrupt, and the video data is still fine ... I was curious if anyone had anything to assist?
    The only other thing I could think about doing was hexediting the headers, swapping good headers for the bad ones (since the videos from Photo Booth share the same dimension, FPS, etc)

    Was this problem ever solved? I've got a similar one.

  • Corrupted tif files

    Hi All,
    I was working on a big tif file 2g at size, I edit it with photoshop through adobe lightroom. Due to unknown reason, when i tried to save the file in photoshop, and I was informed the file is non-accessible. It ends up the file is disappeared from hardisk and I used some recovery software to retrieve the tif files. However, it seems a corrupted tif files which can't open in Photoshop or Irfanview.
    the error message I got from photoshop is 'could not complete your request, because it is not the right kind of file'.. it is a tif file with layers.
    I had tried to google and search, it seems there is no way to repair a corrupted tif files.
    Do I have a chance to restore it using any method?
    thank you.

    I'm sorry to hear of your loss of data.
    Generally speaking, lost image data is usually really lost, especially if any recovered files you've identified to possibly contain your images are not opening in the ways you've tried...
    Just basic stuff you've probably already thought of:
    Have you made sure to rename files you're hoping to be TIFFs with the .tif file extension?
    Did you File - Save As your file anywhere else?
    Did you do a system backup that might have saved an earlier copy of the file to external media?

  • Corrupt backup file

    I recently had to do a Full System Recovery on my daughters notebook to correct an audio problem. I backed up her My Documents folder on a flash drive using the Windows Backup Utilty. After the reinstall of Windows XP Pro, I could not restore my files using the Backup Restore Wizard (nor any other way!). I get the message "Unrecognized Media" followed by "The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used." I found a couple programs to repair and recover corrupted backup files which found the files and displayed them but in order to restore them, you had to pay for the program which cost $149. I can't afford to pay that to restore my daughters files from college. I am a single consumer, not a corporation! Is there any free programs to accomplish this task? The afore mentioned  ones said "Free" but only half free!
    A solution to my problem would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!! I have been very fustrated trying to get this resolved!!!

  • False positive critical alert from OEM: number of missing media files is 7

    Hi all,
    We were a bit stunned here as we got a page from OEM that the number of missing media files is 7! We ran the query only to find that there are none missing. One of the SR. DBA's said he thought he remembered seeing this months ago and it cleared itself soon after.
    SELECT COUNT(FILE#)
    FROM V$DATAFILE_HEADER
    WHERE RECOVER ='YES'
    OR ERROR IS NOT NULL;
    After running that to verify the count is 0 (no missing files or corrupt files) I then looked in OEM at the alert and clicked the hyperlink to the graph that shows a spike to 7 then immediately went away so I assume this is some but in 10.2.0.4?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Missing Media File Count metric represents the count of missing media files.
    You can remove it from monitoring template if don't need.
    Here is with screenshots demonstrated that:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gEMR2/Quick_Start/system_monitoring/system_monitoring.htm
    But basicaly under this message is select:
    SELECT count(file#)
    FROM v$datafile_header
    WHERE recover ='YES' OR error is not null;
    Do you have any rows returned?

  • I need help.  Lost media files.

    Ok, here goes. I am an idiot. There, I admit it. Now, onto my problem.
    I have a imovie6 project file I wanted to back up to an external hard drive. The problem is that I did not realise it was already formatted FAT32 instead of MAC OS Extended. So, rather than reformat (I still run some of the Evil Empire software) I decided to split the project file with Split Concat 2.5
    The problem is, I had no idea what I was doing. Nothing appeared to happen when I split the file even though it said all was completed. I tried to Concat the same file and it could not find the files. The size of the file appears to be similar (huge at 34.66 GB). When I tried to open the file, it could not find any clips.
    I admittedly corrupted the thing somehow. I realize that. I opened the contents package of the project file and found the tilde file. After I moved the non-tilde file in the trash, I renamed the tilde file to match the non-tilde project name and had the same results when opening that file, ZERO clips, media etc... available.
    Then I opened the media contents imovie folder for the project and see it is empty. I am not sure if this is normal, but the project file still says its a whopping 34.66 gb. Is anyone up to trying to help me with this?
    OK I FORGOT ONE THING:
    I made a copy of the DV files BEFORE I STARTED EDITING AND ASSEMBLING THIS THING. The media files are on my external drive. I can place those in the media contents package folder in the editing file, I guess. BUT, why would the editing project still show over 34 GB in size if it is emptied of media? If, as a last resort, I replace the media files with the originals, will my editing still be saved and recorded (titles, songs, narration, etc..) or will it be like starting over? Where is the record of what was edited and titled in an IMOVIE project file?
    It's my brother's wedding video. This qualifies as dumbest disaster yet.....
    Thanks for any advice,

    Hi lovinmymac - welcome to this forum and the Mac world in general!
    Yep, you sure have tinkered with your brother's precious wedding record!!
    I have no idea what the 'splitting' of the project file was all about, nor what caused the project to be placed in hidden folders.
    From here on it would be pure guess-work and trial and error:
    1. Try playing the Timeline movie - if that plays, it can be imported into a new iMovie project (should all else fail). This will create a large single clip - you will not be able to re-work titles etc but at least it will allow some editing.
    2. You could try dragging the contents of each folder into the Media folder of the original project - but they may have been corrupted by the rather extraordinary process that they have been subjected to (I have no idea for example what .wvf and .snp files are - Windows extensions??). Then open the project and see if anything functions.
    Important:
    You must not place imovie projects in a Windows-formatted external drive.
    You must not in future tinker with the contents of the iMovie project package, or re-name parts.
    Hopefully others will join in to help with suggestions.

  • Error 27, corrupt FCP File

    I closed down my titanium G4 last night, this afternoon i tried to open the project i was working on and i got a error 27 message, I just lost a month of work! needles to say like may FCP users we shut off autosave a month ago and have no backup! How can we repair the corrupted file? We have tried to repair using disk utlity after making a backup.
    of course,the disk utility didn't work. We are trying Data Rescue X and Disk Warrior for OS9 to repair it. I hope it works. If anyone knows how to repair fcp project files i'd like to hear how you did it or what software or method worked for you.

    Nathan,
    Ouch. You've still got the source tapes around, right? Most likely DW can right your directory problems, but not the specific corrupted media. Your best bet is to do this after running your utility of choice:
    1. Single out the bad media in your Finder. You'll know the bad ones because they won't preview in the Finder, nor play in QuickTime.
    2. Note which ones they are and delete them.
    3. Get the source tape(s), get 'em in the camera, and connect to your computer.
    4. Re-open your project and batch capture the newly off-lined files. You can still do this because the project retains the IO info.*
    *Big caveat is that your source tapes have proper timecode.
    Best to you.

  • Error insatllaing- corrupt installation file(s)

    After downloading iTunes for Windows (saved), installtion runs, then I get an message saying "some files are corrupt- download a fresh copy and try again".
    Tries, but no luck.
    Recently did a clean install on XP, but have yet to install SP2.Is SP2 required for install? Would that be causing the problem?
    Thanks

    I havent heard of that problem, yet. I don't know if it is that or not.
    I think its possible some sort of software that the installer is tripping over in your PC. This error message, actually, is more often caused by software conflicts than by "bad installation media or a corrupt installation file".
    I could see how bad RAM could possible cause that though, after thinking about it. Bad RAM will cause, mysteriously, issues when downloading software.
    IF you tried turning off the antivirus and firewall stuff, you could try swapping out the RAM stick for another one and see if that helps at all.
    Good Luck,
    Rachyl
