There must be something wrong when Apple updated QT7.1 to 7.2 because 7.2 is much more buggy than 7.1 and mysterious errors such as yours is not happened only on PC ver but also Mac ver.

"The movie contains an invalid data reference" error in subscribed albums

I'm subscribed to a MobileMe album that contains movies (m4v). Just a few of these movies work well and some other will not play. I get the following error message: "The movie contains an invalid data reference". It seems that these movies are not downloaded since I can't find the original file in my iPhoto Library. For those movies without this problem I can find the original file in the iPhoto Library. It's needed to say that this problems shows up only in iPhoto since I can see all movies at the Gallery app in iPhone/iPod/iPad and also online. Any ideas?

Your profile shows you at 10.5.7. If that's correct download and run the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update. It wouldn't hurt to reapply it even if you're at 10.5.8.
Also reapply QuickTime 7.5 for Leopard and Compatibility Update for QuickTime 7.5.5.

HT1338 I have a slide show in iphoto that I wish to export to iDVD, and when I attempt that I get and error message triangle, ! with the note "This movie contains an invalid data reference" iphoto help does not seem to have any suggestions, that work.

I have a slide show (project) that will not export. The error triangle appears with the message: "This movie contains an invalid data reference" What is the issue, and what is the solution?
jh

I found that the issue was with the title side, it had too many characters in the slide. When the number of characters was diminished, the show loaded without issue.

When exporting: Error -2014 "the movie contains an incorrect duration"

My end goal is to be able to edit .FLV files in iMovie, so I need to convert them to a usable format. I already have QT Pro, so it's the first thing I tried.
I have Perian, so the .FLV files play with no issues, but when I try to export them to something usable in iMovie, it makes it to the end of the export process and gives the following error:
"The movie contains an incorrect duration -2014"
Has anyone had this issue? Are there any known fixes?

Select an in and out point other than the very start and end (usually a good idea anyway as there is often a bunch of junk you don't need there) and then do edit trim to selection and then save as. Once in a MOV container try exporting.
You might also try to select, copy , paste in a new player window and then save as, that new one and export from it after saving as.

Does anyone know what "movie contains an invalid data reference" means.

We have three Mac Pros running OS X 10.6 on a network. One Mac often gives this error message with movie files in Quicktime 7.6 for files which are fine on the other Macs. Is there a way I can investigate what is actually going wrong? Thanks!

Pavilion dv6-3120sa. Error: 0x000024. Windows BCD store file contains some invalid information.

Pavilion dv6-3120sa. Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit.
PC boots into Windows and everything runs OK but I've lost the ability to launch Startup Repair.
I wanted to create a new partition and move personal files for three users to it so the C: drive is for OS and programs only. I hoped to assign the drive letter 'D' to the new partition.
As 4 primary partitions already exist, I had to make an extended partition and moved an existing partition to it. I removed the drive letters from the Recovery and HP_Tools partitions and assigned the new partition 'D'.
Fearing I'd done wrong, I found Recovery would not work then read the Recovery partition must remain as 'D' and tried to put things back as they were.
Partitions are now as follows: Primary partitons: System, OS on 'C', HP_Tools no drive letter plus a lot of unallocated space. Extended partition with Recovery as 'D'.
When I restart and press ESC then F11 and choose 'Launch Startup Repair' I get the message "The Windows Boot Configuration Data BCG store file contains some invalid information".
I explored with Bootrec and BCDEdit.
I've identified the 'ResumeObject' GUID but shied away from doing anything with it.
Description: Windows Recovery Environment
Status: 0x0000024
Info: The configuration for an element within the object is invalid in the Boot Configuration Data store.
I do not want to do anything that might affect the PC as it is working just fine, but would like to get 'Recovery' working properly.
When I restart, press ESC then F2 System Diagnostics, it takes me to HP_Tools OK as I can see and use the menu of items so it seems that partiotn is functioning.
I had made a Recovery CD and used it with the Bootrec and BCDEdit commands but am unsure what to do next as I don't want to make the situation worse by using the wrong command.
Please can you tell me what to edit and how?

Moving the Recovery partition to the extended partition is not going to work. I really don't understand why you are moving personal files to another partition and still expecting to use Recovery anyway when needed because it will wipe out the partition with personal files. Best to use external USB HDD for file storage.

"The movie contains an incorrect time value" error - saving a trimmed video

I am attempting to trim a video shot on my Samsung CL65. The video was shot in High Quality HD 1280 x 720. I open the video in QuickTime and then use the Trim command to remove the last part of the video and then close it to Save it. When I save it I get the following error: "The document SAM_0306.MP4 could not be saved as "SAM_0306". The movie contains an incorrect time value." I think this has to do with an encoding error in the original file or in the trimmed file but I have no idea how to get around it.
Any ideas?

This info probably won't help with your problem, but it's information for others who get this error.
It's probably the software that made the MP4. ffmpegX, for example, and the mencoder program inside it, do this with every H264 encoding when the video is longer than 1 hour. Time codes are correct up to 1 hour, then the seconds value gets wacky (3600 is added to it). Quicktime won't save a movie with a time code like 1:20:3623.120 (although it will correctly display 1:20:23 in the player).
Apple used to offer quicktime scripts that would allow you to see what the time code in a stream really looked like. Applescript appears to have officially and quietly gone missing, though, and those scripts are no longer available online as far as I can tell. There were some really handy other scripts that would allow you to view all sorts of movie properties and manipulate tracks (great for syncing poorly synced sound, for example), but time code problems like the above would invariably mean the movie couldn't be saved.

Packaging error 2 (The media contains invalid NALU length)

Hi,
I am trying to publish live stream from Adobe Flash client that can be viewed on iOS device. One known issue is that the Flash client does not support AAC audio encoder when it publishes a stream, but AAC is required for iOS viewing. Thus I am using ffmpeg to transcode the audio to work around this issue. The setup looks like following:
Publish(h.264+Speex) Pull Re-Publish(h.264+AAC)
Flash Client Publisher -------------------> AMS -----> ffmpeg ---------------------> AMS
The command line I use for ffmpeg is like this:
ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/livepkgr/orgstream -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict -2 -f flv rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/livepkgr/livestream
This setup works perfectly if the original stream is published by Flash Media Live Encoder client. However, if the stream is published by a web page using Flash ActionScript client, the iOS won't play the stream. The root cause is that HLS module failed to generate the proper TS file. I get the following error in the Apache server log.
[Sat Aug 17 15:56:50 2013] [error] mod_hlshttp [500]: Packaging error 2 (The media contains invalid NALU length) when processing /hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/livestream/livestreamNum0.ts
I've tried various things to narrow down the possibilities regarding what could be wrong. Here are some of my observations:
1) The problem has nothing to do with audio. If I do audio streaming only, it works well. So in various experiement, I simplified the problem by doing video stream only. When using ffmpeg to transcoding, I used '-an' to disable audio stream.
2) If I use ffmpeg to save the stream into MP4 file first (say 1 minute long), and then publish that file, I got the same issue when iOS device is trying to retrieve content. The MP4 file generated is fine though. I can view it using VLC.
3) If I use ffmpeg to transcode H.264 to H.264 (i.e. Not to use the "copy" transcoder), it then will work. However, because of the CPU usage constraints in my requirement, I cannot adopt this approach. Here is the command line that works:
ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/livepkgr/orgstream -vcodec libx264 -b:v 1000k -c:a aac -strict -2 -f flv rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/livepkgr/livestream
4) In all those experiments, the m3u8 file are generated correctly. In the stream directory I always saw meaningful size for f4f and f4x files.
5) The iOS client is able to view the original stream fine if the original stream is H.264 video only stream. (The 'orgstream', not the one republished by ffmpeg).
6) In all those experiements, a regular Flash viewer client is able to play the live stream with no issue.
Since I don't have access to source code to the Apache module for HLS (mod_hlshttp), I don't know how to proceed further. I appreciate any help from Adobe engineering team who have access to source code, and give me some hint what could go wrong. I can also provide further information regarding the published stream, e.g. the generated MP4 if it can help.
Thanks and best regards,
Jason

Upload from iAd Producer fails with error "The Ad contains an invalid banner type".

I worked half a day on an ad in iAd Producer, only to see it fails right after the upload with this error:
"The Ad contains an invalid banner type"
"iAd Workbench currently accepts standard banners. Remove all other banner types and try upload your banner again."
The error and the documentation give no hints on what these "standard banners" are exactly. My project is based on the Tap - Web iAd Blueprint, which requires a bunch of images to be created. I created all of these, regular images as jpeg, transparent images as png. At first the png's were normal (24-bit), but then I read in the help that 8-bit is required. Downgrading the png's to 8-bit didn't help to fix the error though. I also tried recreating the whole project, but it didn't help: same error.
Before the upload, I get this vague warning:
"Are you sure you want to upload your project with assets missing? There are 0 assets you haven't provided yet."
Sounds like a bug. This warning was there in my 1st and in my 2nd project, the 2nd one being the exact copy.
Finally I want to say that simulating in the simulator or Safari, or uploading to the sandbox works fine.
I'm using version 4.2 of iAd Producer on OS X 10.9.2.
Can anyone help me?
Has anyone been successful with the Tap - Web iAd Blueprint?

The Tap to Web blueprint for iPad contains banner types currently not supported in iAd Workbench. Delete the MRec and Full Page banners and you should be able to upload.

IWeb 08 error message "The file format is invalid"

I have been reading all of the problems regarding publishing iweb pages at the moment, I too cannot publish my site but I get a different error message
"The file format is invalid"
Can anyone help as to why I might be getting this message?
My iDisk seems to have a very old version of my website stored and I don't know where to look to find the current versions files?
Why hasn't iDisk got the most up to date version of my iWeb site and how do I get it to have?
Which folder on the iDisk should your iWeb files be stored in?
Sorry to ask so many questions but I am new to the publishing part after spending weeks building a site only to find it I get an error and my iDisk file structure holds old files.

When I opened iWeb I could see the most up-to-date version of my site, I could edit it and save it (to where I don't know). When I opened the web and sites folder on my iDisk it contained only the files from a previous version of my website created months ago.
I tried looking for the Domain file for my iWeb site and looked in my home folder, application support and then iWeb but the iWeb file in App support was empty.
I believe the iWeb file in App support is where the Domain file should be located, correct?
I have used Time machine to go back a week and have located the domain file and have restored it. The domain file now sits in the iWeb folder in App support in my Home, where it should be.
Now when I load iWeb I see the version of my website that was created a week ago which is fine but iDisk still has the old file structure of my site from months ago.
Can I delete the old file structure completely from the Sites folder on my iDisk? this should remove the old version of my website shouldn't it?
How do I get the restored version of my website to appear in iDisk?
Do I simply copy the Domain file into the sites folder on iDisk?
My iWeb files on Mobile me are also the months old versions, how do I update these so my new site is all that I can see?
Any answers to my 'File format' problem when trying to upload, is it because I don't have my iWeb files in the correct places?

QTPro Could not save file "The movie contains an in correct time value"

QT Pro 7.6.6 Could not save file “The movie contains an in correct time value”
I’m exporting files out of Priemer Pro CS5 with the H.264 “vimeo HD settings” .mp4 files and the files look dull, low contrast and low color saturation, when played in QT10. From what I’ve read it’s a gamma problem with QT10. I also hear the files from FCP have the same problem, so it's not a Premiere Pro problem.
The fix is to open the file in QT Pro, adjust the blend in the video track and re-save, however I try to save the file I get an error that says “The movie contains an in correct time value”
Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
I’m on a MacPro 12 Core with 14gb memory
OS 10.6.5
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mark

Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
The "Save As..." option always saves a copy of the data to an MOV file container. Minor property changes will allow your to use the "Save" option which stores only the changed properties to the same file in its original file container. Unfortunately, major changes will automatically invoke the "Save As..." routines even though you selected the "Save" option. If you must place the content in an MP4 file container, you can use the "Save As..." option in QT Streamclip to re-save the "fixed" MOV file to an MP4 file container. However, note that extraneous track content may, if present, not be carried over to the MP4 container.

Hi cfgolf,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities. I agree with your assessment that something is going on with that previous backup. If you restored from that backup and the issue continues, I would recommend restoring and Set up as new. Before you restore, make sure you Transfer content so that you can sync it back after setting up as new. The instructions on how to Transfer content and Set up as new are both listed in this article.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
2. Transfer content
Before you erase your device, take a few minutes to transfer your content from your device to your computer to ensure that all your critical data is safe.
6. Set up as new
Complete the setup assistant. When prompted to set up your device, select Set Up as New iPhone and tap Next to continue.
Skip the Apple ID sign-in, in case the original issue was related to any of your content on iCloud.
Note: After setting up as new, you will need to enter the Visual Voicemail password for iPhone (on carriers that support Visual Voicemail). If you've forgotten the password, contact your carrier to help you reset it.
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Cheers,
-Joe

Ugh: Error [0x800700a1] The specified path is invalid.

This is very frustrating.
The more I use Windows built-in backup the more fragile it seems to be.
The D drive is a local drive and the path is valid.
Running check disk finds no problems. The drive is mostly empty.
I tried with and without the anti-virus software, same problem.
There are no other server errors to indicate a problem with the drive or the path.
I ran vssadmin list writers, and none of them returned any errors.
Why would the backup return an invalid path error, for a path that is valid?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
James.

Hi Sriram,
Thanks for getting back to me!
I'll try to mail them to you before the end of the week.
A quick question:
if the backup failed to find and copy a single file or directory (for whatever reason), why does it abort the whole process?
The file in question was not critical, so having it missing from the backup would only have been a minor inconvenience.
Obviously, you want to log such an event very clearly, but it does not make sense to me for it to kill the whole process...
Will this be improved in future versions? I have to admit, I've not seen much backup software stop because of such a trivial error, except maybe "copy" from the command prompt.
I think the built-in Window Server 2008 R2 backup software is very promising, and overall, I like it better than the old NT Backup crud.
However, from my limited use, it still seems rough around the edges; too many glitches and problems, something you don't want to see from your backup software.
Thanks much,
James.
