Error message "NTSC assets cannot be imported . . . ."

This has left me stumped.
I keep getting the following error message when I try to import m2v clips from compressor:
"NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects"
But I haven't made any of my clips NTSC. Im exporting them out of the same FCP project, through the same settings and destination in Compressor and into DVDSP.
But only some files can be improted in. All the others keep triggering this error message??......

Ive opened the M2v file in Quicktime, and looking through the movie inspector and movie properties there is no mention of it being PAL or NTSC?
What is the size that is being reported?
I am working from the same FCP project as all the other clips I have successfully imported, where the Sequence settings are 'Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 24p 48kHz'
I used the same M2V settings and Dolby surround sound settings in Compressor too.
So you set the timeline out to a SD PAL preset? What you may want to try is copy a preset, and make sure to set the Video Format in the inspector to PAL and Stream Usage to SD DVD. Save the PAL preset as something like "PALTEST" so it is easy to find and when the item is encoded it will have the words "PALTEST" appended to make sure that you are grabbing the right file. You may want to try that on a small section (smallest clip?) to start. Before doing that you can try to delete the MPEG/PAR files for the problematic ones in case something got corrupted when you bought the original probllem ones in....
What were the Compressor settings that you used? Did you just send to a preset that Apple has in it? What were the names at the end of the files that are giving you issues?

    Hi, i have exported .mov from FCP and when i try to import it into DVD Studio Pro i get the message,
    NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects, WHY, it is not an NTSC asset ?
    HELP

    Do not use H.264. Use Pro Res or send the timeline straight from Final Cut to Compressor an a PAL preset (or one that you make yourself.) I prefer sending out self-contained versions in case I need to re-rencode or want to make items for various formats.

  • Error Message that Files Cannot Be Imported -- Are My Files Lost?

    Hi all --
    Here's my sad story: I was importing a whole slew of files from my Canon PowerShot A520, everything appeared to be going swimingly, when iPhoto appeared to freeze up. After a force quit, it became apparent that the pix had never made it into iPhoto. (Oh, by the way, yes I checked the box that deleted them from the camera's memory card, so I don't have the originals to work with here. Never make that mistake again, but that's of no help now, of course. I should have waited until I was certain that the import was successful before I ever messed with the originals, but I digress.)
    I thought at first that I had lost all the photos forever, but then I located the pix (they're .jpg files) in Finder (they're in my "pictures" folder). They're apparently on the computer, just not in iPhoto. Somehow they had made it after all, or so I thought.
    Here's the bummer, while I can see the pictures just fine in preview, when I tried to import one as a test case into iPhoto I got the following error message and the import was not allowed:
    The files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.
    Based on the foregoing, I suspect that the files somehow got corrupted during the initial (aborted) attempt to import them. The file type (.jpeg) seems ok to me. I'm assuming that corruption and "not containing valid data" are roughly synonymous.
    So, what I'm wondering is, am I doomed to forever only being able to view these pix in preview or something like that and to never being able to import them into iPhoto and edit and slide show them, etc? Is there nothing I can do to fix whatever's wrong with these photos and get them to successfully import into iPhoto? What about printing, is that possible?
    Like I said, these (possibly corrupt?) .jpg files are the only copies I have to work with, since I foolishly deleted the originals from the memory card.
    Is all hope lost?
    Any and all help will be appreciated more than you can know.
    Thanks.
    Brief Addendum: I just tried to open one of the pix using Graphic Converter and it worked just fine.

    Lori --
    What can I say, but thank you, thank you and thank you!
    Your timely response saved the day -- it was a little hairy there for a while, with .jpg files all over the desktop, but after resorting to pen and paper (still necessary at times) and recording the numbers of all files, I am now good to go.
    The little green star and the bogue award of 10 points doesn't begin to convey how helpful your post, but it's all we're given (plus these words, of course).
    To briefly sum up -- This morning (after the debacle last evening that started all this) I was trying to reconcile myself to the fact that my photos were lost for good and that I had only myself to blame.
    Now, I have all my photos back (more than 200 hundred, some of them really kind of cool, if I do say so myself) and all are now sitting nicely in iPhoto waiting to be manipulated, edited and otherwise toyed with.
    All thanks to you, Lori.
    Not that I wish the heartache I just went through over the last 24 hours on anyone, but I do hope that I get the chance to help someone out as much as I was helped out today. Good Karma and all that.
    This site flat out rules!
    Thanks again.

    Hello there dilip77707,
    It sounds like you are getting this error message that your iPod cannot be read from or written to when you are trying to update your iPod Nano. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved. Its pretty straight forward, just start at the top and work your way down as needed:
     'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU   TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG".  Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

    Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
    If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

  • Get error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading" even when attaching 1 file

    I attached multiples .pdf files to an email. Tried to attach the next file before the previous 1 finished attaching. Got error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading". Was never able to attach that 1 file to the email that I received the error message for; was able to attach subsequent files to that same email & send it. Now, I often get the same error message, even if I only attach 1 file & esp. when attaching .ai or .jpeg files. What can I do to fix this problem?

    It looks like nobody has an answer for this despite of the 80 something views!
    And here i thought Adobe admin would be monitoring the forum, but surprisingly, they don't even have the answer for this!!!

    This is getting frustrating.  Every example of my problem has the same reply:

    I have NO photos on my Ipod Nano.  I select "Photos" and the Ipod goes to a blank screen with the msg "No Photos" at the bottom.  There must be some other file missing.  Itunes won't connect to the Ipod, I keep getting the same error over and over.  It would be nice if it told me what file is missing.

  • When trying to restore an iCloud backup, I receive the error message "Appe-ID cannot be created. invalid device while updating mme delegate account".

    After a complete crash of my iPad 3 (WIFI only) because of updating to iOS 7.03, I try to restore my config from iCloud.
    I managed to get into the settings assistant and enter my Apple-ID (which is valid as checked via iTunes).
    But then I see the error message "Apple ID cannot be created - invalid device while upgrading mme delegate account".
    I have no clue what the mme delegate account is but need my data back.
    Any suggestions?

    All you need to do is restore the iphone in itunes as new
    and then set up as new
    after this is done
    then you can restore from itunes back up with out any error!!

  • Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

    Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

    I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
    You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
    If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!
