"Error: Unsupported File" on .mp4

I am trying to upload a several files with the following specs and iTunes Upload and Manage Files is give me an "Error: Unsupported File".
The Specs for the Files
Format: H.264, 640x360, Millions
AAC, 2 channels, 44100 Hz
Data Size: 5.9 MB
Data Rate: 1,579.84 kbits/s
From my research about files aloud to up load to iTunes these files fall into all requirements. Any suggestions or ideas as to why we are receiving this error.

It could be a bad meta data issue.
Can you delete all the metadata from the file and try uploading again?
If it fails, please post the following information:
1. The date and time the file failed at
2. Your domain and the name of the Collection or Group you where trying to upload the file to.
Thanks.

DVD-MOV mpegstream clip error: "File open error: unsupported file type"

I do it all the time this is the only time i've gotten this error, i use mpeg stream clip. I have a dvd I got from a DVR recorder, I open the dvd which shows 2 VOB files in the TS folder. the MENU gives "Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks." I "Fix Now" and it works fine. But i dont want the menu. the other VOB file in the TS folder, which should be the "movie I want" gives this error when opened,
"File open error: unsupported file type"
when I open anyway, I get an audio bar which has no sound, and no video.
ANY IDEAS? I've been on this for hours PLEASE

Hi,
Do you have the [MPEG-2 component|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2> installed on your computer? If not, you will need it to be able to convert VOB files.

I have exported my bookmarks in JASON format now when I restore this one its gives error " Unsupported file type"

I have exported my bookmarks in JASON format now when I restore this one its gives error " Unsupported file type"

Hello UbaidUQ, any luck if you rename the file with no capital letters = .json, (no .JSON)
thank you

File open error: unsupported file type Mpeg Streamclip

having a problem... I am using mpeg streamclip to convert vob files from a dvd. the problem is that the program says that the first vob file is an unsupported file type. I know that this is not true. The DVD plays, and the remaining vob files are opened and processed by the program correctly. Any advice or suggestions?

I am having the same problem. The first VOB file in the sequence will not open in either Streamclip or Quicktime. This is not the menu display image, but the first chunk of the video (the menu image actually will open). All the ones after it can be opened either individually or joined as a group.
The DVD plays fine on the mac and also in the regular DVD player. Any idea if this is perhaps some equipment fault when the DVD burner "finalizes" the disk? Am using a combo VHS/DVD-R unit. It is not super high-end, but then neither are these old home videos I'm converting.

Repeated "Unsupported file" errors

We are currently working with an iTunes site that has +not been published yet+ and have encountered numerous "Error: Unsupported file" messages. The files are .MOV with H.264 video, AAC audio, and range from 200-700MB in size (my understanding is that 1GB is the limit). In some instances, different files that are part of the same video series, and have the exact same compression settings, will produce different results—some will upload and some will not, despite being almost identical. What else could be preventing these videos from uploading?
Please let me know if there is additional technical information that would be helpful in resolving this issue.

Hello. W e are experiencing a similar issue. I have tried to upload a number of .mov files into an iTunes U course, all of which were created using the same settings in the same software (iMovie). I successfully uploaded these to a previous course, but in my new course (we migrated to a new version of our LMS) some upload and others upload most of the way and then show "Error: Unsupported File." The files use H.264 encoding and have a resolution of 320x240, at a bit rate of approximately 196 kbps; audio is encoded as AAC at 32 khz. In my current "group" (tab), I have seven files, all with identical specs, only four of which uploaded successfully; the others fail repeatedly. Here is a link to the feed for that group: https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/su.edu.7654378499.07654378507/ 4D06150C-7BD4-E434-A707-D957F28BFEA5%40su.edu/004dc3056783a9f36e102baa64634e57ed c48337046e354042fce4399bcf62c66f1a278bd4
please advise; need these to be posted very soon!

IDVD: Files exported from iMovie 11, one works, one "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format"

I used footage from the same camera (taken on the same weekend using the same settings) in several different iMovie "projects". All were shared from iMovie 11 as "File" using the quality setting "SD 480p".
In Quicktime Player, all ".mp4" files will play and they show the following info in its inspector:
Format: H.264, 854 x 480
AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
FPS: 29.97
One exported file will drag, drop, and burn in iDVD just fine. The other two files show the error "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format" as soon as I try and drag them into iDVD.
The only difference I can find is that the one file that works is about 803MB, while the files that don't work are 1.87GB and 3.98GB.
All files and the iDVD project are in the same folder on my startup volume. I've tried deleting com.apple.idvd but that didn't help. I've tried rebooting and starting the iDVD project from scratch but I get the same results.
Mac OS 10.9.1
iMovie 10.0.1
iDVD 7.1.2
Any ideas?

Hello Bengt and thank you again for the replies.
As I mentioned in my previous posts, I'm using iMovie 10.0.1 which has very limited quality adjustments. In every case I chose the smallest size, which iMovie 10.0.1 calls "SD 480p (854 x 480)". I used this same setting on all exports.
I still have iMovie HD (6.0.4) and iMovie '11 (9.0.9) on my iMac so I tried both of them. In both cases, they could import only the file that works in iDVD. Both older versions of iMovie choked on the longer movies shared from iMovie 10.0.1.
I have many many hours into the editing of these clips and I do not want to have to go back and redo everything in an older version of iMovie. Might I be better off going with a different DVD creation software? Or am I out of luck? Because I can't really change iMovie 10.0.1's export settings, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to get it to export it as something that iDVD can use (really, I can't even tell why it's different and why iDVD doesn't like it).
The software "WonderShare DVD Creator" has no issue with any of the files I've exported from iMovie 10.0.1.

Open library from AFP share - Unsupported File System - Aperture 3

Testing Aperture 3 - Exported a project as a library to an AFP (10.5) share.
I then tried to reopen the library and got an error Unsupported File System ?
Is there possibly a network file system that will support Aperture 3 libraries ?

Temp solution in this thread - tested it and it works
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2330306&tstart=30
I have found an workaround for this issue. Do the following:
First, upgrade the library to version 3 using Aperture on the computer where you have the disk containing the library; if this is not possible, copy the library on the computer running Aperture and do the update there, then copy the updated library back;
Then navigate to the network disk where you have the updated library and double-click it: a dialog box will come out saying something like <There was an error opening the database for the library "/Volumes/Media/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported> Click OK.
A new dialog box will appear asking "Which library do you want Aperture to use?" and a list with all libraries; among them, the library situated on the network disk. Select it and click "Choose".
Voila, after a delay depending on the speed of your network and remote disk, the library will open.
Note that this "show" will repeat each time you will start-up Aperture. Anyway, it's better than nothing. I hope that Apple will correct this soon.
And yes, I am using the Trial Version, I will buy a license only after Apple solves this issue! "

IDVD unsupported file type with jpegs

Hi,
I am working with iDVD 7.1.2....and trying to insert jpegs and/or Tiffs into the opening drop zones.
I keep getting the error : "Unsupported file type : Unknown format"
I haven't had this error before. I am getting my files from iPhoto, and/or dragging from the finder.
What should I try?
Thank you in advance!

Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

Importing .mov "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format" error

I have a .avi video from a camera and wanted to burn to a dvd to watch on dvd player. I converted the video to .mov but when I dragged into iDVD I received an error stating "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format". I converted to a .mp4 hoping that might work and had the same error. As far as I remembered .mov and .mp4 should work in iDVD and iMovie but I had the same error in both programs.
Converted to .mov with iSquint, and to .mp4 with Quicktime.
Any suggestions?

hi,
thank you for responding... i followed your instructions and this is what comes up when i try to open the movie:
QuickTime Player can't open_______.mov
To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.
i've done nothing different with this movie. it's the 2nd part of a longer project that i had to break into two parts. the first part was successfully burned to disk. i'm at a loss as to why this one is 'different' and why anything else might be required to make it work properly.
btw, here's the info from the entire project:
format: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (853 x 480)
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
fps: 29.97
data size: 42 GB
data rate: 30.31 Mbit/s
current size: 853 × 480

Video upload generating "unsupported file" error

Hi,
Today we're getting "unsupported file" error msg at the end of the video file uploads.
We are uploading the same type .mp4 with apple mp4compresson as we have previously without any changes.

I am having the same problem with .MP3 files. I even tried uploading a file that I had already uploaded last week and I got the same "unsupported file" error. The only thing that seems to have changed is the "Upload and Manage Files" interface and now nothing will upload. If there is any Apple people that could look into this it would be nice. I am also posting for a school, Santa Monica College.

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.

Unsupported Files error - iphoto 08 (Camera Canon IXUS 80)

Over the last couple of weeks we have been getting unsupported file error when we try and import photo's to iphoto from our camera. The files are jpg's and it has only been happening since 2009. All our other photos (6,000) seem to be fine.
Any advise appreciated.

It means that your other library has some form of corruption.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that doesn’t help:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

"Unsupported file type" error Msg on received email - DX2

I get an "Unsupported file type" message instead of the intended msg on some of my emails. Just what does this mean and how do I fix it?

Hi JR39,
The error message outlined in your post indicates that your email message includes a file that is not compatible with any of the applications included in your phone. You may look for a compatible third party application that will allow you to read/access the files in question.
Please note that Verizon Wireless does not recommend/support any 3rd party applications and if you encounter any issues with a 3rd party application you will need to contact the application's developer for assistance.
