Error 2048 when files created on a Mac are played on a PC

I'm having a sporadic problem bringing Quicktime files over from my Mac to my PC, and I'm having a tough time working out why.
The .mov files have come from at least a couple of different sources. Two recent examples have been a very large HD master in the Animation codec (180ish GB) exported from Avid, and a large-ish ProRes 422 (HQ) exported by compressor. Both play fine on my Mac, and both used to play fine on my PC (other .mov files in both formats also play fine in my PC).
In both cases, the problem can be resolved by opening the file in Quicktime on my mac, using 'Save As' to save it as a new file, and then opening that on my PC. But since these are big files, that's an annoyingly long process (hours in the case of the Animation clip).
Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?

Thank you for your reply. I have some additional information that may help you. I initially found that if I tried to burn 12 JPEG image files to a CD-R I received the error message I reported in my first post. If, however, I only tried to burn 3 files to the CD-R, they were burned onto the CD and I was able to retrieve them. If I tried to burn more than 3 files it did not work.
I took my MacBook to the Apple store Genius counter yesterday to get some help and was able to exactly reproduce the errors. The Apple techs suggested replacing the CD/DVD drive. I am waiting for the new drive to arrive. In the mean time, I discovered that if I included any number of files and sub-folders in a single main folder, and then tried to burn that main folder it worked. I was subsequently able to successfully burn a single folder containing 300MB of files and sub-folders. This seems to me to be a bug in the Mac OS, especially since it happened in exactly the same way on 2 different late model Macs. Hope this helps. Let me know if you can reproduce my experience or have any additiona information.

  • How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

    How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts?  An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created.  Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

  • 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.

  • QE03: Message no. Q4111 - an error occurred when file was transferred SAP

    Hi All,
    I am using T-Code QE03 to view Inspection Lot Data for some inspection characteristics. I want to download the results/data into Excel for analysis.
    Right now I am viewing the "Results History" then using F9 to export. The Eval. Method is "SAP_Excel," and I start the evaluation.
    Here's where it gets odd - it exports the files OK, but at the end an error message in SAP appears that says "An error occurred when file XYZ.xls was transferred." Hitting the Help button just pops up "Message no. Q4111."
    Why does this error pop up, each time? Any way to remove it/resolve the error?
    Thanks for all your help.

  • .jpg files created on iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uploading them to American Heart Assoc. website?

    .jpg files created on Iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uplaoding to American Heart Association fund raising webpage? .jpg's from Canon camera uploaded without any problems? The website automatically reduces the file size to <100kb.

    I haven't contacted AHA about this issue. The .jpg files created on Canon SLR uploaded correctly, but the photo from iPhone which was emailed to my PC using MS IE. The .jpg was browsed to from my desktop and is submitted. It shows up in draft form then when uploading it fails saying it is not a .jpg file or .png file? I have had other issues in the past emailing iPhone pictures. They were not editable after being sent to a PC. I guess we can retake photos with a non-Apple camera.

  • Why can't my PC open my Premiere CC 2014 file created on a MAC? (don't have permission/unknown error)

    I've been using my personal computer at work for a month. Today I received my work PC. When I try and open my project files on the PC it say an unknown error has occurred. When I use the open function it says I don't have permission. What's up with that Adobe?

    I am having the same problem -
    I’m trying to install this “copious dogs” mod on my work computer (MacBook Pro).
    I can’t open the JAR file.  I get an error message saying “Copious dogs … cannot be launched. Check the Console for possible errors …”
    I’ve been on all kinds of boards that tell me to install a bunch of Java apps and whatnot.  None of that has worked.
    I’ve found other boards that say to open the .jar file with my archive utility.  I can do that and get to a “cpgz” file.  But then when I try to open that I get another .jar file – which I can’t open.
    Other boards say to go to the apple store and download “Unarchiver.”
    But when I go to the mac store and search for “unarchiver” I’m taken to a “Dashboard Widgets: iPhone News” download – and that’s about when I start to pull my hair out and give up.
    What am I doing wrong ?

    Yes you'll likely need to re-rip the album to your iPod.
    How many songs are reported in your iTunes library?
    When you said you selected your entire iTunes library and made sure they were not set to skip when shuffling, how exactly did you do that? 
    There seems to be a missing piece of information here that would help explain the differences in numbers.

  • Problems opening & printing pdf files created on a Mac

    I am at my wit's end! I recently upgraded to a new version of Acrobat and suddenly a lot of my clients could no longer open my pdf files. I uninstalled the latest version of Acrobat and reinstalled an older version (Acrobat 8.1.3). Some clients started being able to open my pdf files but others could not. So I started using the Acrobat Share server and sending links. Some of my clients cannot open those either and many cannot print even if they can open the files that way. I personally also cannot print from the Acrobat Share server. The pdf files print out with all the surrounding graphics and application design elements. I also can't open the pdf files that I created on my Mac using my PC laptop running Vista. I have tried opening and printing both pdf files and the Acrobat Share links from my Mac and my PC laptop running Vista, to no avail.
    I was under the impression that compatibility problems between Macs and PCs were largely a thing of the past. I was also under the impression that the whole point of exchanging pdf files was that pdf files are cross-platform compatible. Not only am I am losing tons of valuable time, I may be losing credibility with my clients (especially since I have an IT background). I desperately need to know what version of Acrobat I should be running on my Mac so that when I scan documents into my Mac, the pdf files that are created are completely 100% compatible with both Mac and PC operating systems regardless of what operating system and what version of Acrobat my clients are running. I also need to be sure that those same pdf files I create on my Mac can be seemlessly printed out from either a Mac or PC regardless of the operating system or Acrobat Reader version. If anyone can help me get to the bottom of this, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.

    This file downloaded and works fine for me in Preview on both OS X 10.5.7 and 10.4.11 (and opens in Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 and 8.1.5, and the latest version of Reader on both versions of the OS). As expected.
    If you're printing from Acrobat.com by right clicking in the image area and selecting Print, don't. This isn't printing the PDF, it's printing the Flash frame that contains, as you've noticed, buttons and other elements. (Adobe's Mac Flash plugin is notoriously buggy.) Direct your clients to download the file by selecting the download button, not by right clicking and printing.
    Again, your PDF file is fine.

  • App Builder generates Error 1 when I create installer

    Bill, NI Tech support suggested I save my project in LV60 format, recompile, and see if the error still occurs. I did this. However, I could not export the .bld file from LV61 to 60, so I had to re-create it. No error occurred when I compiled this (with installer) in LV60. I then loaded this project back into LV61 and compiled it - also, no error! So I have no idea what caused this. However, I did ask NI for a wish list item - to add more error info in App Builder, so that one knows what input parameter or VI caused the problem. (With 300 Vis is a project, it is a daunting task to find the probelm otherwise).

  • Error Handling when File/URL not found

    I am paging through a list of items in a datagrid and calling
    a URL (actually a local file) based upon which item in the grid was
    clicked. I'd like to throw an error if the file does not exist, but
    I can't figure out how. Can some one give me a clue? The docs on
    this subject are confusing to me. Here is the code:
    //add the search function for when the button is pressed
    import fl.controls.DataGrid;
    import fl.data.DataProvider;
    import fl.events.ListEvent;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    getAcrobat.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,acroReader);
    backButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goBack);
    litGrid.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK,showPDF);
    function acroReader(e:MouseEvent) {
    var urlAcro:String = "
    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html";
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlAcro);
    try {
    navigateToURL(request, '_blank');// second argument is
    target
    } catch (e:Error) {
    trace("Page was not found!");
    function goBack(e:MouseEvent) {
    gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene 1");
    var XMLLiterature:XML = new XML();
    var XMLLit:URLRequest = new URLRequest("literature.xml");
    var XMLLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader(XMLLit);
    var urlArray:Array = new Array();
    var theSelection:int = 0;
    XMLLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadLit);
    function loadLit(e:Event):void {
    XMLLiterature = new XML(e.target.data);
    for each (var item in XMLLiterature.lit) {
    var litTitle = item.litTitle;
    var url = item.fileName;
    //var fileName = item.fileName;
    litGrid.addItem({AvailableLiterature:litTitle});
    //urlArray.push({Title:litTitle,url:url});
    function showPDF(e:ListEvent):void {
    var theSelection = e.rowIndex;
    var theRequest =
    "pdf/"+XMLLiterature.lit.fileName[theSelection];
    var theLitRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(theRequest);
    try {
    navigateToURL(theLitRequest, '_blank');// second argument is
    target
    } catch (err:Error) {
    trace("Page was not found!");
    stop();

    When you setup your URLLoader, also listen for an
    IOErrorEvent, which will fire if the file does not exist. Here is
    an example:
    package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    public class IOErrorEventExample extends Sprite {
    public function IOErrorEventExample() {
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
    ioErrorHandler);
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MissingFile.xml");
    loader.load(request);
    private function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
    trace("ioErrorHandler: " + event);
    }

  • Illegal use of LONG datatype error message when i create materialized view

    Hello to all
    I want create read only materialized view replication environment two of our tables have LONG datatype when i create materialized view against on them
    I recieve this error message
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MDB.TOAD_PLAN_TABLE TABLESPACE aramis REFRESH FORCE WITH ROWID AS SELECT * FROM MDB.TOAD_PLAN_TABLE@arahisto
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
    00997. 00000 - "illegal use of LONG datatype"
    Do you know any resort solution for it?
    thanks

    You can not use longs in materialized views over a database link, you can however take a part of a long over to a materialized view.
    I have gotten this to work in the past l had to create a PL/SQL function that you can use to extract the character data from the long column and use that to
    as part of the function you will need to pass in the columns of the table that will identify the unique records so you can pick out the long column
    example function
    -- you will need to make sure this funtion is in the remote location as you can not select longs accross a DB LINK.
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION MDB.TOAD_PLAN_LONG_CONV
    (pass in the primary key columns for the table)
    RETURN VARCHAR2
    IS
    v_long VARCHAR2(32767) ;
    BEGIN
    BEGIN
    -- need to select the long column into the PL/SQL variable
    SELECT long_column
    INTO v_long
    FROM MDB.TOAD_PLAN_TABLE
    WHERE key_columns = passed columns ;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    IF SQLCODE = '-01406' THEN
    NULL ;
    ELSE
    RAISE ;
    END IF ;
    END ;
    RETURN SUBSTR(v_long,1,4000) ;
    END ;
    Then when you create the materialized view utilize that function on the long column.
    create or replace materialized view MDB.TOAD_PLAN_TABLE TABLESPACE aramis REFRESH FORCE WITH ROWID
    AS
    SELECT column1, .... columnx,
    MDB.TOAD_PLAN_LONG_CONV@arahisto (primary key column list) as long_column_name
    FROM MDB.TOAD_PLAN_TABLE@arahisto ;
    See if this will work for you? Keep in mind however this solution will not get the entire long column only as much as a PL/SQL variable will hold of it.
    Mike
