I/O Error when exporting to Quicktime

Any suggestions? Have tried exporting to various drives but same result.

I'm editing on a Dual 2.7 GHz Power PC G5, 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, the footage is on an external 500 GB Lacie drive connected by FireWire 400.
FCP = 6.0.2
Quicktime = 7.3.1
Sequence Settings: 720 x 576 PAL, 25fps, DV PAL, 48.0 KHz, 32 Bit Gloating Point.
Duration is 84 mins.
Exported via in and out points via Quicktime, self contained file, current settings. Have tried exporting to the hard drive and two externals - same error. Even a small clip half way through results in a general error.
This is the first time I've encountered this problem.

  • Error when exporting as Quicktime

    Help
    This is really frustrating and baffling.
    I have a flash project which consists of a .mov import with graphics mottions over the top.
    First there was no sound when exporting the project as a swf
    I then tried to export the project as a Quicktime .mov but got an error message "could not complete operation because of an unknown error"
    What am I doing wrong?
    I am using Flash 5.5

  • Error when exporting with Quicktime

    I'm having some problems exporting with Quicktime from iMove '08. Here are my settings:
    (The highlighted portion says 20,000 kbits/sec)
    I have exported using these settings before, but for some reason, it gives me error code -2002 when it finishes exporting now, and tells me that it can't export. Anyone know what error code -2002 is? I can't find it here or on Google. Exporting straight to m4v worked just fine.

    I'm exporting at those dimensions because that's just where I had it set (lol). I didn't even realize it was HD until just now, but like I said, I put the lowest possible data rate (32 kbits/sec) and the smallest dimensions possible (160x120) and it still didn't work.
    However, I had completely missed the fact that the audio wasn't being exported. I reset the audio settings and tried again on the smallest setting, and that worked. Thanks for your help!

  • General error when exporting to Quicktime from FCE

    I've built a slideshow with still photos, text, and audio. I've done this at least 20 times. When I start exporting to Quicktime, as I want to burn a dvd in iDVD, the export stops at 27% completed and I get a "General Error". there is no explanation. I've rendered the single sequence many times and it says ok. It plays fine in FCE but won't export to Quicktime. How do I correct the problem?

    I think I had the same problem that you are now having. I would get unexpected errors when trying to:
    1) Log and Transfer videos to external hard drives.
    2) Save my exports to an external Hard Drive.
    3) Copy large video files to the External Hard Drive.
    Assuming that you are using an external hard drive, chances are that isn't formatted correctly. It cannot be formatted in FAT32 or else large files (usually video) over 4GB cannot transfer. It may be that the file you are trying to export is larger than 4GB. If it is currently formatted FAT32 it needs to be formatted to Mac OS Extended. Hope I was of some help.

  • Error when exporting from Quicktime Pro

    I don't really like how any of the Adobe products export H.264 .mov files so my normal workflow that I've been doing for years is to export as a high quality MPEG4 and then open it in Quicktime and export as H.264 from there. I went to do this today and it gave me this error message "Export Controller has stopped working". When I click OK on that it gives me this error in the progress window:
    http://screencast.com/t/N2ZjNjcz
    I've tried this with multiple videos and got the same thing, as a test I tried exporting as MPEG4 and I got a similar error (different code). As I was typing this I tried Export For Web and got the same error. Any idea how to fix this?

    There's another thread here discussing the same error message, though not in exactly the same circumstance:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2212899&tstart=0
    Perhaps something in that thread will help you.
    Good luck.

  • Error when exporting to QuickTime

    Hello,
    I've seen a few older posts dealing with this exact same problem, but I was wondering if there has been any new development/ideas to work around it.
    I've been putting together a Keynote presentation with animations, video, and audio (all of it synchronized). To my surprise, when I tried to export it to QuickTime I got all sorts of errors. Removing the audio before exporting gets rid of the error, but if I load the generated QuickTime movie into iMovie and add the audio later, nothing is synchronized.
    Has anybody found ways around it? I would have to throw away all the hours I've invested on this presentation.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Julian

    Wow Kyn, that's quite an arsenal of resources! Thanks so much for sharing.
    Unfortunately none of those suggestions did the trick. I have Keynote 3.0.2 just in case that makes a difference.
    What I have found out though, is that the problem is related to slides that contain QuickTime movies. Following the suggestion from your last link, removing the slide that causes problems and (painfully) re-creating it does help. However at some point the recreated slide also becomes "corrupted" and QuickTime export stops working. Quite frustrating...
    One quick question...on the last link, when the author refers to the "speaker icon", where is that? I don't think I've ever seen that before...
    Kind Regards,
    Julian

  • Getting Export Controller Error When Exporting MPEG2 to High boardband & up

    I just got QuickTime Pro and MPEG 2 Playback for Windows. I am getting an Export Controller Error When Exporting MPEG2 to High boardband or to the default settings. The file I am exporting is around 60 MB and when it gets to about 15%, the program errors. However, the program works for Medium and low Board band. If anybody has a solution for my problem, I would love to know.
    Thanks!

    Not sure if this is going to work, but it worked for me. After exporting the movie and I got the error, I noticed that the process "exportController" was still running, so I stopped it from the task manager and am not sure but apperantly that was the problem because once I did that the file open up fine in other players like Winamp. Also after stopping the process the following exports I did seemed to be exported fine without any errors !... worth a shot.

  • 'file could not be written due to an error' when exporting jpg

    I'm working with an Illustrator file in CS2 and after a certain point it has started saying 'the file could not be written due to an error' when exporting to a jpg.
    i've tried a couple things like deleting layers and although the file is much smaller, it still says the same error when exporting.
    at its highest it was 130mb as an illustrator file and jpgs were 2-5mb.
    i''ve tried copying some of the layers into a new file but the error report still comes when i'm exporting.
    i have vector and raster based data in the file and tried turning off/deleting either of the layers and there is no difference.
    i don't understand why it's started doing this because before it had no problem at all exporting before.
    ANY IDEAS ANYONE?  I'm trying not to have to reproduce days of work to remake the file.
    many thanks,
    P

    Mylenium,
    Sounds like you know a good deal about this product.  Is there any way to restore a color profile/setting to an earlier point?
    I don't recall changing it and to tell you the truth, wouldn't be able to say which it may have been set to before - if different.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Error when exporting reports using MAPI

    We created a .NET class that wraps CR 2010 .NET Crystal Reports functions and made it COM visible. This class is used to create a COM object in a js script which in turn used to export reports to a PDF file with the destination MAPI.
    It exports reports just fine without any errors however if prior to instantiation the exporting class we instantiate a class that has nothing to do with the Crystal Reports functions, our exporting object throws u201CExternal component has thrown an exception.u201D error when exporting. It appears that it has something to do with the SideBySide feature. I was wondering if somebody knows what causes this and if there is a way to fix this problem.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Error when exporting to flat file in ODI 11g

    This works ok in ODI 10g. I'm using IKM SQL to File Append on Windows Server 2008 R2
    Getting the following error when exporting to a flat file in ODI 11g: ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array
    I've seen a couple of threads like this on the forum, but I've never seen an answer to the problem.

    Problem is with the difference in behaviour for the IKM SQL to File Append KM between 10g and 11g.
    Our 10g target file datastore had a mixture of fixed string and numeric columns. Mapping from the source to target was simple one to one column mapping. It generated the desired fixed format flat file; numerics were right adjusted with embedded decimal point and leading spaces. Each numeric column in the generated flat file occupied the exact space allocated to it in the layout. This gave the desired results, even though documentation for the 10g IKM states that all columns in the target must be string.
    When we converted to 11g and tried to run this interface, it generated an error on the "numeric" columns because it was wrapping them in quotation marks. The result column was being treated as string, and it was larger than the defined target once it acquired those quotation marks.
    In order to get 11g to work, I had to change all the numeric columns in the target data store to fixedstring 30. I then had to change the mapping for these numeric columns to convert them to right adjusted character strings (i.e. RIGHT(SPACE(30) + RTRIM(MyNumericColumn),30).
    Now it works.

  • 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.

  • SSRS XML Errors when exporting to .xlsx from Dynamics NAV Database

    We use Dynamics NAV for our ERP and have many SSRS reports.  We get xml Errors when exporting to Excel .xlsx.  I've seen this happen since SQL 2008 R2 and have posted in many places trying to find an answer, but was hoping MS would solve the
    issue.  The numeric data types in the Dynamics NAV database are all decimal(38,20) and when the value is zero the Excel renderer throws the errors. 
    We now have over 400 reports and we export them to Excel 2003 format. I'm starting to feel like this is my new Y2K issue when Excel 2003 is set to sunset.  I'm fearing that I'll have to do conversions on all numeric data types for all reports. 
    Both of these are Microsoft products so I'm wondering is this even on their radar.
    We're running SQL Server 2012 SP2, and just rolled out CRM 2015 on SQL Server 2014.  I get the errors in SSRS 2008R2, 2012, and 2014.  Has anyone seen this before?

    Hi Skywalker73,
    According to your description, when you export the report to Excel, the error “Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content.” throws out when opening the Excel file.
    Based on my research, it has reported the same issue when exporting to Excel. The issue could cause by numeric columns has  a precision of 16 or higher. To fix the issue, we could change data type in the table to a support lower precision, or convert
    the numbers in the stored procedure that populates the report. For more information, please refer to this article:
    SSRS 2012 Bug – “Excel found unreadable content”. Besides, please refer to this
    article to check if non-printing characters exist in the report.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
