Error -2048: Quicktime refuses to open Jobs iPhone SDK Presentation

Hi,
I have had this happen to me during the special iMac event last summer and currently with the iPhone SDK event. I get the error message:
"Error -2048: Couldn't open the file m08770365506i_650ref.mov because it is not a file that Quicktime understands."
I have tried using Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. Same problem. I tried reinstalling iTunes+Quicktime. I still get the error. Any ideas?
Mike
PS I have screenshots if that helps

I was afraid of that.. :-(
Yeah... well, I've tried to import the files to iTunes, both through drag'n drop and by Files/Add to Library but nothing, zip, zero happens. Not even an error message appears. I have no problem with adding mpeg4 files but I get no reaction when trying to add the wma's...

Quicktime refuses to open WMV files

Hi,
As title, really. It just refuses, whatever I try. I have 'Flip4Mac' installed, and have tried unticking the box 'open sequences with QuickTime', but ticked or unticked, no way does a WMV wanna open. The error is simply a dialogue box with 'Error Opening the Sequence', and below it, 'Impossible to Open the Sequence'.
This error is encountered, irrespective of the file that I try to open.

Use the Movie Info window of QuickTime Player to view
the codecs used.
A Google search using codec name +Mac should help you
find what you need.
Do you mean "APPLE-I" when the film is playing? No mention of codecs in there. I have, in order ...
source: the name of the film
format: 320 x 240 millions 8-bit, unsigned, mono, 22,050 KHz
IPS: 15
IPS read: (available during playback)
size: 19.75 MB
speed: 434.90 kbits/s
position: 00:00:00.10/15
length: 00:06:20.1/15
size 100: 320 x 240 pixels
actual size: 320 x 240 pixels (100%)
Some of those fields, I had to translate from French, so they might not be what you have on English/American versions of Quicktime.

An mov file which play fine in quicktime on my mac mini will not play in quicktime on a windows 7 unit. Error 2048, quicktime does not understand this file. Any ideas as to why it works in mac version of quicktime and not windows version?

The .mov file sis downloaded from my Sony camera. It is not altered and plays fine on the Mac mini using QuickTime. It will not play on a Windows 7 unit using the latest version of Quicktime. Why would that be? Why will one version of QuickTime work and another not work?

Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?

Problems with a QuickTime movie file. Error 2048 message

I am having problems with a QuickTime file.
The file is on a TDK 4GB pen drive.
I can access the file without problem directly from the pen drive.
I am using a Sony VAIO Laptop running Windows 7.
QuickTime version 7.71.80.42.
When I transfer the file to a folder or upload to send via e-mail on Hotmail and then try to open it I receive an Error 2048 message - "Couldn't open the file.......because it is not a file that QuickTime understands.
Any help would be appreciated.

You should be fine: a standard DVD can contain up to 120 minutes of video, but this includes menus etc.
iDVD is not concerned with file sizes, just length. It will automatically compress the iMovie file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2 - which is 4.7GB for 120 minutes!
I have once made a family DVD 115 minutes long, but after the family either protested or fell asleep, I have tried to keep them under 75 minutes!

Application Console refuses to open

I just downloaded Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro, (previously from TIger 10.4) and I seem to have a few problems. When I download practically anything, it becomes corrupted. I never had this problem before the upgrade. I switched to 32 bit encryption instead, it seemed to help. Recently, I downloaded Photoshop off of the producers website. As far as i know, it is not corrupted, but when i open it, (I have DiskImageMounter set as default), i receive a warning message that reads:
The following disk images couldn't be opened:
Image: Reason:
Photoshop12LS1. dm not recognized
after reading online, i decided to refer to the application "Console" to look for errors. It refuses to open. (even after restarting). VLC refuses to open, and on rare occasions i can open QuickTime. Do you think this is a compatibility issue?
if it helps, I made sure SL would be compatible (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor). So im not sure whats up. any help would be great.

If you upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard, there's no way you could have done that by downloading Snow Leopard. Now, if you meant that you upgraded by installing Snow Leopard on top of Tiger, that's a different issue. Somewhere along the line something got corrupted. Your best bet is to reinstall Snow Leopard; afterwards, launch Software Update and install everything available, repair permissions, and restart. Now, delete the Photoshop item you downloaded and download another.

QuickTime Pro will not open .wma (Error #2048)

I have a few .wma movie files that I have created in (the horrible) "Windows Live Movie maker".
I wanted to be able to play these files on my iTunes, so I foolishly purchased QuickTime Pro after reading the description. "QuickTime 7 Pro can convert your media to different formats, so you can watch a movie or video on your iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV..". But it refuses to open any .wma files so that I can convert them. I keep getting the error message #2048. I read somewhere that installing new codecs might help...? If so, please treat me like 5 year old and explain to me where to start with that. Or should I just give up on it altogether?
It is really frustrating... I've ripped my hair so much I have bald spots and they are growing by the minute
Any solutions for this problem will be very much appriciated! Thanks!

Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

wmv is a Windows Media format. I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
You need
Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
or play the files with VLC
VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
While you're at it you might install:
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

Can't open Quicktime .mov file (Error -2048)

I can't open and run an 11mb QuickTime .mov file that was created, I'm pretty sure, on a Mac. I'm using a PC running QuickTime 7.2. Colleagues using PCs with QuickTime 7.0 and 7.1 can't run it either. The guy who created the file apparently has no problem running it on a Mac. My full error measage is "Error -2048: Coundn't open the file because it is not a file that QuickTime understands". Any ideas anyone?

Ask the guy that made the file what codecs are used in it. Mac users can open, save and edit .wmv files and he may have put one inside a .mov container. It will never play on a PC unless saved as .wmv extension.

Quicktime error -2048 when i try to open a video

hello, i have a bunch of different types of videos that i downloaded from limewire. in order for me to put those on my ipod, i need to open quicktime and go to file> open file and when i do that, i click one of my videos that are MPEG or MPG i try to open it but a little sign pops up and says
error -2048: the file is not a movie file how can i turn my video files into movie files? then how do i put them on my ipod after that? please help me

download VLC media player, it should be able to play files that quicktime cannot and with more fetures than quicktime pro for FREE (beleve it or not)!
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/vlcmediaplayer.html
you mentioned these files were downloaded from limewire, it is possible that they are simply currupt, limewire files (especially when they are not completely finished downloading) may not open. When they are 100% complete they may play no problem even if you are getting -2048 when they are downloading.

Error 2048 under Windows 7 64bit when opening DNxHD .mov

Hi people,
i'm experiencing a weird problem while trying to open a DNxHD encoded .mov file with quicktimeplayer under windows 7 64 bit.
getting the error 2048: "Couldn't open the file because it's not a file that QuickTime understands."
filesize is 5,6 GB and im running Quicktime 7.7.5, the file was encoded using avid media composer.
Other (smaller, around 2GB) files from the same source and using the same codec will play back fine!
This file is running fine on my macbook (10.8.5), but will fail to play under windows 7 bootcamp or on my PC.
I've read about filesize-limits around 4 GB, is there some truth to that?
thanks for your help
EDIT: i need to be able to play back the file with quicktime-components (not vlc or something like that) because im working with protools, which is using quicktime for video-playback.

Thanks for your reply nyc.
But the code i copied is in fact an extract of the USBDescriptors.c present in this directory.
If I try to execute this example, the result is the same.

Cannot open corrupted .mov file - error 2048 unsupported format

Hi all,
I have an important corrupted video file and I have tried every way I can think of to open it, but to no avail...
When I open it with Quicktime, an "error 2048 unsupported format" shows up, even though other videos I took are fine.
I can't open this video with ANY softwares including VLC and friends (trust me, I tried LOADS of them)..
After doing MUCH research I understand that either the header/closing part of the file is messed up.
Is anyone able to teach me how to fix those parts?
I'm really at the end of my wits and I'm a just beginner to hex-editing @.@ Better still, if you are able to take a look at this video for me...
I'll be very glad if anyone can help me out with this as I really wish to recover the video, this is for an important friend, thanks in advance!
P.s. the video is about 120mb in size

Hi
Im using the tool called SUPER.
Its free and you can convert any file format to any other file format
Maybe it would be possible to convert his faulty file to another format and ten you could try to open it again using VLC player or other application.

Quick time error 2048 - cant open file

I just downloaded quick time and cant open some files. They are designed for quick time but when I try and open them I get the 2048 error message. I have deleted and re-installed the quck time and am still getting the message.
Any ideas ?

Error -2048 implies MPEG-2 file format which QuickTime Player doesn't play without additional software:

Disgust at Apples refusal to open up the iPhone.

I recently purchased 3 iPhones, and own 3 Mac's but I must say that Apple's complete refusal to even allow discussion on this forum of opening the iPhone up so that others can write applications for it is absolutely disgusting. If Apple starts this "its proprietary" stuff, then I have probably bought my last thing from them. Linux here I come.
I think that Bill Gates must have found a new home in Cupertino.
There are a lot of good things about the phone, but there are a lot of bad things too. Opening the phone up will help fix the things that need fixing and will open entire new reasons to buy the phone.
The calculator is worse than a $5.00 special I could buy at WalMart, you can't even backup if you mistype a digit, something many $5.00 calculators can do.
The Calender and Contacts are really buggy and missing features. I constantly have to go to my laptop to fix something I can't fix on the iPhone.
I think that Apple needs to "JAILBREAK" the phone themselves if they really believe in being "Open".
Web Apps are not of any value if you don't have coverage and the few I've tried are BAD!!!
Apple, what is so wrong with letting other people write applications for the iPhone. Some will be bad, some will be good. Stop swimming against the tide.

Wolf Nut,
First, I would suggest you take a look at this site, which may require registering for a free Apple Developer Connection account:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/
In the lower right hand corner is a link to the text of the announcement Steve Jobs has already made in regards to a SDK:

Hope this helps,

Premiere Elements - Error 2048 couldn't open file......Question

Windows 8.1
6 gigs of ram
I get the following error when I attempt to open a created file for viewing.
"Error- 2048: Couldn't open file.....not a file Quicktime understands.
I am creating the file in the default NTSC 720 format. I get the same message with trying to wide screen format.
This error seems new as it did not use to happen.
Can someone explain how to correct this error. In researching the problem I came across:
1. trying third party repair software (which doesn't seem to solve the problem.)
2. that the error refers to an error with the movie rendering (as opposed to the audio.)
Been working on this for four hours. Any help is certainly appreciated. Thanks.
- Craig

What version of Premiere Elements on your Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit)? For now I will assume 11, 12, or 13.NT
Please confirm that your export setting from Premiere Elements were
Publish+Share
Computer
QuickTime
with Presets = NTSC DV 16:9
and that you did not customize the settings, just hit save to get your widescreen DV.mov export.
That export should be fully playable with the latest version of QuickTime.
If you confirm that QuickTime player is rejecting it with your error 2048, then uninstall and install QuickTime
with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
a. Try to open the existing DV.mov again in QuickTime
and
b. Create a new DV.mov in Premiere Elements and try to open it in QuickTime.
What are the results from a and b?
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

Hello, I am having a similar problem as described here. Except there are a series of other registry keys with restricted access. In an attempt to completely uninstall quicktimes to reinstall with itunes 7, I tried deleting these registry keys and was unable. I found this post and tried to change permisions and was still unable. the error messages I recieve when I try to install quicktimes stand-alone or itunes
iTunes + QuickTime
Error 1905.Module C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTOCONTROL.dll failed to unregister
HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support
personnel.
plus a few others like this one with slightly varrying keys, then the installation continues before a final error message appears and closes the installation
Could not open key:HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your
