Couldnt Save Media File

Hi.
This is what happens when i drap an mp3 onto a page in iweb. I know everyone else gets this error and im wondering what to do about it. It says:
The following errors occured while trying to save this document:
Type: | Description:
Couldn't save media file | Filename.mov
Anyone who can help........ please do as im so frustrated!!!!
Thanks, Ben

Usually what I'd do at this point is to work back to a point where it does work and see if that helps you determine if there's a problem file. For example, delete all the mp3's then save. Quit, reopen iWeb, add one, then save. If that works, add another then save. If it fails on the first one, then it's more of a general problem that may be easier to resolve. If it fails on a specific one, then you can attempt to convert that file to see if that helps.

"couldn't save media file" error when saving

I'm using Keynote 2.0.2 and for some reason, it won't let me save my presentation when it includes a 3.3Gb quicktime .mov file.
The presentation runs perfectly on my laptop, but when I save, the spinning ball appears and then I get this:
"The following errors occurred while trying to save this document:
Couldn't save media file - week3edit.mov"
This is driving me nuts, especially as I can insert exactly the same .mov file into a PowerPoint presentation and have it save no problem!
What could be causing this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Barry

Use only numbers or letters in the file name. I've
seen failures in files that use even simple
punctuation. Cynthia's sound.mov should be
cynthias_sound.mov.
The other issue could be "protected" files. You can't
share iTunes Music Store files. If the file extension
is .m4p the file is protected.
These are .mp4 files that I converted. No copyright issues. And there is a space in the file name, but there are in all the other file names as well.
Weird, huh?

How to save media files (mp3) on ipad?

I have seen that iPad only plays songs/videos directly if we try to download them even from download link? Can anyone help me how to save those songs/videos instead of playing them without using third party application? or if third part then which one apps should i have to use?

First thing, media files are like usual files (binary files to be specific). So, all the methods which are applicable to binary files can be used for media files as well.
1. upload media files into local drive (ex...from c:\tmp1\movie.mpg to d:\tmp2\movie.mpg)This is very simple file copying, see: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/bytestreams.html] .
I have used data sink. but i am stuck.. it is not storing..Why you tried data sink? Do you have a processor to transcode the media file into another format ? Is it transcoding that you want to achieve?
2. for transferring files over n/w, I know how to zip and unzip other files and process those at client side..but i want to know, Is there any special method available for 'media files'?.No (atleast I don't know....)
@captfoss: I agree with you.
Thanks!

Save media file captured from client to server

Hi all,
I need to capture webcam at client side and save it to the server.
I am thinking of two solution:
1) save file to client computer then upload to server.
2) streaming to server simultaneously while capturing.
If I choose the second method, I should you the RTP feature right (I don't have exp with it)? Or the first method is better?
Thanks you all

If your usage scenerio doesn't involve the word "live" then you want to avoid anything that involves the term "real-time" as any actual real-time system intentionally drops data anytime the processing gets behind.
Option 1 is going to be easier to implement, but option 2 will save the user some time. Option 1 is going to be less hardware intensive, so it really depends on whether or not you want to (1) invest more work upfront to make your program terminate faster (2) care whether or not your users have to wait there while the file uploads after the recording ends (3) want to give your users the ability to review the video before they upload it (which I would recommend for most applications).
I'd definately just do option 1 unless you have a good reason to need option 2.

Media cache files do I check the save media box

I am trying to optimize my system and under the preferences under media it is set to the default on the C: drive. Here is my setup I have a 1TB C:\ for OS and programs and four 1TB drives setup Raid 5 which is my D:\ drive and 24GB of Ram. If I understand correctly I should set my Media cache files and Media cache Database to the D:\ drive? If I check Save media files next to originals dose this do the same thing? Also with 24GB of ram what and where should I set my pagefile to?

Your raid is nearly three times faster than your boot disk, so I would put the media cache files next to your projects on the raid. With 24 GB memory, the location of the pagefile is not really important, since it will hardly be used, due to the good memory management of PR. If you use on-board IHCR, you may put the pagefile on C because the IHCR is pretty slow in comparison to a dedicated controller.

Downloads fail to operate i can't save or view any downloaded media files

I can not save or view any form of media from any website. The 'download window' will initiate and indicate the file is being/has been downloaded but nothing happens ie it does not get saved in the designated folder or the media players all report a failure and won't play. I am able to download all media files in IE7 . I am also having trouble with .rtf files sent via e-mails s not being read by MS office 2010 (may be a separate issue) but other file formats like .doc and .xls files open correctly.

If the files really get downloaded something must be removing them. Perhaps some security programs like anti virus or spy-ware removal tools are in action here?!
If the players reports failure and won't play please take a note of what they report caused the failure.
About the .rtf files sent via e-mail not read by MS Office 2010, can they be opened with some other viewer like Wordpad?

Adobe media encoder cc will not save output file destination

Hello all,
Hopefully a simple issue here. I'm running windows 7 and just downloaded AME CC. I've tried over and over to save my output file destination in Preferences and have saved my media cache files to the same location and the saves will not take. I was able to get it to go to the drive and folder I specified ONLY when I clicked the "Match Sequence Settings" tab in the AME pop up window. My settings need to be different, so I leave the box unchecked. Anyone else having this issue? Can anyone help me out getting this simple function to work? I saw a short thread on Creative Cow dated February 2013 with the same concern from a user and I did not see a resolution at the end. I have not been able to find anything on this anywhere. Sure, I can continue to manually save each file I render in AME, but it's a big PITA. I finally was in between projects so I downloaded the CC upgrade and replaced my CS6 version and now I have this simple problem from an alleged upgrade? Help please.
Thank you.
Todd

Premiere sequences queued to AME from the Export Settings dialog won't honor AME's output path preference. Instead, they default to the last path used from Exp. Settings via Premiere. However, you should be able to get the result you want by queue-ing to AME's default path once from Premiere, which will make it Premiere's default as well.
Or, you could drag and drop your sequence from the Project panel directly into AME's queue; that will use AME's preference instead of Premiere's default path.

how do i find or save a media file sent via a sms message

If you're talking about a photo, tap on the thumbnail in the Messages App, then at the bottom of the screen, you should see an icon that looks like a box with an arrow pointing out of it. Tap that, and you will have the option to save it.

How to render and save a file as windows media file or mp3?

I have worked in Sony Vegas 9 and I was hoping Adobe Premier Pro CC was similar--- but its not. I can't figure out how to render and save a file as a windows media or mp3 or in any format for that matter.

Search for exporting in the help file
Not all for PProCC, but The PPro/Encore tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 may also help, with more help in message #5
PS - rendering is the process of creating temporary files to aid in timeline playback, while exporting creates new files

What are the advantages/disadvantages to "Save Media Cache files next to originals when possible?

I just noticed that I have over 7,000 files and 46.7 GB in my Media Cache Files folder. I know I can just delete all the files in this folder and Premiere will automatically rebuild the files when needed. But, are there any advantages or disadvantages to saving the files next to the originals? I assume that means that it will write these files wherever I'm storing my media files...

I'd say storing your cache with your media would decrease your performance. Having them on separate volumes/drives means that Premiere can read/write from them at the same time, instead of having to read/write one or the other, one at a time.
Additionally, PPro is create cache files from your original media, and it's always best practice to read from one drive, while writing to another.
TL;DR It's for Performance. ! ! ! !

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

Payment media file not saved on the local PC in FBPM

Dear all,
In transaction FBPM, if I choose the option ouput to the file system and point out the path to the folder where the file to be generated on my local PC, by the running of the transaction I am getting the following error:
BFIBL02182 - The file XXXXXXXXX cannot be opened.
If I want to download the payment media file I have to download it manualy.
I don't have some access limitation on my computer.
For this error I found the following explanation in teh forums: The error message BFIBL02182 normally is showing because the directory that was used when starting the payment media program (for example, in background processing), cannot be read online. You should therefore choose a directory that can be written to and read by different machines.
Acctually I don't understand this.
I would like the system to download the file automatically by the running of the transaction.
Please could help, what I have to do, ? How to check if the chosen by me dirictory is possible to be read online?
Thanks in advance for the help?
Stefka

Hi,
Please validate the Payment medium: Selection Variant in T-Code: OBPM4 and then search the variant in T-Code FBPM, for the relevant Payment Medium Format, type the File Name something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Payment
Save
After the payment run is completed. You need to go to Menu in F110 screen and select Environment-> Payment Media->DME Administration, select the line and click Export button and select Download.
This is the only way you can download when the presentaion server is used.
Hope this helps....
Thanks,
Ashok

I'm not able to save any files on an none apple external hard drive, what can i do to make it work?

I bought a omega 320GB external hard drive so a friend could save the files off an old windows laptop i had but now when i try and open the files on my mac, it doesn't let me. i'm also not able to save any file on to this hard drive either! can some one please help me?

The drive has the NTFS format, which the Mac OS can read but can't write to. Copy the files from the external drive onto your Mac, then reformat the external drive using Disk Utility, creating a Mac OS Extended volume and using the GUID partition scheme. Then you'll be able to write to the drive. Note that reformatting erases everything from the drive, so don't do it until after you've saved the drive's contents to other media.
