Error opening mpg2 even it successfully exported from compressor

I just export one of my timeline in FCP (v.5.1.4) and using compressor (2.3) to export as 1080p m2v (just change the field dominance to "progressive" because my video is square pixel animation).
as the result of the compressor says "successful", when I try to play the exported m2v file in quicktime, i got the error message saying " Error opening movie, The movie could not be opened"
does anyone know why I'm getting this error?
Thanks

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

What arrow?
Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from Motion 5 and can't import to FCP 7.
I exported (with current settings) from Motion 5 now i can't view my movie with QT Player an FCP
won't recognize it.
That's the message I get ?
I'm running Mac OSX but still on FCP 7 (upgrading to FCP X is NOT an option)
Thanks a lot for any sugestions

Thanks TOny
i think it was just a problem during the export. i tried a second time and it just worked fine

Exporting from compressor to FCPX

Is there a way to export from Compressor directly to FCPX? I am trying to figure out how to best use my nMP. At the moment I am playing with the best way to import 4K mpeg-4 video from my gopro camera.
russ

Video is a new technology for me. I started my project building a 15 year video library of a apprenticeship process. So my focus is not in a less that 3hr video.
The nMP and TB changed the focus from a video library to a video data base. As I was just using FCPX to edit videos thinking of it as a library instead of a database, I really did not care about system design and work flow. When started playing with multiple databases on a TB2 drive, the focus of the project changed to building a video database.
I have five years of raw natural horse videos, there is no movie to be made, but when I want a video of an action or event, I need to be able to search for it. For the data base function I need optimized videos in my libraries so I can skim through the raw footage.
I am experimenting with 4K video seeing how I can import raw 4k video into my FCPX database as efficient as possible. One experiment was to use compressor and render the video into 422 using cluster function of compressor. It looks like the camera transfer rate is too slow to matter. Compressor has not been stable enough for me to really test and understand it. That is probably my issue. Yesterday, I was testing monitor/tb drive combinations to see which combinations were more efficient.
Now I am trying to figure out the most efficient way to import my Video from my GoPro camera. If I shoot 8 hours of 4k video, importing from a flash reader with compressor cluster technology and the batch system might be more efficient.
I am just sorting though my options.

16x9 sequence is getting squeezed to 4x3 when I export from Compressor

My usual Final Cut to Compressor workflow is producing an unusual result. I am starting with an anamorphic DV NTSC sequence in Final Cut, but when I export this from Compressor using the Uncompressed 10-bit codec in a Quicktime wrapper, the video is squeezed to 4x3.
Here is my process in depth.
These are the sequence settings shown in Final Cut.
720 pixels x 420 pixels. The pixels have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and so the sequence is displayed widescreen. (My one question about this section is what do the QuickTime Video Settings mean? This is not something that I have ever adjusted... can it affect how Compressor interprets the sequence?)
Then I export a reference Quicktime.
Then I bring this Quicktime reference movie into Compressor and apply the QuickTime Uncompressed 10-bit settings provided with Compressor. Now, I don't normally adjust the geometry at all with this workflow since I thought that this format automatically used the current frame geometry settings from the sequence. However, having no luck with this I attempted to fix the problem myself by adjusting the geometry to match my sequence settings in FCP.
Unfortunately, my attempted manual override of the compressor export failed. The quicktime that I got from this was squeezed to 4x3 just as before!
Using QuickTime Conversion directly from FCP I was able to get the appropriate 16x9 quicktime, but I really need to figure out how to do this in compressor since I have to process a lot of sequences and need to keep FCP available and Compress in batchs. So, any suggestions?

Your problem is one of the most common suffered by people new to editing or new to the anamorphic scene.
It starts with a misconception. DV anamorphic video is NOT 16x9. The camera that shoots anamorphic 16x9 is actually shooting squeezed 4x3 video. If you note the sequence settings in your first picture, you'll see that your actual frame size is 720x480 which is a 4x3 frame size (3x2 actually, but it's essentially the same thing). The anamorphic check box is merely to let FCP know that the footage was squeezed when shot so that it displays it properly to you.
Though FCP can most times recognize anamorphic footage upon capture, QT player does not. All it sees is the 720x480 frame, so that's why it looks squeezed.
To get it to look correctly in QT, you have to actually change the frame size in Compressor to a 16:9 frame size. For DV, that is 854x480. Go to your Geometry controls and choose Custom 16:9 from the drop down menu. Then type 854 in the horizontal box. Then save that as a preset for you.
When Compressor does it's thing, the finished movie will open up as a 854x480 clip in QT which will be the proper aspect ratio for your video.
On another note, I'm not sure why you're going from a DV/NTSC sequence to compressing in Uncompressed 10bit. Because the video was captured and edited in DV, it'll never be of higher quality than DV. You might as well keep it that way, unless there's something else about your workflow that I don't know/understand.
I hope this helps you understand how anamorphic works.

Error -43 file not found when exporting from QT Pro 7.5

I get the error -43 (a file could not be found) when trying to export into any format from within Quicktime Pro 7.5 (861) which i believe is the most current version. I also cannot perform a simple "save as" to save my video into another name, i dont get an error message for that one, but it just doesnt do anything. Im not sure if there is any point placing this on this forum, but maybe someone at Apple is interested in offering a little support...?

OK so i found the solution myself - seems apple programmers have been not doing their jobs properly, to get this working the file name of the video that i want exported cannot be anything other than in 8.3 format (like old MS-DOS) but it's more than that, even if you do have the file in 8.3 format it still cant be in a directory that has a name longer than 8 characters, or which has spaces in it etc. so in my case i copied my video to c:\temp and renamed all of them to the old MS-DOS 8.3 format, now the export works... amazing I wonder how long i would have waited for apple support if i hadnt resolved this myself.

Why does iTunes keeps coming up empty even after successfully restoring from a previous library?

So, the other day, I opened up iTunes to find that all of my music and movies (all media at all) was gone. Well, darn. I looked in my previous saved libraries and the most recent file was from a minute or so before I discovered the problem - so, an empty library. Awesome. Next, I tried a system restore as my computer had recently installed some updates and I wasn't sure if that might or might not have effected this in anyway (I'm not the most tech-savvy person in the world). Successfully did that, but to no avail. So, I went back to my previous iTunes libraries again and the next most recent one was from last November. ****. Well, I figured, that's the best I can do. So I tried that.
Ok, so I had a library from a while ago, missing everything I'd added since November, but I still had all the files on my computer so I figured, I'll just go and add everything again. This was going to be a long and boring process as I had spent a lot of time in iTunes adding song details and album art and making playlists, etc, plus re-downloading everything new from the iTunes store on my slow connection would literally take weeks. But, I figured, I didn't have much of a choice.
So a few days passed, things went along normally, I shut down and started up my computer normally a few times, always checking iTunes with no change at all. Then, yesterday, I opened iTunes up in the afternoon and that same restored (from November) library was there, but I left for a few hours, not shutting down my computer, came back and everything was gone again.
Ahhh, just thinking of this now, I should mention that I'm running iTunes 10.7.0.21 because I hate iTunes 11... now I'm wondering, would this cause me to have the problems that I'm having?
Everyone's been telling me just to re-import everything and that it's no big deal, but I don't want to go through the process of re-importing and re-downloading and reorganizing 3500 media files if they're all just going to disappear again!

Wow, this is just what i DO want to happen!
What do you use? I heard that LimeWire does this with iTunes on a Mac, but couldn't get it to work in this way on a PC...
Glad you sorted it out though.

Error when trying to save or export from pages

I am trying to export a pages doc to any other format. I have tried the 'hidden' save as, exporting to pdf, deleting part of the document, changing the font, duplicating and saving- nothing is working! I receive an 'unexpected error'. I did not have any issues until I did the last OS X udate.
Thanks!

Do you have any oddball characters in the name?
Stick to straight alpha numeric, no punctuation.
Try saving to a different location.

I cannot open jpg or tiff files exported from LR3

staart with RAW. rename the files in Export dialog. export to hard drive or CD.
the exported files show in finder, but I cannot get them to reimport to LR3 under different filename.
his started as a result of a client who received files but couldn't upload to Shutterfly.
very weird

the exported files show in finder, but I cannot get them to reimport to LR3 under different filename.
How are you doing this reimporting? What happens when you try? Is there an error message?
What happens if you choose, in the Export dialog box, to include the exported files in the Lightroom Catalog?

How do I export from Compressor 4 to iDVD with chapter markers?

I get that Final Cut Pro X does not create chapter markers.
I send it to Compressor 4 to do this.
Ok, so far, so good.
How do I export this so that I can then author the DVD to include a menu page, etc?
Do I do this in iDVD? If so, what format, as I see that iDVD does not import MPEG-2.

Don't use the DVD preset in Compressor. Use an MPEG4 format or maybe even AppleTV preset.
This Apple Support Article might help a little.

How do I merge a 264 file and ac3 file exported from compressor?

I am trying to create an .mts file from these two streams.
Anyone?

You make the transport stream in Compressor. You should try the Compressor forum and give the version number. I haven't used the current version and don't know if the functionality is available in it.

Multiplexing MPEG-2 and Aiff exported from compressor

I have been exporting MPEG-2 and Aiff files of of videos through compressor. I have been using Bit-Vice Helper to Multiplex them together for broadcast.
My problem is that on longer videos, the audio will cut out part way through the video.
Does anyone know of alternate means of multiplexing the MPEGs and Audio, or has anyone run into a similar problem and know of a fix for it?
Thanks.

Are you trying to create an MPEG2 Program or Transport stream? If so, Compressor 3 does this.

Exporting from PPro CS3 -- lots of trial and error - and Cineform?

Rather than showing up on this forum out of nowhere and asking, "what is the best codec for exporting HDV edited material from PPro CS3 when the desired presentation is standard definition DVD" I thought I would do my homework first, and post my results. Then, if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve or if their mileage has varied from my results, I hope to learn from your comments.
My camera is a canon HV20, filming in 1080/60i and capturing using HDVSplit (due to premiere's inability to keep my audio and video in synch). I am operating in Windows XP Pro w/SP2 with a dual core AMD 6000+, 2GB dual channel DDR2 800 RAM. Seems powerful enough for me.
My finalists in terms of visual quality when burned to DVD using Encore CS3, 7MB 2 pass VBR, came down to these:
1) H.264 max bit depth
2) QT Animation Sorenson
3) QT Animation Sorenson3
The H.264 takes a little longer to encode, but the visual quality wins out.
So, after doing this and reading posts on here about using Cineform AspectHD I thought I would download a trial and see what it does for me. The strange thing is, I don't seem to understand what advantage it offers, but surely it must be something since it costs $500!
After trying the Cineform trial for a couple of days, I'm not sure I understand what good it is doing. The CFHD files have to be rendered upon placing on the timeline, and they have longer render times when applying standard effects such as the Premiere color correction and time-remapping effects. No apparent difference in visual quality, but much larger file sizes to store. So why is it that folks use Aspect HD???
Hoping if you read this far you will share your preferred HDV-->SD export codecs and settings so I and others can learn from your efforts.
Oh yeah - and eventually, I will be purchasing a blu-ray burner so I want to export these same projects from Premiere into blu-ray format. But for now, it is standard def in 16:9 format.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

My computer is similar to Mystroh and Esc in KC. I am not as picky and I want to work in standard definition, I've been making movies in Premiere since version 5.5. In Premiere Pro version 2 I have been making movies using 3 different Sony videocams, usually about 30 minutes long, and exporting to tape and DVD.
So, I splurged for CS3 Production Premium and installed it. No problem.
I composed my first movie called 'Swindle Part 1'and exported it to Encore, (direct to DVD - no authoring) and it bombed near the end of the transcoding phase with the following message:
PGC "Swindle Part 1" has an error at 00;29;46;09. Internal software error: %0, line Swindle Part 1, ref = Bpgc, time = 00;29;46;09
The referenced timecode is one second from the end of the sequence.
I tried again with different clips in a different project and got the same error message.
I can successfully export this movie to tape and to a movie.
Any ideas?

Problem exporting from FCP using compressor

Out of the blue - I'm getting batch failures trying to export from FCP for use in a DVD. Immediately after selecting compressor for export, I get an error reading "That file already exists", and a new tab appears in the media browser with a lengthy character string. Compressor opens fine, and I select Best Quality 4:3 encoding for video and aiff48 for audio. When the batch is submitted - it promptly fails and blames FCP for generating an error.
Did all kinds of restarts and work arounds to no avail. The promising news is that this error seems to occur only when exporting from FCP through Compressor.
My work-around is to export a QT movie of the piece, quit FCP, launch Compressor, and then import the QT for batching.
Hope this helps anyone else in similar situations

Hi:
How long is your movie?
The best workflow is FCP > Compressor > DVDSP.
You can encode your timeline directly to get MPEG2 video and Dolby 2 (AC3) audio files. Then import those in DVDSP and author your DVD.
Using Compressor you control the full encoding process. You can test with small parts of your movie (those where you got problems with iDVD) and find the best encoding options fopr your footage.
Of course the DVDSP learning curve is longer than iDVD but once you learned ir you probably never go back. Like iMovie and FCP.
To give you detailed info about what encoding settings to use you must post some info about your FCP project.
Hope that helps !

Error opening svg files Illustrator CC

Hi, I used to open and edit SVG files exported from HighCharts without any issue. I now get the following error when I try to open these files:
"The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [CANT]"
I'm not sure if it's related but this issue has only started since I ran the new updates for Adobe Premier, After Effects & Speed Grade.
I'm running OS X Mavricks on a Macbook Pro.
Anyone else having the same issue?

you probably miss a typeface used in the svg file, either:
- install the missing fonts
- take out the references to fonts using a texteditor (remove attributes like font-family="'Calibri'")
