Exporting Slide Show- Invalid media was found in the movie

I have been trying all day to send a photo album to Itunes to put on my Ipod. Every time I try I eventually get the message that Invalid Media Data was found in the movie. What does this mean and how to I fix this.

I am having the same problem. I am exporting a slide show (450 pics) and after A LONG TIME (probably double the previous time it took in the previous iPhoto), I get an error message that says 'Invalid Media Data was found in the Movie'. I also thought it might be protected mp3s (I have music with the slideshow) and I found one 'possible' problem song file, but after I corrected it, I get the same error.
I have noticed that iPhoto 09 gives an import error for some types of .jpeg files (in particular those imported after scanning using the Image Capture program). I also noticed as I was editing the slide show that there are 5-6 pictures that come up black when you flip thru them in the viewer/editor. They show up in the scan, but do not in the viewer.
I have run the slideshow in 'play' mode several times without issue. I urgently need this file for tomorrow. If anyone has any suggestions on workarounds today, I would appreciate it.

'An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie' Error Message

I was just tidying up all the music in iTunes and came across an album that half the songs are unplayable... I get no action with iTunes. I tried opening one of them with Quicktime and I get the following message:
An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie
I wonder if there might be a fix. I have the original CD at home but I am traveling and won't be back for a few months...
Thanks!

I tried to play video clips on from lynda.com and the Q appears but only the audio plays.I am new to Mac and have no idea what to do. The same clips play on my windows pc just fine and that is version 7.3.

What does "Error-2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie"means?

what does "Error-2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie"means?

I have the exact same problem. I have a PPC 6700, and now I can't view movies I created with it in mp4. If change extension file to 3GP video works just fine.
Also, when I try to see a webpage with a Quicktime video clip, I only get a Quicktime logo with a big question mark in it, but no play.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing seems to work.
I have Windows XP, and it worked fine until a couple weeks ago. Not sure if when upgrading to Quicktime 7.2, though.

Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie

I have a Nikon Coolpix L10 (about 2 years old) that records video in the .mov format.
Most of the time when I play the videos on my computer I used to get a bad flicker and the video would often freeze. When I used a video editing program I found that for every two frames of video there was a black frame.
So I thought maybe Quicktime wasn't 100% compatible with the file type or version. So after some deliberation I got Quicktime Pro and I have the newest version 7.6.5. The flicker is gone but the video still freezes.
So I tried exporting to MP4 or AVI or anything and I keep getting
"Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie"
It wont allow me to export the video to a different format.
Sometimes when I cancel the export Windows pops up a screen that it's searching for a reason that the Export Controller stopped working.

Thank you very much for the help. I tried copying and pasting the video file that is a .mov file to my zip drive and then I tried to an .avi file. The reason for doing this is so I can edit it with microsofts windows movie maker. After I had it on the zip drive and tried to export it so I could change the file it still defaults to the error 2002 message saying there is a bad public movie atom. I have done a bunch (5) other movies from the camera and they all worked and then the last one would not. So I assume there is a random factor that happens such as file size or something in the recording that causes the random atom attack. Maybe the difference is not being a mp4. It would be great if there was a definitiion of what bad public atom was and what it meant. Computers and technology is great.
I did another search and found that a person commented on zipping the file. Well I tried to zip it from the external drive I have to my desktop and it would not work. Then I ziped the file again. Saved to a external drive then unziped it to the same external drive. From that file I then did the file export and it went fine. So the moral of the story is if the video you took is important keep searching and trying and thanks for everyones help. Why is it the vendor of the product does not post solutions? Anyway now I can go on making movies and editing them. It must be a file corruption issue so that by moving the 1's and 0's around it fixes it's self. Is it a bug with the camera recording or is a bug with quick time?

My videos are defaulted to Quicktine and I have downloaded the latest QT player but all my movie clips now cannot be played and I get this error message Error-2002 a bad public movie atom was found in the movie.

I have used quicktime player downloads for movie clips made for equipment inspections. However in 2011 I encountered a problem when trying to view previously made movie clips that are in the quicktime player format but they won't play giving the messgae : Error-202 a bad movie atom was found in the movie,
I have downloaded the latest Quicktime player but the problem still remains. However late in 2011 when this problem was encountered I downloaded the the latest QT player download and then could play the movie clips but now the problem is back.
How do I fix this problem.
Regards
Richard

Hello,
This doesn't really solve the problem, but why don't you ask your colleague to resave or export test.3gp?
The new file will probably work. (vs troubleshooting your Windows PC can take ages, to no avail)

Cannot add video - "Error 2002: a bad public atom was found in the movie"

Okay, I've searched around and cannot find anything that works, this is driving me crazy! I converted a file from .avi to .mp4 and am now trying to add it to iTunes so that I can put it on my iPod Touch. When I try to add the file, whether by dragging and dropping the file into itunes or going through the File menu, nothing happens - no error messages, no notifications, nothing. If I try to open the file in Quicktime I get the "Error 2002: a bad public atom was found in the movie" message.
I've tried editing the tags with Tagger, tried the AoA MP4 patch, tried moving the file to a flash drive and adding from there, tried running iTunes in XP compatibility mode... all with no effect. Please, is there anyone that knows how to fix this?

Aperture Exported Slide Show Does not show last few photos

I exported an Aperture Slide show for an AppleTV (720P). The slide show has over 2000 photos from a recent trip. The slide show is about 115 minutes long.
Everything works fine until about the last few minutes, the music works fine but the screen goes black for about 7 photos, comes back on for 2-3 then goes black for the last 5 or so photos. Does anyone have any idea why the end of the exported slide show is doing this? If I watch the preview on my MAC everything looks fine all the way to the end.

In my case it was because my hard drive was nearly full. I emptied the trash (had not done this in quite sometime) and it freed up a lot of disk space. The full slide show compiled fine after this. I found this when another recompile warned me that there was not enough disk space to compile. Hopes this helps.

"XML Load error: An invalid character was found in text content" Drill Thru

Hi,
I am using Smart View, 2007 ms office.
We are using EIS to have Drill Through reports.
When I select the particular intersection and click on Hyperion --> Adhoc Analysis--> Drill Through Reports,
Drill Through selection window is opening but when click on Launch/Execute.
It throwing below Error
"XML Load error: An invalid character was found in text content"
This error is showing only some intersections...some other intersections are working fine.
The same intersection if retrieve from ESSBASE --> Addins--> linked objects, Drill thru reports are showing fine.
From Excel Addins everythg working fine.
I tried in 2003 MS office from my colleague system. the same error.
"XML Load error: An invalid character was found in text content"
Please someone help me....!

This type of Issue does not happen using Excel Add-in but Smart View. We encountered it as well. I have a feeling the root cause is the ESSLANG which used to be selected during installation. If the Essbase has for instance "English Latin1" or "English US Ascii Binary" and the client does not have it, then this would occur.
We had old SR on it because we were testin the APS 7.1.6. SR 2-603906: Excel Essbase Add-in splitting special characters such as the " ü " in. Whe we reinstalled and selected same ESSLANG as Essbase server the isue stopped.
We did not have to chnage our code to scrub out ant special characters. !

Hi Techies,

Then i downloaded the XML and opened it in notepad++. I found there are 2 weird characters like this ( , )
FYI, It is a non-Ascii character so not able to paste it in this forum text field. the characters looks like double sided arrow and a forward arrow.
I also tried loading the XML locally from RTF Template. Again it throws me same error

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the prolog of the docu

Hi folks,
I'm using the SAX parser to parse a small xml file. If I use that file in IE, there its parsing correctly and displaying the xml in the tree structure.
But in my Java code its throwing
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the prolog of the document.
The xml parsing code of my program is
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(
"org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
HelpPartHandler hp = new HelpPartHandler();
parser.setContentHandler(hp);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("sample.xml","r");
byte Contents[] = new byte[(int)raf.length()];
StringReader sr = new StringReader(new String(Contents));
InputSource is = new InputSource(sr);
parser.parse(is);
The xml file is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT>
<NODE> Java </NODE>
</ROOT>
Please let me know the mistakes what I have done. Looking for the reply.
Thanks in Advance
Prabu

The message seems clear to me. Your document contains a null character, which is not valid in an XML document. Take it out of the document, and change whatever produced the document to not put it there. (I hope you don't consider Microsoft software to be standards-compliant.)
