How can i repair a .mov file?

I have some important .mov files i have been using in FCP but have mysteriously become damaged and can no longer be read by quicktime or more importantly final cut.
Is there any software out there to repair mov files?
The files are still around 1.2gb each so the information must still be there?
Any help appreciated as this is quite an important project.
Chris

Not likely. Media files have a nasty way of not being completely rebuilt. But my favorite data recovery tool is Data Rescue. Note you will need a drive large enough to hold the recovered files. Do not recover to the same drive.

You have not provided much information but your main concern will be trying to figure out what happened to your files. Is the drive media damaged? Are they bad copies? And what is your next plan if recovery fails? You have only a 50/50 chance that it will succeed so start trying to figure out the next step.

  • How can I sync a .mov file of a home-made video?

    How can I sync a .mov file of a home-made video?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How can I convert a mov file to swf?

    how can I convert a mov file to swf?

    You don't. You convert your mov file to a mp4 h264 encoded file, and import that into Flash. Then export to swf (in a folder), and you use that swf in your page (do not forget to upload all the other assets as well).
    Alternatively, convert to html 5 video files which are also supported by mobile devices.
    Learn more here: http://diveintohtml5.info/video.html
    ps you can use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert your mov files to h264. Or to html5 video:

  • How can I convert a MOV file to 4K MP4?

    How can I convert a MOV file to 4K MP4 file? I can't find any default setting for MP4 nor I do known how to set one.

    Start with the Plus sign in the Setting pane> New Setting. Choose MPEG4 from dropdown. Give it a name and save and it will be saved in your custom presets. Make adjustments to resolution, bit rate, etc in Inspector.

  • How can I copy or move files with elements 10 organizer ?

    Hello,
    since a couple of days I use Elements10 Organizer under Windows 7 Home.  Since then Im testing how to come along with the product and it's features. Though I had many good impressions of many functions that work excellent I now have severe problems  to organize my workflow. The problem is: I can*t copy or move files or directories with the organizer and worse, I can't find files or directories that where copied, moved or renamed by Windows 7 Explorer even when I import or load the specified directory into the elements10  catalogue again. Off course I understand the elements 10 philosophy to have an image only one time within the data base and to arrange every collecting idea by tags and catagiories. Nevertheless there is a need to have sometimes a copy and also to know where the copy is and to manage it. Right now I find no way to handle these tasks by elements 10 organizer. I am a newbe on photoshop elements.
    I would appreciate if there is anybody who knows a solution to me. Thanks and bye, Woenni

    I am also having this same exact problem. Only some, and not all of the files on my external hard drive will copy. I get the "No Symbol" when trying to copy or move files.
    I am able to duplicate all files. I also can right click on a file and select copy. However on some files, I can't ever paste it (paste doesn't show up or is grayed out), drag it to another folder, or drag-and-copy it to another location or drive.
    The files are not locked and I have read and write permissions.
    The external that I'm trying to move and copy files from is a FAT32. Could that be a problem? How do I get my files off of this drive?
    *PLEEEEASE HELP!*

  • How do I repair currupted mov. files?

    Long story short, I edited a wedding on Final Cut studio. Both the software as well as all my uploaded footage collected on an external harddrive. BOOM  My hard drive completely becomes corrupt and I can't mount it (meaning my computer doesn't recognize the drive). I then purchased a data-recovery software and, after about two hours, recovered the corrupted files. I then downloaded "VLC" as well as "DIGITAL REBELLION" to repair the files and they cannot seem to do so. Case and point -HELP! I need these MOV. files as soon as possible and I turn to this forum for guidance of any kind. My Mac is a desktop iMac. It's completely updated and I'm running on iOS X 7.3. HELP (Beatles' voice)

    I take it you have no backups of these critical files?
    I really don't know what you can do.  Maybe some video expert will read this thread and offer to edit the data if that is possible (I have my doubts).

  • How can i create a .mov file from image sequence with different durations

    how do u create an image sequence with different durations? image one stays for 10 seconds and image two may stay for 30 and so on. each one has a custom duration. can this be done with an apple script or a text file saved as an mov file?

    Hello Omar,
    The example code Programmatic Printing of TestStand Reports - Modular contains a sequence that will convert an XML file to an HTML file given the XML file's path and the path to the stylesheet.  It may need to be altered to fit with the modifications you have already made to the report generation routines, but I think it should definitely get you off on the right foot.  Let me know if you have any questions!

  • How Can i Transfer dvd movie files using quicktime pro

    I bought quicktime pro under the impression that you can convert dvd movie files into ipod format if anybody has an answer please respond!!!!????

    QuickTime Pro can't even view DVD formats without some help.
    DVD's are "protected" with CSS software encryption and can't be viewed with the Pro version of QT.
    Find some third party software (hundreds of apps) by looking and searching through the iPod Discussions pages.

  • How can I link 1 movie file with several logic projects?

    Hi all,
    I've been  working on the music for a film with a colleague of mine and are sharing logic files via dropbox. 72 cues had to be altered for logisitical reason to work in someone else's studio for the final mix. Since I had a copy of the movie on my machine and my colleague had a copy on his we thought that if we put our movie into the root directory of our logic project's folder then the movie would automatically load up with the projects after we shared them via dropbox. We checked to make sure that both movies had the same filename. Unfortunately this did not work and we had to then reassociate 72 cues individually with each logic project. With such limited time to prepare the cues for the final mix this really took too much time.
    Is there any way in logic (9.1.8) to associate 1 movie file with a number of logic projects quickly, without having to open up the project and select open movie?
    kind regards
    /mischa

    Seems to me that if you both had the movie file in the same location on both of your drives (eg on Macintosh HD at root level, in no other folder) then all the project files would search for this common path and find the file.
    The problem arises when there is even a small difference between path names.
    Unfortunately, this won't help you at this point as all the project files already are associated with unique file paths for the movie. By now, you've probably already done it one by one - but maybe for next time....?
    There's no bulk or quick way to do this.

  • How can I open a .mov file with iMovie?

    Hi,
    I keep trying to open a .mov file in iMovie and it isn't doing it. Is that not a recognized file extension? Should I convert the video file somehow?
    Thanks!

    .mov is just a container for a variety of video codecs, some of which are not recognized by iMovie.  You will need to convert it first with a third party app such as Media Converter (which is free, see:   http://media-converter.sourceforge.net). 
    Another free app  VideoSpec (see:  http://videospec.free.fr) is useful for identifying all the details of a video clip

  • How can I repair broken raw files after restoring  a PSE 11 catalog to a new PC?

    I recently purchased a new PC so a performed a Catalog Backup on the old PC and then restored it on the new PC.  All the files are there, however, all of the RAW files are not accessible.  They show up in the catalog with the broken file icon and cannot be opened.  Is there anyway to repair the RAW files without having to do a complete backup and restore again?   CW

    Thanks for the quick response.  If ACR is the Raw PlugIn I checked that and my camera is supported by the version I have.  I have been working with RAW files before with no problems.

  • How can I repair Vista system files with only a Toshiba recovery disc??

    I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the reason I can't install Vista service pack 2 is due to some corrupt vista files. I ran the program that checks that system files and it said some are corrupt. There are some things I can't do, like turn on the Windows firewall even from that special adminostrar screen, or if I schedule a check disc scan, when I reschedule it for start up, it doesn't do it at startup. I had a Red Screen about a year ago, and it did a bunch of stuff and at the end, it said you had a major event and contact your administartor. Well, I am the administartor, lol. Anyway, it worked fine and I attribute these problems to that event.
    Vista discs come with a repair option. All I have is the Toshiba disc that lets you reinstall the Toshiba and Vendor applications OR reformat the hard drive. I am not going to spend days trying to get my system back to where it is by tracking down everything I have installed especially when its working. Is there a work around? I will buy a Vista Home Premium disc if I have to before refortmatting. I have an x205-S9349 with Vista Home Premium. THANKS!

    You must try Exchange Server Repair Toolbox restoring information from damaged Microsoft Exchange Server databases. More information here: http://www.exchangeserver.repairtoolbox.com/
    Solutions below will provide you more variants:
    Exchange administrators can take the help of Eseutil and Isinteg utilities to repair corrupt exchange databases. Both Eseutil.exe and Isinteg.exe utilities are inbuilt with MS Exchange Server and facilitate soft and hard database recovery from the corrupt Exchange
    Server.
    Do the following steps to run Eseutil.exe from command prompt:
    1. Click on Start>Run
    2. In the run box, type “cmd” and press “ok”
    3. Go to C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin directory
    4. Type Eseutil.exe in command line
    If EDB files are severely damaged, then you should use Eseutil/p command. The command line to repair severely damaged private or public EDB file is:
    Eseutil /p C:\Program files\Exchsvr\mdbdata\ primary name.EDB
    Run Isinteg.exe for integrity check of repaired EDB databases. The command line will appear like this:
    Isinteg –s {Exchange Server name}-fix-test all tests
