ITunes is corrupting video files

iTunes (7.2) have been corrupting some of my video files (mp4) and the video tracks are no longer available. I just can listen to the audio tracks.
I opened the files in QT, and got the same result: no video, just sound.
This just started to happen today. I haven't upgraded iTunes or installed anything, this is just bizarre. I've lost 5 movies so far. Files had been working for 6 months, and this never happened before.
Funny thing is file dates appear as modified today, but I haven't "modified" anything, I was just watching some videos in an iTunes playlist and video began to fail.

Hi all,
same problem here, but in a windows (shame on me...) network:
* Two PCs w/ Win 7 64-bit
* iTunes 10.7.x
* iTunes library on a D-LINK DNS-320 (firmware: 2.02.x)
After editing metadata of video files (adding art, changing title OR adding some details like year) the file is corrupt and will no longer play: not in iTunes, not in Quicktime, neither VLC nor MPC or any other Windows video software.
This happens always(!), it doesn't matter what PC I use to edit the metadata. Doesn't matter, which video encoder (Freemake, Aisee, even Quicktime and it's ATV-profile) I use. The original video input format doesn't matter.
Downgrading the D-Link firmware to 1.9 and/or iTunes to 10.6 doesn't give a result.
Today even some mp3 got corrupted after adding cover art. Therefore i can't believe the file size is the reason.
Maybe this is a hint: In Windows Explorer (something like the finder on a mac) I can't change the owner nor the user rights of the (corrupted or not yet corrupted) file. Is there any problem known relating to iTunes read-write-ability and NAS user rights whr storing the iTunes library on an external HDD?
What about the library size or the amount of media objects (130 movies, 500 TV Shows, 15000 mp3, ...)?
Any ideas or solutions anyone?
Or a good mp4-tagger (incl. cover option) for Windows?

martin

  • How do I stop iTunes from duplicating video files?

    For some reason unknown to me, iTunes duplicates the video files when they are added to the library.
    For music, when I add these to the library, the files stay on the external drive, and they are listed in the library.
    However, I now moved my video files to an extrnal drive, but when I want to add them back into my library, it wants to copy all of them (the full file) from the external drive to my itunes folder.  I moved them off of the computer hard drive because they take up too much space.  I don't want them here, but I do want them in the library so I can select and sync them.
    How do I add these videos to my itunes library, but keep the actual files on the extrnal drive?

    Turn off the option "Copy to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" under Edit > Preferences > Advanced.

  • ITunes corrupting video files on metadata changes

    I have some video tutorials that I've been attempting to add to my iTunes library so I can watch them on my iPhone and appleTV.
    The videos copy into my library successfully. They play fine on my mac / phone / aTV as long as I don't change any metadata.
    But as soon as I try and change some metadata...
    Well, things are getting weird.
    Sometimes I've been able to change the metadata on the file without any issue. However, most of the time, I make a change (album art, title, album name) that results in a pinwheel. The program seems to hang for a bit but then makes the change. Everything looks fine and until you try and play the video which will no longer play. Not in iTunes. Not in the finder. Nothing. Even opening the file in iTunes causes the program to crash.
    I'm a little confused, as I've been able to add videos before and make changes to every bit of metadata that my heart desired with no issues.
    I'm even more confused that the problem is intermittent and while this problem happens 90% of the time, it miraculously doesn't when I try to show / explain what's happening.
    It seems to me that there's most likely something wrong on my end within my iTunes library, but I'm not shure where/how to start troubleshooting.
    Anyone with any ideas or advice, your comments and suggestions are valued and appreciated. 
    Thanks,
    Ian
    ps. I'm running the most current build of Lion and iTunes.

  • Corrupt video files for iTunes

    This has been an ongoing problem that has gotten worse. I have several video files made from various sources (FCP X and Adobe Premiere) all formatted for an AppleTV with the .m4v extension on them. They work when I set them and add them to the iTunes library. Plays fine. Occasionally I will scroll through my library and see a generic gray film icon for the video. I click on it, nothing happens. It will not play. Selecting Show in Finder shows the file, which looks to be about the correct file size. The icon for the video file is a blank dog-eared document, which should not be. I can't preview it or load it into any video editing or compressor application.
    What is happening to my videos? Random corruption of these files is certainly not acceptable. And yes, I ran DiskUtility. It doesn't happen to all the self-made video files, just some here and there. Never has happened that I can see with any of the major videos I have downloaded from iTunes. Only the stuff I create and add to the library. Sooner or later, it will liekly happen to other video files.
    Any ideas as to what is going on?  Any thoughts on how to recover my videos aside from backups?

    Update: I tried loading in to every video application I have. Even MPEG StreamClip and it had to be forced to open the file. It did so, but at the very end jumpedout indicating it couldn't find any video or audio tracks.
    I have done nothing to these files other than let them sit on the drive. Every now and then one or two of them just reandomly corrupts. What's causing this?

  • Getting a Rendering Error "No Video in File" and now corrupted video file

    I've been working with some video footage in Final Cut that I recorded directly to my hdd using adobe Onlocation. I used the chroma key filter on it and then added an animation clip from After Effects, in the form of a .mov file to my timeline. When trying to render my timeline I get the "no video in file error."
    I used the render manager and trashed all the render files, then I manually searched my hdd and trashed any other render files I could find. Still getting the same error message. Gave up and decided to start from scratch except that now my original video file that I recorded with Onlocation is corrupted and I can't preview it in Quicktime nor play it in Onlocation. It also imports into final cut as a white screen.
    This is the only copy of the file I have (I know, stupid me right?) so any help or suggestions would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanks so much for your suggestions, the File Salvage option from digital rebellion worked!! Good as new!! made a backup and going to attempt to complete my project, but any ideas on why adding the AE clip to the timeline caused the corruption of the video file in the first place?

  • ITunes Misread My Video File on iPad 2

    hello everyone,
    today i'm trying to sync my ipad with my laptop. mine is iPad 2 32GB 3G+Wifi with the latest iOS which is obviously 7.1.2. i'm trying to sync it to my itunes ver. 11.4.0.18 which is the latest version.
    but when i syncing it, i noticed that my itunes misread my ipad video file. it said that i have at least 2.96 gigs with 26 files, but the truth is i don't store any video in my ipad at all at the moment.
    there it is. i screenshot it directly from my ipad.i don't really watch videos on ipad however. i wonder why is this happening?as long as i concern, i've installed the latest itunes, i've updated my ipad to the latest software. and i'm
    looking forward for your help.

    Hi Fahmip91,
    If you are having an unexpected report of video syncing to your iPad, but aren't seeing anything under the Videos app, you may want to check and make sure that syncing is unchecked under both the TV and Movies tabs in iTunes, as well as the music videos option under Music. You may find the following article helpful:

    If you are still seeing a mismatch with the data, you may want to try the steps under Resolution in the following article (it is aimed at a different, but somewhat similar, data reporting issue):

  • Need program to fix corrupted video files

    Hello,
    This my first mac and I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that could help me with the following problem...
    I am trying to import videos from my Canon FS100 camcorder (videos are saved on an SD card) and when I plug in the camera to the USB port it can only import one of 9 photos and none of the video. I received a message stating that the files were in an unrecognizable format. I have used the camera and the same brand SD card before and had no trouble importing photo and videos. After about an hour on the phone with APPLE help services last night, the support person concluded that the SD card files had probably been corrupted. Is there a program I can use to fix the files so I can import them to iphoto? I know that the SD card needs to be reformatted before future use but was hoping to be able to use the videos in iphoto and imovie. The file extension of the video file is .MOI or .MOD. I have tried importing directly from the SD card as well but receive the same messages. When I try to import the video clips into imovie, imovie shuts down.
    Thank you for any help!

  • ITunes mutilated my video files

    I had a serious issue when I tried to tag several movie files as "TV Show". iTunes kept spinning while the Info/Tagging window was open, and when I eventually cancelled its attempt, I found out that it had somehow destroyed the original files.
    They were there, but they would no longer play in iTunes, AND IT WAS NO LONGER PLAYABLE anywhere on my computer, or re-convertible. I don't know what iTunes did to those videos, but it mutilated them.
    Luckily I had the "originals" - eg the versions that weren't initially ipod compatible (such as .avi and .flvs and stuff) so I just ran them all through VisualHub again, after deleting the mutilated files. That was annoying because it takes quite a bit of time to do nice 2-pass H.264 conversions even on a MacBook Pro.
    The second time I (a) did not attempt to tag the files, and (b) made duplicates of them onto another drive as a back-up. So far things are fine, but it's annoying not being able to organise my movies more efficiently. Especially as video playlists don't seem to load on the iPod Touch - AND, as the Apple Help notes - there is currently a bug with video Smart Playlists not working at all (they won't save).
    Love my iPod, but its software/OS has some way to go. Roll on Februrary

    Well the other person has witnessed this behaviour - in that it took several minutes.
    I cannot see how it could NOT have been iTunes (coupled with my cancelling its tagging process early) that mutilated my files. What else could have done it? All the other movie files, that I did not attempt to tag, or that I tagged as Music Videos, were fine. All these files were identical in their codecs and conversion parameters.
    I have managed to repeat the error today, with a test file. The file goes to TV Shows, but is not playable. Trying to play it outside iTunes with QuickTime generates the error:
    "The movie could not be opened.
    "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie."
    Trying to open it with software such as MPEG Streamclip (which will sometimes even open damaged files), gives the error:
    "Unrecognised file type: open anyway?"
    When I click yes, it opens it, and gives:
    "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks."
    So I think we can confirm that (1) the file is mutilated and (2) iTunes did this during the "writing tags" tagging process, which I terminated early. I would be interested to know what goes on within a movie file during tagging that could affect the main file content data in this way.

  • Fixing corrupted video files

    Hello,
    So an unusual thing has happened to a project I have been working on in iMovie'11. I hope I can explain it properly, since the circumstances seems quite complex (to this layman at least).
    It began when I tried speeding up one of the clips I was using. When I applied this function, it corrupted the project: when spooling through the clips in the project editor, the corresponding video didn't appear in the screen to the right, so I couldn't edit it any more. So I undid the Change Speed edit, shut down iMovie and restarted it, hoping that I could pick up again from where I left off, without the final speed change edit. I have done this a number of times when this problem occurs, and it usually works.
    Unfortunately, this time, the project was still corrupted. In fact, all the projects I was working on, bar one, were corrupted, and I could no longer edit them. I couldn't even go into any of the projects, since the text in the button at the top left saying "Edit Project" was grey and didn't respond to clicks.
    Trying to salvage the project, I removed the New Event folder from the iMovie Event folder in Finder, and restarted iMovie. When it started, I was now able to enter my projects although of course, without any clips in the iMovie Event folder, I could only look at the individual thumbnail clips, and couldn't spool through them.
    I copied the clips from the project I was working on, created a new project and pasted them into that. Then I put the New Event folder back into the iMovie Event folder, and imported another clip. After I did this, I was actually able to work on the clips from my original project in the new project again. It seemed that the clips from my project were linking to the files in the iMovie Event folder, and the thumbnail files too. I thought I'd managed to save the project, but when I restarted iMovie the next day, the formerly working project was corrupted again.
    I know that the clips are there, organised and edited in the way I want them, but I think they are having trouble linking to their corresponding clips in the iMovie Event folder. In the event library in the bottom half, the bits of the clips I am using for this project are marked out in orange lines at the bottom of the thumbnails, as it would with a properly functioning project. So in a sense, the programme "knows" what clips I am using and where, but unless I can edit them properly in the project editor, I can't do anything with it, and certainly can't export it.
    I hope I've managed to explain this problem in a way that makes sense, and will be very grateful for your help.
    Thank you very much.

    I'm having the same problem!
    Help! I don't know how to fix it & have spent so much time on this. I just don't know
    what's wrong! It have many video clips in my project & had noticed that the viewer
    window wasn't playing the events but didn't worry about it. Added more clips to
    my project, photos, music & then POOF! One by one the videos in the project are
    corrupted! Tried re-importing directly into iMovie then reinserting into the project.
    That works but another video will corrupt. Also tried copying project & erasing the
    original. That didn't work!
    To try to fix this I tried erasing the plist file thing that some threads mention. It
    didn't work. All the events are iPhoto videos - does this have something to do with
    it?!
    I don't know what to do & have many, many videos to process. I went out & bought
    FCE (Final Cut Express) to try to continue w/o iMovie but even when I've learned FCE
    iMovie will still have things I want to use!
    Anyone out here have the solution?? Maybe I should re-install iMovie...

  • Itunes not reading video file

    I coverted an avi to mpeg4 and I added the file to the itunes library but it won't read it. What's the problem here?

    Haven't run another test feed yet but when I went to re-upload the file I can see that what was there was called:
    001nov11.mp3
    So is it the URL that I need to change? Not the file name itself?

    Do I need .mp3 to appear at the end of this URL?

  • Fixing Corrupt Video Files

    Hi All,
    So I think I may really be up the river. The other night, I recorded a conference in the DVCPRO 50 codec through Adobe OnLocation to a hard drive. As it turns out, when I try to play the files, I get the error message "this is not a movie file," odd, as I know it is. What puzzles me more, is that each file is large enough that there is clearly something there. I've tried MPEG streamclip and compressor to fix the problem but to no avail. In my research, I've come across suggestions about the hex codes being messed up somehow - but I have no idea about any of that sort of thing.
    If anyone can help, I'd be in your debt forever (figuratively speaking, of course). But seriously, I need some help, and any would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    I could play the video file before but sine OS and recent ITunes upgrade I cannot. iTunes indicates the video file in on the iPad but you can't find it in voids icon, apple support has not yielded an answer so far

    I found out: you cannot sync. clips directly into the iMovie APP via iTunes. Well, you can but it wont be available for edditing.

    My complaints and Questions MP4 M4V video files and other complaints
    I have been scratching my head as to how to fix my problem and I found some answers and some questions along the way. First of all, I have a video that should be correctly formatted for my iPod. Its specs are:

    Wow that was a chore. Apple! Let us drag copy and paste our info tabs information so we don’t have to type all this stuff when we are having trouble. **another problem and suggestion** right there.
    Ok, back to the problem of the forum.
    From what I can see from http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html this file falls in line of everything required in order to be able to play on my iPod. It plays in iTunes fine but will NOT sync with my iPod. I get an annoying message that states, “Some of the Songs and videos in your iTunes library, including “BlaBlaBlaiPondFixYourJunkBlaBlaBla”, were not copied to the iPod “My iPod” because they cannot be played on this iPod.” Why oh why can iTunes play this video file but my iPod cant. Especially when the specs on Apple’s website say it can.
    So that was bugging me for a LONG time until I found my “Create iPod or iPhone version” option in the “Advanced” heading. Thank goodness this made my files playable on my iPod. Extremely LONG wait though. I know that other programs convert it in ½ the time. But times not to important as long as it gets done, (would be very convenient if it was faster though **Problem and suggestion**)
    Ok, now that I have used the “Create iPod or iPhone version” option it has slowly but surly converted my video. Ok, here is my main problem, the new file which is the result of the conversions information is as follows:
    Kind: MPEG-4 video file
    Size: 35.4 MB
    Bit Rate: 125 kbps
    Date Modified: 8/18/2009 2:15 PM

    Video Dimensions: 352x264
    Video Codec: H.264
    C:\File\WhyIsThisNewFileInMyMusicFolder\TheMovieFileInQuestion.m4v
    So basically it has made my file bigger *not a bonus in my book* greatly increased my Bit Rate *another interesting feature*, and I think the biggest change it has changed it from an .mp4 to an m4v.
    Why does it need to be an .m4v I could have sworn some of my videos were or are in mp4 which shouldn’t matter anyway because I was under the impression that iPods could play mp4 files. So that’s my biggest complaint and question. Why can my 80GB classic iPod not play my MP4 files and why am I forced to convert them??
    This conversion also creates 2 files in iTunes when I am done which is annoying because I have to go into my files info and look to see what file is the mp3 in order to remove it. Very annoying I can open my iPod options and see the files and some are faded (the ones it can not play) why can’t I remove them from that area.Suggestion Apple please make files that cannot be played on my iPod stand out some how for easier cleaning Suggestion. Thank you.
    Speaking of cleaning iPods, when I moved my entire library to an external drive I was faced with a terrible problem. “This file could not be found, would you like to locate file”, I was faced with this annoying message at least 600 times. Now I am glad that iTunes has a little “!” mark to show dead links so that you do some minor cleaning, Good Job iTunes No compliant there. However iTunes has no way of selecting all the broken files for major cleaning (like in my case). Going through and deleting over 600 files 1 by 1 is extremely time consuming and annoying. **Suggestion Apple please add more cleaning features for organizing iTunes**.
    Ok, speaking of organization now, another problem that appeared when converting my video files was that it put my new videos into the location where I have all my songs (my external hard drive) why can’t it put the new files in the locations of the original file? I have my computer highly organized and my original files were in that drive in that folder for a reason. If I could open my original file and skip the conversion, my iTunes would go to that specific folder to access the file which is fine. But now these new conversion files are elsewhere taking up space and disorganizing my computer. True I can go into the new location and move the files to where I want them (original location) but I don’t think I should have to hunt them down, copy, move, delete ect etc for all these files over and over. Very annoying, time consuming and should be unnecessary. **Suggestion Make file creation and location more customizable, and user friendly, your customers will love you for it**.
    Well since I have gotten into Apples iTunes and iPod problems that I have had to face I might as well bring up one or two more problems and suggestions. About a month after purchasing my iPod a sibling bought one as well. His however is way more convenient then mine. I suppose he has a 5th gen. so here is my question: why does he have a search option and I don’t!!!! Why does he get more features every so often and I don’t?! Why can’t Apple write some software for us classic guys which got the iPods going! It’s very annoying when I have to spend more time looking for the song then I spend actually listening to it, when he can pull his up in like 3-6 seconds? I highly doubt the hardware between our iPods is that dissimilar and even if they are why cant software be written for us. **Suggestion treat all your customers good not just the newer ones, and make some more features for the classics like me and my iPod.” We will be grateful for it I promise.
    Ok, I am almost done. Let me just recap my questions, I know my post is kind of lengthy.
    #1. Why can’t my iPod play MP3 video files? And why do I have to convert to almost all the same settings except changing it from an mp4 to an m4v. according to Apples own site I should be able to play .m4v .mp4 and .mov files!! Note: remember iTunes plays them fine but my iPod will not.
    #2. Would be much more convenient to be able to copy the information from the windows in iTunes so that problems and trouble shooting would be much easier. A little check on off options in iTunes advanced settings would be terrific.
    #3. Why is the conversion so slow? Please speed it, you have the power. Convenience is the thing that sells products.
    #4. Files that cannot be played on the current iPod need to be easier recognized for simpler cleaning.
    #5. Also make an easier way to select all dead link files for faster cleaning, deleting, etc. This one is important.
    #6. Make a user friendly way to change where my files are going to end up once I convert them for iPod more options and better customizable settings are need.
    #7. One of the most important is ADD A SEARCH OPTION. I and we classics will LOVE Apple for it.
    For you readers, I apologize for the long post, and any grammatical errors you might find throughout it. These are problems that I have faced with these programs and hardware and I wanted to make sure they got acknowledged and hopefully addressed. Any information about why I cannot play MP4 Video files on my iPod would be the best. If anything in my post gets answered that’s the one I want most. Will save me a lot of hassle.
    Thank you all and I look forward to your suggestions and comments. All are welcome and appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Bond, James

    Was playing with iTunes and thought of another suggestion! Let us play files in iTunes from an iPod! A friend or sibling should be able to plug his iPod into my computer open iTunes and play any of the files there. Many times I have wanted to show a movie clip or video to a friend, and I have the dock so I can do it on my T.V. but play it on their computer in their iTunes forget it. That would be a very nice feature as well so we can watch our movies at maximum size or listen to music on a better sound system, just another suggestion that would be nice. Thanks

  • Cannot open corrupted .mov file - error 2048 unsupported format

    Hi all,
    I have an important corrupted video file and I have tried every way I can think of to open it, but to no avail...
    When I open it with Quicktime, an "error 2048 unsupported format" shows up, even though other videos I took are fine.
    I can't open this video with ANY softwares including VLC and friends (trust me, I tried LOADS of them)..
    After doing MUCH research I understand that either the header/closing part of the file is messed up.
    Is anyone able to teach me how to fix those parts?
    I'm really at the end of my wits and I'm a just beginner to hex-editing @.@ Better still, if you are able to take a look at this video for me...
    I'll be very glad if anyone can help me out with this as I really wish to recover the video, this is for an important friend, thanks in advance!
    P.s. the video is about 120mb in size

    Hi
    Im using the tool called SUPER.
    Its free and you can convert any file format to any other file format
    Maybe it would be possible to convert his faulty file to another format and ten you could try to open it again using VLC player or other application.

It appears I can only access these files when my itunes is open and able to be accessed via wifi. What am I missing? I would like to have the files themselves on the ipad so that I can watch videos when not connected to the internet, and not near my computer.
    Apologies, this is probably an easy fix - I haven't been able to find an answer,
    Elizabeth
