D750 "unexpected end of file" for NEF that loads fine into Capture NX-D

I have a NEF that produces an "unexpected end of file" error in both Lightroom 5.7 and PS CC (both with Camera Raw 8.7). The same NEF loads and converts fine in Nikon's Capture NX-D V1.0.2. The NEF also converts fine into a JPEG using the D750's in-camera NEF processing function. I can provide the NEF to Adobe for analysis.

"Btw @engerim, any chance you were using both SD card slots on your D750 when you got this NEF and had them configured in backup mode? If so I'd like to see the same NEF from the other card if you have it."
Tried the following this morning:
Menu -> Photo shooting menu -> Role played by card in Slot 2 = Backup (second option)
Then I started an interval shooting with 200 images, and went for breakfast ;-)
Normally one would expect the images are 100% the same in both slots (checked with md5sum) but they are not (this makes this a bit more difficult).
Anyhow when opening the images in Camera Raw the images affected by this issue ("unexpected end of file" error) were the exact same files in both slots. All other images were fine in both slots. Files are here: http://stuff.inxsoft.net/tmp/d750-raw-with-issues.zip
All images included in the zip have the problem except DSC_4078.NEF (which I included for reference and it will also allow you to see the difference in checksums in both slots). Anyhow we can rule out its an SD Card issue or buffer issue.

Any solution for "unexpected end-of-file encountered"?

Using Mac 10.7.4 and CS5 Extended on an Imac 27.
Today, working on a large file PSD suffix and Photoshop froze. and when I restarted i got "unexpected end of file " error message on the file i was working on, but on several other files also in that folder.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Can you rebuild or restore the file in any way?
The file shows on the hard drive now as 118.6 megs.
The files show up in Bridge, but with small Previews.

It doesn't help you with this file, but unexpected failure is precisely what the new Photoshop CS6 Auto-Save feature helps with. If Photoshop were to crash/freeze/be forced closed/whatever, next time you start it it brings back whatever you were working on in the last few minutes before the failure.

What causes 'Unexpected end-of-file' error?

Hi,
I am a photographer and an avid Lightroom user. I have two camera's (Nikon D700 and D300) and two computers, a desktop PC and a MacbookPro. Lightroom is installed on both computers.
For the last three photoshoots I have had this problem where 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 images in Lightroom on my desktop PC suddenly gives a 'Unexpected end-of-file' error. First I thought it was my camera. But then I loaded the images onto my MacbookPro and they worked fine. Then I took some images with my other camera, loaded them on to my Desktop PC, and, voila, same problem.
The problem specified: the image stops rendering a preview. A dull preview appears. At the top of the screen the message appears: "An unexpected end-of-file occurred." The histogram window stays empty and the image can not be developed.
I have browsed through this forum some looking for the cause and the fix. There are some mentions of it, but they all date back to 2007.
I run LR 2.2 on Windows XP SP2 and on a MacbookPro with OS X, version 10.5.8.
Please help me understand the cause of this problem, and help me find a fix?
Thanks,

While the corruption in your .NEF file could come from any one of a number of sources, here is a way to recover at least some of the information if you own Adobe Acrobat. Your .NEF file should contain a smaller JPEG file created by your Nikon camera when the picture was taken. Even if the .NEF file is corrupt, the JPEG may well be intact, and you can tell that's the case if a preview is visible in Lightroom or Bridge.
If you try to print it from Bridge or Lightroom, though, you will get an error. You can get around this by loading up a CODEC that will let you preview the files in Windows Photo Gallery. Nikon has one available for download to use with Vista x32 at http://www.nikonimglib.com/nefcodec/index.html.en, but it doesn't support Vista x64, so if you're running that (as I am) you'll need a second party CODEC such as the one available from http://www.ardfry.com/Products.htm with a 15-day trial download available. They also have a DNG CODEC which I have not tried.
With that CODEC installed and your system rebooted, preview the damaged NEF file in Windows Photo Gallery. Choose the "Print" option and select the "Adobe PDF" printer. Choose the "Postscript Custom Paper Size" option, and set the dpi resolution to the highest available (4000).
Go to the "Options" link on the bottom right of the window and uncheck the "Sharpen For Printing" box, as you can do this yourself with later processing. Then go to the "Printer Properties" link to see the Adobe PDF settings.
Go to the Adobe PDF Settings tab and choose Default Settings: High Quality Print, which will set the resolution to 2400 dpi.
You want to have Acrobat interfere as little as possible with the output, so select "Edit" from the Default Settings tab, which will bring up the "High Quality Print - Adobe PDF Settings" dialog. Here, turn off the "Optimize for fast web view" check box, then go to the "Images" folder and set the "Downsample" setting to Off and the pixels per inch to 2400. Also, set "Compression" to Off.
If you're going to do this in the future, you can also "Save As ..." your settings for future use with a name like "Fix Bad NEF Files."
Print the file to a designated folder. It won't be quite as good as the NEF file would have been, but at least you haven't lost the shot.

Very strange bugs - Unexpected end-of-file - LR database problem

I really like the concept and GUI of LR, but bugfixing is urgently needed. Of course I am not happy that I spent money for the current quality of software (Windows version).
Before the problem described below occured I performed some develop actions on several images without any problems.
After doing some simple cropping in the Develop module of LR the display for one single image became brown (in loupe and film strip). The problem is singular for one image.
Then I restarted LR.
Now LR displayed a message saying "Unexpected end-of-file" at top inside the image display. (Has anybody out there ever seen this?)
That message is obviously misleading: The image NEF-file is untouched. The xmp sidecar is new of course. Apparently the database entry is broken!!!
Deleting the xmp sidecar doesn't solve the problem.
Then I told LR to remove the faulty image from the LR database without physically deleting it.
Then I checked database consistency without any problem report.
Then I tried to reconnect the image for that folder.
The image is not reconnected. It doesn't show up in LR.
Then I copied the image outside LR to a new folder and told LR to import the new folder.
The image was not imported by LR. LR is saying it is a duplicate. Obviously it is not removed correctly from the LR database even I told LR to remove it.
After some attempts (sorry I don't remember exactly) I could redisplay the problem image. Now the image is displayed correctly again. But LR is saying in a dialog box that I will be unable to make changes to that image. The grid display has a triangular exclamation sign (not a rectangular one!!!).
Later I told LR to delete (not only remove) the image physically.
Afterwards I copied the image into the OS folder.
Afterwards I was able to reconnect the missing image to the LR folder.
Afterwards I could continue working with the develop module at that image.
BUG 1) Why could this problem occur at all? ("Unexpected end-of-file")
BUG 2) Obviously the image has not been correctly removed from the LR database although I told LR to do this.
No, my disks are not full.

HELP! 'unexpected end of file' error-Is there a fix?! OS 10.4.11

Getting 'Unexpected end of file' error when trying to open a file (that's a rush job) in QuarkXpress 6.5. I attributed it to lack of memory, so I immediately backed up all files and HD to an external drive to free up space. Restarted and prayed... Quark launched, but file won't open. Same error.
Have: 2.1 GHz PPC G5, 1.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM OS 10.4.11 (pre Intel)
Capacity: 232.8GB, Available: 163GB, Used 69.6GB
Have been searching help site for 5 hours looking for answer and am DESPERATE! I saved changes regularly, but can't access this file at all... I've lost 2 full days & nights working on this project that has to be done in 2 days.
Ran Disk Utility, but no success opening this specific Quark file (Quark will launch- it's just this file that's affected). Have tried to down load Applejack, etc. but keep finding out they only support OS 10.5 or higher. (Haven't been able to afford upgraded system since Intel requires purchase of full verions of graphics software instead of upgrades to the tune of $6k).
PLEASE, I only know enough to be dangerous, so ANY help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Savvy folks- if I'm in the wrong place, please send me a link where I can solve this personal catastrophy.
Many thanks-in-advance

I think you best do over your work from scratch. You need to make backup copies of the files regularly. You need to have copies on multiple disks or flash drives.
I saved changes regularly
You should know that this isn't sufficient. You need to have multiplte copies of the file. Backup anyone? Could be the file structure got messed up. Could be Quark messed up the file.
You need to get a newer machine. G5's are not reliable any more. Need to see if Quark will run in compatiblity mode on an intel machine. You should at least get an external firewire drive from owc. Old hd's are not reliable.
Boot in safe mode. Hold down the shift key when powering on the machine. This will run a disk repair program. Boot up will take longer as the harddrive is scanned and repaired.
See this article:

Or from:
    mrtotes article :
    Boot from the OS X Install disk and from the Menu Bar choose Disk Utility. Then run "Repair Disk" and "Repair Disk Permissions" on your hard disk.

Bulk Insert Failure: Unexpected end of file

Hi all,
I have a Bulk Insert task which pulls data from a .csv file to SQL server table.
It works fine 99 out of 100 times, but sometimes it throws the following error in production.
"System exception: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information
about the error.Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.". "
My Client says that there was no change to the file and it runs fine the next time.Its a error which I could not reproduce in development.
I have an interface prior to this bulk insert interface to check whether the file is completely available(i.e i try to open the file and check whether its used by any other process).
I'm supposed to give an answer for why it fails sometimes. Your thoughts on this?
Rajkumar

The Bulk insert task is used in SSIS package. The error Posted in my first post is what I got from SSIS..
Why don't you use Data Flow task? BULK INSERT is fast, but not much error control.
BOL quote ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141679.aspx ) : "Error Handling in Data
When a data flow component applies a transformation to column data, extracts data from sources, or loads data into destinations, errors can occur. Errors frequently occur because of unexpected data values. For example, a data conversion fails because a column
contains a string instead of a number, an insertion into a database column fails because the data is a date and the column has a numeric data type, or an expression fails to evaluate because a column value is zero, resulting in a mathematical operation that
is not valid.
Errors typically fall into one the following categories:
Data conversion errors, which occur if a conversion results in loss of significant digits, the loss of insignificant digits, and the truncation of strings. Data conversion errors also occur if the requested conversion is not supported.
Expression evaluation errors, which occur if expressions that are evaluated at run time perform invalid operations or become syntactically incorrect because of missing or incorrect data values.
Lookup errors, which occur if a lookup operation fails to locate a match in the lookup table.
Many data flow components support error outputs, which let you control how the component handles row-level errors in both incoming and outgoing data. You specify how the component behaves when truncation or an error occurs by setting options on individual
columns in the input or output. For example, you can specify that the component should fail if customer name data is truncated, but ignore errors on another column that contains less important data."

CS5.1 Camera Raw Unexpected end of file error

I ran into this error a couple of times (the problem would not resolve for these few affected photos) when editing my raw files in my CS5.1 trial.
"Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."
I could not get around opening these particular raw files and have come to the theory that these files are corrupted due to the limitations in SD card write speeds. I never had this problem on my D80 when working in CS4 or CS5, but then again the D80 doesnt shoot 20Mb raw files. My D7000 shoots continuous 6fps I'm shooting large, fine JPEG + RAW which pumps out around 25 Mb per photo. At 6fps this is somewhere around 150 Mb/s... My SD Card is a Sandisk 8gb extreme class 6 which has a rated write speed of 22Mb/s but its been a while since I've seen the documented number.
I took one of these raw files and opened it with Photomatix 3 (HDR Software) to create a Psuedo HDR file. The product was obviously corrupted.
Anyone care to comment on other culprits and solutions?
Cheers,
Alex

Files DO get corrupted, often by flash memory errors, sometimes by transfer problems. Revisit all the steps in your process and maybe try transferring the files to your computer differently (e.g., use a flash card reader instead of the camera cable and see if there's a difference in the files).
One thing that almost universally ISN'T necessary to worry about is that your flash memory could be corrupted if you take photos too quickly. CF write speed bottlenecks are dealt with properly by all the camera makers, generally by slowing down the picture-taking process when the camera's RAM buffers fill. You DO have to remember not to cut power to the camera while it is still writing to the flash memory, however, which can take some time after you finish shooting.
You should reformat your flash card in your camera, and personally I would treat that particular card as suspect until you prove that it can be filled and every image is complete and uncorrupted. You might even want to fill it with "junk" shots just to test it.

File Error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

I saved a painting I was working on in photoshop for the past week, went to open it up this morning and got the following error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
I tried opening it up in other programs with no luck. Any suggestions?

Probably not good news I'm afraid. Hopefully you use Time Machine to keep regular backups of your work?
Have you tried to open the file in Graphic Converter (shareware application)?
I find file corruption practically non-existant these days. I would suggest that you maintain your machine. This can be done with Onyx http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html. Run all the tasks in the "automation" section of this application.
If you can do a drive check - checking your hard drive for physical issues might also be a good idea.

"Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."

I have gotten this error message a few times now. "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."
My file many layers... a total of 100mgs+. But I work with this kind of file often, so... hmm. It won't open. Is it corrupted? Any way to restore? I can go back in time with our 'time machine program... but that brings me back to having a previous version and many hours of lost work.
I use a Mac OS x 10.5.8, Photoshop version 6 from the 2003 CS suite.
Thanks for any input or advice. Rebecca Doyle

"could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. what can i do?

I've been working on a motion file in photoshop for my thesis and i tried opeining it today and it wont let me open the file. it says "could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered".
I've saved the file every 5 minutes or whenever I do work but now i cant even open it at all. I NEED HEEEEEELP PLEASE!

If it is in the forums (and actually, all over the place on the web) and it is a Photoshop issue in both Windows and Mac, I just assumed is.
The unexpected eof could be a hardware issue or possibly owed to individual set-ups as it is not an issue that plagues all (or even an ostensible majority of) users.
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
