Error message" The file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153464/ also unable to open projects in the background 26:: 142

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I am using AE CC/Windows 7 on a Dell computer, 32 GB RAM, 64 bit op system, processors: Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU x5670 @ 2.93 Ghz 2.93 Ghz (2 processors).
So far I had worked on many projects with no problems and then a few weeks ago the project crashed non stop. The problem was overcome when I got rid of all MP3s and converted them to RAM. Again this was an issue I didn't have in the past and I don't recall changing anything.
Now it seems it is impossible for me to export/render out a project into a Quick time file or even AVI. If its quick time I get this message: After Effects unable to render error an output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153464 and if I am trying to export with AVI I get this message: AE unable to open projects in the background 26:: 142)
This is happening with different projects.
I read the forums and heard that the problem may be a Bug with quicktime and H.264? I never had a problem with it before but again when I try to export AVI I get this error message:
AE unable to open projects in the background
I have a feeling it is quick time related. I have uninstalled and reinstalled QT but still get the problem. It will open old QT files no problem. I tried to download a bug fix update as one post suggested but I think I have the latest which is why it didn't work.
This particular project has a couple of quick media H.264 files. Do I need to convert them? Are they the cause for all of this?
I am sorry I really tried to look for answers in the forums before contacting you here but I cannot find a reason for all this mess, which again only appeared a few weeks ago with no problems for months...if someone can point out an area where I can start looking, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

update: I converted all the H.264 footage which were in the project to WMV. And I was able to test export with AVI and it turne dout fine (like 10 seconds). However I still got the Error message: "After Effects unable to render error an output module failed, a filme may be corrupted or damaged. Error-1610153464 " when I tried to export H.264 QT..
I don't know what to do now, how can a problem which did not exist suddenly come up. How can I export a QT file? with AVI it will be massive!
Many thanks
Amanda

An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted.

Whenever I try to render something in After Effects CC 13.1.1, an error message pops up, saying "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '[not going to disclose]' An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)."
Screenshot of the error message:
I tried reinstalling QuickTime (7), repaired it, updated After Effects to the latest version(as I am writing this), checked firewall software, and used other formats such as AVI.
Adobe Media Encoder (CC 2014-latest version) won't work with me, either.
I sent the composition to Adobe Media Encoder, and this is what I got, no progress here.
Screenshot:
It took a while to connect to the dynamic link server, and failed.
This is a log of what has happened in Adobe Media Encoder.

EDIT(11/23/2014 8:31PM PST): For some reason, other projects work for me just fine. I am not sure why it is not working on one project.
Screenshot of a new project other than this I am rendering at the time of writing this edit:

Can other projects can output to the same output location? Yes
Can other projects render with the same render settings (codec, format, etc.)? Yes.
If you create a new composition and just add a solid layer to it with no effects in the same project does it render? No. I still get the error.
Can you render that brand new comp with the same render settings, output settings, output location etc.? Yes.
If so, what effects are present in the offending comp? Twixtor Pro in all the cinematics/clips, Motion Tile and Transform for pan/crop & wiggle, Magic Bullet Looks and Bad TV Warping preset with just Wave Warp & Venetian Blinds for color correction, Gradient Ramp for text, Bad TV Warping preset with everything for effect, Transform for fade in/out, and ReelSmart Motion Blur v4.1.2 for motion blur.
Also, what scripts are you using? Just the Move Anchor Point script I found from one of Mt. Mograph's videos, Summit 16 - 2.5D Minecraft Steve - After Effects - YouTube.
Have you ever installed any third-party codec packs? (I've heard of some codec packs causing weird issues like this.) Yes, (not everything I have, just everything I can think of and find) I have K-Lite codec pack, Fraps, x264vfw, and Xvid MPEG-4 codec.

AE error: Rendering error while writing to file "E:\[file name].avi". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted.

I am running Adobe After Effects CC 2014.0.2 on a Windows 7 Ultimate Machine.
When the user begins to render an uncompressed file she receives the following error message:
I have been searching all day for solutions to this error with no luck so far. All that I have found deal with Mac OS (which does not apply here) or .mov files (also not the issue here) and I am stumped. Any suggestions on how to resolve this error?

Here you go:

Recurring rendering error "an output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted"

From today onwards I've been getting this error whenever I'm exporting to Quicktime mov (at least H264 and DXV). I've been reading a lot about it and it seems to be an ongoing issue, related to the QT32 server (whatever that is). I haven't been able to find a satisfactory solution yet. One thing's for sure, it's messing up my workflow.
Some additional info:
System:      Mac
OS:             10.9.2 (Mavericks)
Adobe:        Adobe CC
Quicktime: Version 10.3
One other weird thing is, whenever I quit and restart AE, it renders fine once. After that it breaks.
Hope you can help!

Error message:
I can replicate the error again and again. I can predict that it will work fine the first render, second time it breaks.
I've done this a million times in CS5, and it worked fine in the CC trial. As soon as I went to 'full', it broke.
I REALLY hope this is sufficient information!
Tnx for taking the time to help me out

I lost my iPhone 4 and replaced it with the 5. I have been unable to restore my contacts and music. I was able to get other applications. The error message says that the file may be incompatible or corrupted

Does any one out there have any suggestions?

Hello,
How was your phone backed up?
Via iCloud or via iTunes.
If you have an iCloud back up maybe try following this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859 and see if that works.

AE CC Render error output module failed

Hi, I tried my best to find this answer on the forums but couldn't find anything current.
I have isolated two issues in AE CC where I can duplicate a failed render with this message:
After Effects error: Rendering error while writing file "xxx". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
This happens when opening an AE CS6 project and trying to render a simple comp with only one text layer and a moving mask. It also just happened after my first round trip test with Cinema 4D. I could RAM preview the c4d layer but the output to Quicktime h.264 failed.
I have even tried a full reinstall of AE CC. I have the basic FxFactory Pro plugins and MagicBullet Looks installed, but neither are being used since this is a single 1280x720 comp with a single C4D layer. Plus like I said it failed with the same error in past CS6 files.
I don't know how to force disable a plugin to test that, but I can't see how an unused plugin could cause a render to fail like this.
I'm on a new (late 2012) 27" iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB VRAM
OS X 10.8.4
AE CC 12.0.0.404
CUDA driver 5.0.59
Thanks for any suggestions!

Olaf, did you read my reply where I explained my solution? First you should try the steps outlined in the article Todd references:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime- errors-with-after-effects.html
There seems to be a good way to isolate if it's the same issue I had, though. Let me go into a bit of depth for you.
The trick was to launch the OS X app called Console, located in Applications > Utilities. It is a program that compiles and displays the system logs in real time. It's great to see the little things happening in the system that don't make it into the user interface. When I had my Console up and generated that same error you're having, I noticed this error in the log:
The key here is the Adobe QT32 Server, which is mentioned in the TCP part of the article I linked to above from Todd. In my case at least, what was happening was that a third party app called AirServer was talking to the system's QuickTime over the same TCP ports the QT32 Server engine was trying, and it resulted in Adobe QT32 Server crashing, and that alert being thrown up in AfterEffects.
If you're in the same boat, it means you have some sort of app or system extension that is also talking to QuickTime over TCP. That may not make any sense, but the easy thing to do is quit ALL third party apps, then quit AE, then restart AE.
In my situation if AE gave me the error and then I quit AirServer, the error still happened because Adobe QT32 had already crashed. You have to relaunch AE after closing the offending third party app.
To be sure you've quit all third party apps, open Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities), chose "My Processes" from the dropdown menu, and scan through the list to make sure. You don't have to recognize all the processes there, but you should be able to recognize any third party ones you put there.
Hope that helps!

QuickTime Player7 can't open "video.3gp". The file may be damaged or may not be a movie file that is compatible with QuickTime Player. How can i do to open movie file? on OS X 10.10.2

i just tried to open video file on youtube. but it shown "can't open "video.3gp". The file may be damaged or may not be a movie file that is compatible with QuickTime Player. How can i solve this issue?

In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

Quicktime render errors-output module fails

Hi everyone,
I'm having more and more trouble lately rendering out a simple uncompressed (codec = none) 1280x720 or 1920 x 1080 Quicktime.
This used to be my standard output format, ready for further encoding.
But now almost every render to uncompressed Quicktime stops at a random moment and give me the "Output failed" error message.
What the heck changed when going from CS6 to CC ?????? Anyone experience anything similar?

We need a lot more information than you've given us to have any idea:

AE Render Error - Output Module Failed

Hi all,
I have a problem with AE CC.
AE lets me render out (export) one file then after I try to render any more, I get the below message.
To combat this, I reboot AE and it then will let me render out one file, but I have to constantly reboot it to export/render more.
I have creared new project files, emptied my cache, cleaned data base etc, but I still get this message.
The comp's I am rendering out are small - between 1 to 20 seconds a piece and for the most part are only text layers created in AE.
Is this a hardware issue? I have been using AE CC for a week now, it didn't happen for the first couple of days, now this seems to be the norm. I only have CC progrmas open when I work - AE, Premeire, Psd & Bridge. Even when I have only AE open, I get the same message after exporting one comp.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!!!
Pat

I made a similar post a few days ago but it seems to only be affecting my QuickTime output.
I still have no resolve.
In my office currently there are 4 new machines all running CC. My machine is the only one having problems. The only difference between my machine and the rest is that I selected which adobe apps to download and install while the others installed all the apps.
I am busy doing that now.
The machines are all identical:
Adobe CC
Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit
Intel i7 - 3770k 3.5Ghz
16 Gig RAM
GeForce GTX 660
There are 6 hard drives on the system.
C drive is a solid state drive that i am also using as the cache drive for After Effects.
Sometimes I am able to render the QuickTime files on the 1st render, but after that, error message.
I tried uninstalling AE and reinstalling but that didnt work.
I tried various versions of QuickTime.
I tried all the suggestions in the link, and same as you, it 'fixed' it temporarily.
I will get back to you If I have figured something out.

After Effects Error: rendering error while writing to file...Output Module failed - 1610153646

Hi – I’m currently working with someone who is running After Effects 5.5v10.5.0.253 on a PC which is running Windows 7 Ultimate. The computer has just recently been built and the software is newly installed. (ie. a couple of weeks old, max). Up until now, we have been using After Effects with no real issues. But tonight, we started to see the following error message, when trying to render something out:
“After Effects Error: rendering error while writing to file xxxxx. Output Module failed, the file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153646” – displayed during render, which meant the render failed.”
We started to review forums to see if we could come up with a fix and tried a few of the more common suggested solutions, including:
Make sure there are no third-party plug-ins or Windows incompatible elements installed - as it’s a pretty new install, we haven’t added anything except out-of-the box elements.
Clear the render queue – did this, no change.
Reinstall Quicktime – did this, no change.
Reinstall Creative Suite – also no change.
Check the default program to open .mov files is Quicktime – Quicktime was already the default.
A bit more detail about the machine...
Ram is 32gb
GPU is GeForce GTX 660ti
250gb soild states
2tb raid drive
Any help would be much appreciated. This is now happening on all AE files, even files that worked fine earlier in the week. Other than the AE and QT reinstalls mentioned above, nothing new has been added to the machine this week. On a deadline – so a quick response would be amazing, right about now. Thanks.

Hi Mylenium- thx for the quick response. We have have tried a bunch of different settings. AVIs work and we can do image sequences too. The only major problem seems to be with Quicktime files. While I appreciate your suggetion to convert with AME - this is only a workaround. Was really hoping for a solution that will fix the problem in After Effects? Heard rumor from a few friends in the biz, that this is a major bug... if possible, some feedback from Adobe product devs or someone with a technical background would be great! Thx.

Rendering error whilst writing to file /filename etc./ An output module failed

I'm trying to render my composition in the latest AE CC 2014. I get the following error with all composition sizes and with different codecs: Rendering error whilst writing to file /filename etc./ An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464). Can anyone help me sort this problem?

AE build number? Codec used? System OS?

"...an Output Module failed" error screen...

Greetings AE Peeps!!
Long time - no see - been stupid busy. My Studio has just ponied up and upgraded our 5 Edit Stations to AE CS5. I personally am a huge advocate of not upgrading software while in the middle of a project, but this was out of my control. I am having a lot of crashing (app just quits for no reason while scrubbing) and other weirdness...like today. I am rendering a 3 minute piece in ProRes 4:2:2 (1280x720p) to my RAID (no special plug-ins or anything) and I get the following error at the very end of every render:
After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing to file (insert my RAID path here). An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)
I have never in 11 years got a "failed Output Module error". Can anyone speak to this and tell me how to get rid of it short of reinstalling AE?
Grazie! Ciao!
Joey

First, make sure that you've installed the After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update.
Regarding the output module failure: It may be that this is because you have an output module created in a previous version of After Effects that refers to a codec or set of settings that isn't working in After Effects CS5. The best thing to do is to remove the output modules from the render items and then rebuild them in After Effects CS5. That may sound tedious, but you only need to do it once, and then you can save output module templates that you know work with After Effects CS5.
As Mylenium suggested, there are some challenges associated with the fact that there is no 64-bit QuickTime, so we had to create our own 32-bit-to-64-bit QuickTime conversion layer (QT32 Server). QuickTime does work with After Effects CS5, but there are some hiccups in some cases on first use.
If this doesn't help, answer back and we'll help you through.
Oh, this might be useful, too:

Windows - error : output module .mov after effects

When exporting a Quicktime movie from After Effects on windows 7, I get the following error ...
After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file "(my main internal drive / my file name).mov". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-161-153464).
I see a lot of suggestions for limiting the number of processors by using "msconfig" to change the "boot" file. This seems like a poor solution because it affects how all other programs use the processors.
Does anyone have any other help on how to resolve this without reducing processors ?
Thanks, for any help.

RESOLVED
I uninstalled Quicktime Pro. Re-started computer. Re-installed Quicktime Pro. Restarted After Effects.
.mov output works fine now.

Output module failed 1610153464

I am running CS5 on a Mac 10.6.6. I have both QTX and QT 7.6.6 installed
Every time I render, it gives the following error message:
An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)
I've tested the files on a different machine and they open and render out fine.
I'm having these issues and I don't have any plugins installed.
Re-Installed everything multiple times, trashed preferences, removed plugins from the Application support and still no luck.
The only thing that works for me is outputting to a PNG or JPEG sequence.
If I try to render using the Animation preset, It gives the error message.
I also have been getting a weird "MooV" error message when I try to import certain types of quicktime files. Not all just a few random ones.
All of this leads me to believe it is a Quicktime issue.
Please can you help. Other than doing a complete clean operating install, which i am doubting will work.
Robin Souter

hey todd,
good thinking, I was just trying the very same thing. alas when I try to open my AE project in Media Encoder I get the message
"Could not connect to Adobe After Effects. Please verify that Adobe After Effects and Adobe Dynamic Link components are installed."
I'm scratching my head, this also worked yesterday.
Could it be anything to do with de-activation? I have cs5 installed on my workstation in my studio.
I also have it installed on my laptop at home. do I need to contact Adobe each time I want to use 1 machine or the other?
Also ever since installing cs5 on my laptop I get the following message each time I launch After Effects (dont know if its connected as I normally just click ok and use AE as normal)
"Runtime Error! This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information"
or maybe I didn't run the adobe uninstaller cleaner utility to get rid of traces of old versions, before installing cs5 to my laptop
thanks
