Error -2125 when optimizing in imovie '11

Hi there, ive been looking a lot into others problems and cant seem to find an answer for this error. Another had a similar problem, and he simply had to clear out more space for the file, as i repeated, i found it then sent me this error message while optimizing a video for speed up/down. I cant seem to find a solution, im working with a quicktime file, .mov I tried exporting it as it was, to get a different file type and start again, but it sent me the same error, etc. etc.
If anyone has similar problems/knows solution any feedback would be awesome! thanks a ton.

Hi
Error -2125
OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
less than 25Gb (my minimum)

If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.

Osstatus error -2125 when exporting in iMovie 11

In imove 11, I'm trying to export using Quicktime. The computer works on the export for hours, but always returns a message of "osstatus error -2125".
I've had no luck figuring out what the code means. Does anyone have any clues here?
Thanks,
Mitch

When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes. Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes. Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

Error -108 when exporting movie iMovie??????

As a guess, try right-clicking on your Event and see if it allows you to Optimize Media. If it does, choose Optimize - Full.
Your export should now work.

IDVD error message when sharing from imovie

1. When "sharing" from imovie to idvd, error message appears reading: "unable to publish project due to error-41."
2. Successfully "shared" once, with the first clip upside down.
Thank you for your insights.

Hi
Most probably it's the Start-Up/Boot/Mac OS hard disk that has less than 5Gb free space.
To let iDVD run OK - This Start-up hard disk should have 25Gb or more due to that
Your Mac is running a sort of UNIX (Mac OS) and this makes Mac OS and iDVD to use
lot's of temp files - AND they can not be addressed to any other hard disk at all.
More RAM - will not help
External/Second hard disk will if You first formatte it as Mac OS Extended and
move material over to this (or use it as Start-up hard disk)
External Start-up hard disk must be FireWire - NO USB2 will do this.
Must be Mac OS Extended formatted
Western Digital - My Book Serie - Can't do this.
My Lacie - works gladly as secondary start-up hard disk.

Error -2125, when codec .dv to .m4v

Hi.
I'm transform my domestic film, they are .dv file make with Final Cut Express HD.
The idea is codec it to AppleTV using QT Pro 7.2, but.... in many videos don't work and put "error -2125"... and ask What means ?????
Thanks in advance

Download MPEG Streamclip (free) version 1.9b3
Drag the DV files into it.
Select File Export to MPEG-4
Press the iTunes button
Select Apple TV and an option like SD, HD etc.
Go.
It's faster, too.

Error Message when Optimizing PDF

I am working on a project in PowerPoint using text, shapes, and clipart. I save that as a PDF and then open it in Adobe and then prepare to save it as an optimized PDF. When saving, I get an error message "An error was encountered while processing images." As a result, the file does not optimize nor save. I can't figure out what is causing this to occur. I have completely recreated this document from scratch, and the error message is still occurring. What can I do to prevent this?

You can't directly open a Pages (or Word) document and Excel and, its equivelent Macintosh program in Acrobat. That's true. In OSX.5.8 and lower and 9.2 and lower you can go to print menu and choose AdobePDF and print a PDF. Or simply use the Mac's PDF button in Print menu. Or Most programs will allow you to save as Post script by going through the print menu click on PDF button and choose create Postscript from PDF (I know it sounds stupid but that what Apple has it listed as. ) Then Drop the PS File on Distiller. or open with distiller.
ON OSX.6.x (Snow Leopard) all bets are off.
you need to read this link.
Note: to make sure that everything goes smooth locate Automator select, do get info (Command key-I) and change from 64 bit to 32 bit. Its seems based on info from Acrobat the automator action for Create adobe quality PDF Automator action

TA22866 Error -40 when exporting from imovie?

I am trying to get an old movie I created off an old imac from 2000.
When I export it to quicktime in "Medium quality", it works ok.
When I export it to quicktime in "Hiigh quality", it exports and creates the file but when I try to open it in quicktime or drag it to a USB thumb drive, it cannot do either one and says an error -40 has occurred. Can anyone help? I really want to get this movie off the old imac and not in medium quality.
Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion. I had stopped trying to use iMovie '09 at all for several days, then went back to it to try creating a movie from a different original source material, one that I had successfully exported movies from in the past (a Kodak Zi6). To my surprise, I got the same error as the one I got from my quicktime generated mp4's.
When this occurs, it seems to almost complete the encoding process. I can see a file on disk, that grows to about the size that the final export movie should be. I even created a hardlink to that file so that when iMovie '09 errors out, I still have a copy of the exported movie. However, there is something about the metadata on the file that inhibits my ability to even open it with Quicktime.
When I attempt to use "open movie.mp4" at the command-line, it immediately errors out with:
Some files were not found for the file /Volumes/gks/Pictures/HCRO/timelapse/eno-titles-backup.mp4.
I'm unfamiliar with fixing up these sorts of metadata forks on macosx, but suspect this is fixable after the fact.
Also, it turns out that your suggestion to lower the bit rate to 2500-5000 was helpful! I've been able to export movies using the lower bit rate. This is rather unfortunate though as the lower quality is notable... sigh.
So, it appears that this is an issue with iMovie '09 interacting with the quicktime codec for H.264.

Getting error -2125 when trying to share to iDVD

Has anyone run into this? I've searched Apple's site for help but can't get any. I've successfully exported my project into a .mov file but can't share it with iDVD.

Hi
Just a note
My external drive is formatted as Mac OS.
There are Two kinds of Mac OS
• Mac OS Extended (right for video)
• Mac OS Exchange (will not work with video)

IMovie - Getting Error Message "Publishing Error -2125"

I am getting the message "Publishing Error -2125" when I try to share my movie to i DVD in order to burn it to a disk. I have no idea what this means. What can I do? Help!

That particular error comes up for a number of reasons, sometimes it's the size of the movie you're trying to export. Bengt Wärleby a longtime contributor to the iMovie Discussion Group has advised a number of people on this error code, so I am going to link to his latest advice he's given to anyone trying to export to DVD from iMovie: Bengt's tips for great DVDs.
Specifically, try bypassing Share to iDVD by using Share to Media Browser instead.
In the Share to Media Browser dialog box choose the Large Size.
When(If?) it gets through that process, quit iMovie altogehter then go to iDVD.
Create a new project and click on the Media button near the lower right hand side of the Project Window.
Then click the Movies button in the Browser window just above that.
Under the iMovie star icon you should see the name of the project you shared out from iMovie.
Drag that into the project and burn the DVD.
If it's still to large or you get the same -2125 error code trying to Share using the Medium size instead. But again if you really get stuck consult Bengt Warleby's User tips:

Error -50 when sharing a project

I've tried saving to a different location on my HD, I've tried reducing the res (I tried the three highest res as this is for a tv monitor) of the exported movie, I've repaired permissions. I exported this projecet perfectly the first time I made it - I need to change one thing in it and now get this!

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
jonorparkerjon
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

IMovie OSStatus error -2125

I need some help badly. I am using imovie '09 and I am trying to export a vacation movie to idvd through the "share" pull down menu at the top of the screen. After about 2 hours of of imovie exporting the file it goes through the entire export then gives me an error of OSStatus error -2125. I have no idea what to do here but I really need to finalize this video through idvd. Any info at all would be great;y appreciated!!!!

iDVD requires a fairly large amount of free space to exist on your internal hard drive. You will want to have around 25GB free space or better. Also,try bypassing Share to iDVD by using Share to Media Browser instead.
In the Share to Media Browser dialog box choose the Large Size.
When(If?) it gets through that process, quit iMovie altogehter then go to iDVD.

IMovie Export using Quicktime in 1080p gives error OSStatus error -2125

Hi, I am new to using iMovie, started using it few days back. So far i have been unable to "Export using Quicktime" in 1920*1080p option.
I was able to export using "Export to Quicktime" in 640*480p (.mp4 format) option and was able to use "Export Movie" with 1920*1080p (.mov format) option.
Trying to export using "Export using Quicktime" in 1080p always failed so far. I tried at least a dozen times with different settings. Initially i was getting the following two errors randomly, but later, the last 4-5 trials i keep getting only the first error.
1. OSStatus error - 2125
2. Not enough room in the heap zone.
Project details are - it is a 34 min. video and size came to 5.3GB when exported using "Export Movie" (.mov format) using 1080p option.
It indicates 2 hours to export it, takes 2 hours and interestingly, the OSStats error - 2125 error happens at the end of the export. I can see in the finder the increasing size of the file the process is creating. It has been a really frustrating experience with iMovie so far. I even tried duplicating the project with a different name and tried export, did not help.
I have >300GB of free space on my hard drive and 8 GB of RAM. I don't have any heavy applications running on the system.
I read forums about this error and tried the following so far with no help.
1. Tried changing names of the iMovie project few times to see if that helps.
2. Set the sleep settings of the computer as well as monitor to Never.
3. Reached out to apple support about it and they suggested me to setthe sleep settings to never and then try. But that did not help.
I am stuck with this error OSStatus error - 2125.
The settings I am trying with are:
Export to MPEG-4
H.264 video format
20Mbps bit rate
30 fps
One question is, once I exported a project in one format or setting, do I have to create a new project to export it in different settings or I can just use the same project?
Can someone please help? Any help about this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am having the same issue. Have been searchin gfor 3 days for an answer. I am able to export as MOV file, but not MP4. I bought QT Pro 7 to convert THE MOV to MP4 and it doesnt work either. I then bought iskysoft Video Converter and it wont convert the MOV to MP4 either. (will convert smaller files)
I have 700 GB of free space on drive. I have tried a movie that is 3 hours, one that is one hour, and one that is 54 minutes..All same thing.. Error -2125. Although it will work with smaller movies under 30 mins.
Surely there has to be an answer to this? It seems it has been an ongoing issue for quite some time, yet there is no solution.

I keep getting the error message when trying to update iMovie There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)" Does anyone know how to fix it?

I keep getting this error message when updating imovie "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20). Does anyone know how to fix?

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.
