'general error' when trying to get clip from browser to viewer

I'm trying to put together a short instructional video (a kind of 'quick intro' on what a particular website is all about).
Some clips in the video consist of screen captures (made with iShowU) while others are 'live' from a firewire camcorder.
There's no problem with the camcorder clips. All going according to plan there.
However, *when I try to get the screen grab clips from the browser to the viewer (to mark in/out points, etc), I get a 'general error' message followed in quick succession by an 'out of memory' message*. (I have 8GB ram so I'm sure memory's not the issue.)
I can drag the screen grab clips from the browser directly to a sequence in the timeline, but not to the viewer.
Neither quitting FCP nor logging out (and back in again) fixes the problem. (BTW, I'm working with a PAL setup on the camera and am capturing in PAL dimensions in iShowU, if this has any relevance here.)
I'm tearing my hair out... Maybe it's something very simple that I'm doing wrong? *Any ideas on how I might get the screen grab clips from the browser to the viewer?*
TIA.
Hugh

Sounds like iShowU may be writing a less-than-valid QuickTime file.
If you can successfully drag one of these items into the timeline, I'd drag it in and then File->Export->QuickTime Movie... checking the Make Movie Self-Contained box. If this works and you have a lot of clips you might try dragging them all into a timeline and then saving them as one big movie. Sounds like they're not that long so such an approach shouldn't get you into FCP performance problems.
Another approach would be to open each movie in QuickTime and do a Save As... with the "Save as self-contained movie" option.
Either way these will probably write a MOV file that FCP will be happy with.
Good Luck!

  • SharePoint Designer 2010 Error occurs when accessing Edit Form: "The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source ..." This occurs when using "" in a calculated column in a SharePoint List

    I created a calculated column "Expiration Date" in SharePoint 2010 with formula, =IF([Contingent Hire]=TRUE,(Created+90),(IF([Contingent Hire]=FALSE," ")))
    This works in the SharePoint list but when I go to edit the Edit Form in Designer. I get the error specified in the title of this post. I'm trying to make it so the Expiration Date is blank when another column, "Contingent Hire" (a YES/No
    column) is FALSE.
    The Edit Form is essentially a DataViewWebpart. If I remove the " ", like so, "(IF([Contingent Hire]=FALSE,))" from the calc column, the error goes away; however, the Expiration Date field does not
    remain blank like I want it to.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? (Below is the error generated when I open Designer and then try to open the Edit form for the corresponding list containing the calc column)

    Hi Jack,
    Could you provide a screenshot about this issue?
    As Dimitri suggested, you can install the update for your SharePoint Designer and check again.
    And you can also check if you can display "NA" instead of " " in your calculated column per the following post.

  • Error when trying to run UCM from browser -The portal page for your Content

    Hi
    When I try and run the UCM in a browser using "http://localhost/idc", it showing
    "The portal page for your Content Server needs to be rebuilt. Start the WebLayout Editor as a standalone application and select Update Portal... from the Options menu."
    I did see a previous message that says to go to Weblayout Editor Applet - Options - Build Home Page - Update -Ok, but I was not able to see the Build Home Page option in the drop down.
    Any ideas what may be causing this issue?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Cheers
    Sylvia

    Hi Srinath
    Thanks for your reply.
    Commenting out the following lines still does not fix my problem.
    <div align=center><b>Welcome to UCM10g for SIF DEV</b></div><br>
         <$if IsLoggedIn$>UserName = <i><$UserName$></i><br><$endif$>
         <$if IsDynamic$>Current Time = <i><$dateCurrent()$></i>
         <$else$>This is a static page.
         <$endif$>
    I have installed this product on two environments following the same kind format.
    In our dev environment I am able to type in the following to get to the Welcome to Content Server Page
    http://devenv/idc/
    In the other environment I use the following and I get that the error "The portal page for your Content Server needs to be rebuilt. Start the WebLayout Editor as a standalone application and select Update Portal... from the Options menu."
    http://testenv/idc
    So the only way to get to the Content Server Page is to type the full path as below which I don't want to do, because I want the welcome screen to appear first.
    https://testenv/idc/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE&Auth=Internet
    Is there a way I can configure the application to get to my welcome screen instead of getting the error message detailed above?
    Thanks

  • 8008 Error when trying to download movies from iTunes

    I've searched Google and the discussion boards but no one seems to have a fix for the 8008 error when trying to download movies in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes, my Mac Mini is up to date with all of it's patches, I've tried deleting the movie in the download folder and redownload the movie but I still get nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix?
    Thanks,

    Morning pettis360,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    Hope this helps,

  • Error when trying to load data from ODS to CUBE

    hi,
      Iam getting a short dump  when trying to load data from ODS to CUBE. The Run time error is 'TYPELOAD_NEW_VERSION' and the short text is 'A newer version of data type "/BIC/AZODS_CA00" was found than one required.please help me out.

    Hi,
    Check this thread.........Ajeet Singh  has given a good solution here.........
    Re: Error With Data Load-Getting Canceled Right Away
    Also check SAP note: 382480..................for ur reference............
    Symptom
    A DART extraction job terminates with runtime error TYPELOAD_NEW_VERSION and error message:
    Data type "TXW_INDEX" was found in a newer version than required.
    The termination occurs in the ABAP/4 program "SAPLTXW2 " in "TXW_SEGMENT_RECORD_EXPORT".
    Additional key words
    RTXWCF01, LTXW2U01, TXW_INDEX
    Cause and prerequisites
    This problem seems to happen when several DART extraction jobs are running in parallel, and both jobs access table TXW_INDEX.
    Solution
    If possible, avoid running DART extractions in parallel.
    If you do plan to run such jobs in parallel, please consider the following points:
    In the DART Extract configuration, increase the value of the parameter "Maximum memory allocation for index (MB)" if possible. You can estimate reasonable values with the "File size worksheet" utility.
    Run parallel DART jobs on different application servers.
    As an alternative, please apply note 400195.
    It may help u.........

  • Error when trying to export excel from Chrom

    Hi,
    I get the following error message when i try to export the excel from Chrome browser. Has anyone encountered this error when trying to export from Chrome ? can you please give me the solution. 
    Thanks.
    Error message:
    To export a list, you must have a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application

    Hi,
    From your description, when you export a SharePoint list to excel from chrome, you get an error.
    In my SharePoint 2013, when I export a SharePoint list to excel from chrome, it works fine.
    For your issue, make sure the excel client have been installed in your environment.
    To narrow down the issue, I would like to confirm the following information:
    To check whether the issue is related to the browser, I suggest you to do a test in other browsers, such as IE and compare the results.
    What version is your office client? office 2013 or 2010? 32bit or 64 bit?

  • Error when trying to migrate project from labwindows 2010 SP1 over to VS2008

    I'm sure I've been successful back with this when running CVI 8.5 and VS2003 / 2005, but I keep gettin the following error when trying to do this with my current configuration. What am I missing?

    Not recently, but what I would say is that CVI 2010 SP1 was installed after my VS2008 installation, so it ought to be in the right order.... When I get a moment I'll reinstall the CVI runtime and see what happens. Its not critical that I get this fixed, as the project in question is so small, and as the important parts are almost competely ANSI C, it should be really easy to reconstruct in C# anyway. I'll let you know what happens anyway

  • Getting an error when trying to download music from Family Sharing

    My husband & I are signed up for family sharing. When I try to download any of the music I get this error, "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
    What does this mean & how do I correct it?

    Howdy mrscaskin,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you recently setup Family Sharing and are seeing an alert when trying to download a past purchase from the iTunes Store. The article linked below will explain the alert you’re seeing and provide information about using Apple IDs with multiple devices.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
    Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each device or computer was associated with your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days remain before your associated devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID.
    I hope this helps.

  • I get "General Error" when trying to playback unrendered video, and when trying to export to my desktop and I'm not sure why.

    I import video footage into Final Cut Pro 7, added some effects like motion blur and colour correction, and cannot playback the video whilst it is not rendered. I click the play button but it just says "general error". This also happens when trying to export to my desktop "general error" once again. Does anyone know what is going on?

    Hmmmm it seems to be just that file. The rest of my files are fine. I tweaked some settings and tried other files and it worked, so maybe it was just me, I am very new to Final Cut after all. Turns out I'm OK now! Thanks anyway!
