M2v file 'not recognised' by DVDSP2 - URGENT

Encoded over night from 4.5 to compressor - no probs.
Quit everything, restarted machine, veryfied disk permissions, shut down, restarted.
Launched DVDSP2, imported a few assets, but then the main file - a 3.2gig M2v file was 'not recognised' by DVDSP2.
M2v file opens and plays in Quicktime okay.
Help anyone - can't afford time to rencode...
Cheers

Does the file have the proper file extension? (.m2v) I know that sometimes I have accidentally erased the extension or eliminated the period before the extension. Elementary suggestion and something that you may have already tried, but you never know.
Also, can you let us know what you used to convert the file to MPEG-2? Did you use Compressor and did the file get fully converted? It might be possible that the file did not get fully compressed and, though it can be played in QuickTime, is not considered completed in DVDSP.
Just a couple immediate thoughts.

  • Encoded Files (.m2v) are not recognised.

    Hello,
    My encoded files (.m2v) are not recognised. The icon shows the blank page istead of the normal .m2v icon. and when i try to import into DVD SP 4 it unexpectedly quits.
    what would i need to reinstall to fix this? i have no idea how it happened, i came back from out of town and it was like this.
    thanks, Nick

    You'll probably have better luck by posting this in the DVDSP forum.
    Anyway, the blank icon is not a good sign. Is the filesize of these files anywhere close to what you'd expect them to be?
    Are you using Compressor to create the files or a some other program?
    To me, this sounds like your encoder quit partway through the process.

  • Macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.?

    I have burnt audio cds using external burner(itunes 8).They are on the cd as it plays in the mac but will not play on our cd player.Iread something online about macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioInterchange_FileFormat
    any help please

    Several possible issues.
    1) Did you burn the CD as an audio format CD or did you just burn AIFF files to a CD as a data CD? CD players require an audio format CD, not just AIFF files burned to a CD as AIFF files.
    2) Older CD players can have problems reading burned CDs. Sometimes using a different brand CD, a longer burn time (slower burn speed) can help, but sometimes you just have to buy a newer player. CD-RW can present big problems unless it is specified as supported.

  • 10.4  Update files not recognised

    Using 10.4 on a second hand Powermac g4 from ebay, so no installation discs.
    Successfully downloaded standalone updates 10.4.1....10.4.9 etc but first one (MacOSXUpdate10.4.1.dmg) not recognised so won't install. others recognised but won't work until first one installed.
    Same with standalone combo update (MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10) it isn't recognised. Using AOL dial up so it's taken seven attempts (overnight) to get a continuous connection for the complete Combo download. (Same with Software Updates Combo from Apple menu on desktop)
    How do I get the right file which will be recognised ? or should I buy a full retail version of Tiger from ebay ? I'm concerned about all the probs people are having with updates as I am miles away from Apple Store for repairs and am a newbie. Many thanks for any replies.

    Welcome To  Discussions frenchbingo!
    Which version of OS X is currently installed on the Power Mac G4?
    If it is not Tiger 10.4.x, then as sig posted, you will have to purchase a set of install discs.
    Exactly which model PowerMac G4 is it?
    What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
    If it is this model Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics), it had OS 8.6 or OS 9.0 installed, when manufactured in 1999.
    Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
    Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.10 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
    Leopard 10.5.x, can be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Leopard System Requirements
    Jaguar 10.2.x, Panther 10.3.x, and Tiger 10.4.x, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, will be the most up to date OS.
    But, if you know what to look for, Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
    The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

    Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
    If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
    This Power Mac G4 Firmware Update 4.2.8 appears to be the one you would need to install.
    Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
    or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
    If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    Jaguar System Requirements
    -Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
    -128MB of physical RAM
    -Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
    -QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
    -DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
    Review these Apple documents for Panther System Requirements
    And Additional Panther System Requirements.
    Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

  • .m2v files not working in Encore CS6

    When I import .m2v files to the timeline, some of them (only in the video track) are not showing. I tried to open them on other programs, like Windows Media Player, and they won't open too. BUT... when I tried to work with these files in another computer and another version of Encore (mine is the one that comes in the CS6 Master Collection), they seemed to work fine, and I could finish the DVD authoring. What could be the problem?

    Sounds like a codec issue - present on one computer, not the other.
    In the "bad" computer, Encore is activated, right?
    Can you play one of the m2v files from the Encore library? Example, on my pc, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\Library\Entertainment\NTSC\NTSC_Nightlife.m2v

  • .m2v file not playing in Quicktime Pro

    I just purchased Quicktime Pro 7.6. I have a bunch of MPEG2 (.m2v) files that worked on my old iMac and am trying to get them to work on my new iMac. When I open the MPEG2 files using Quicktime, I get a "the file is not a movie file" error. Again, these are the same MPEG2 files that worked on my previous iMac. When I open the files using VLC, the video works fine, but it VLC doesn't play MPEG2s with audio, nor can it convert. Any idea why Quicktime Pro would not be working? I've tried the files with and without the .m2v extensions also.

    There should be a second, audio file that is associated with the m2v. The m2v container does not have the audio. VLC probably can't find the audio track.
    So in other words, you guys are saying that Quicktime Pro does not come with the MPEG-2 player component, and that will be another $20?
    Unfortunately, that is correct. Another option is [ffmpegx|http://ffmpegx.com>. It is shareware and costs $15.

  • M2v files not playing

    I have some older m2v files that will will not show any video in DVDSP the audio plays. Do I need to convert these?

    If they are proper m2v streams (not HD and not m2v with audio) they should work...are these m2vs with audio in them (transport streams?)
    When you open them in QuickTime do you have sound and video tracks? Sounds like you may....but if they are transport/multiplexed streams you need to make the video part seperate

  • Canon cr2 files not recognised in LR4.1

    I have Lightroom 4.1 running on a MacBook Air with 10.8.1 OS
    It is not recognising the files from my Canon 7D with v 2.00 firmware
    The files are recognised however in Bridge v 6
    Any solutions?

    What is your general work flow? Are you pulling the files directly from the camera? I was having an issue with my new 7D last night where Lightroom insists that it doesn't know what to do with the cr2 files when I was attempting to import them from the camera (Something it happily does with my T3 and has for ages)
    However, if I manually dragged the RAW files to their holding directory on the drive myself, and then imported them to Lightroom, everything was just fine.

  • Canon G7X camera raw files not recognised in Aperture?

    I use Aperture 3.5 extensively and have updated to, I think, 6.07 which is the latest update pack but the RAW files are still not recognised in Aperture. Am I doing something wrong or any idea when aperture will be updated for this relatively new camera. Many thanks

    The list of cameras that are supported by Aperture is here:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Your camera is not yet on the list, sorry. You'll have to wait for the RAW support to be released. You amy want to use your camera's software to develop the RAW files and to convert them to another lossless format.

  • Images files not recognised from Canon 5D Mark III

    iPhoto will not recognise any files from my Canon 5D Mark III. I have tried everything - updated all software, purchased the newest version of iPhoto, formatted the memory card, used a different cable, tried a different memory card. Tha battery is also fine
    I really have no idea what is going on. I have just upgraded from a Canon 5D Mark II and I never had any problems before.
    Any ideas?

    Is the memory card recognized if connected to the Mac with a card reader, built-in or external? 
    Have you applied this updater: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12?

  • .m2v files not recognized

    Hi,
    I'm hoping this is some very simple thing that I'm overlooking.
    My Mac Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 is not recognzing .m2v files that have been generated from Compressor. When I try to access the file, even just doing a simple Get Info, the Desktop goes away briefly and then comes back. It looks like the Finder has restarted.
    I know that the .m2v files are good. They play fine on another G5 here.
    Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

    You have the bug it sounds like where m2vs from Compressor will mess the Finder and do other assorted things, I had it for a bit then it went away
    See this thread for one discussion
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3361055&#3361055
    And one of the solutions that has worked for people (since you changed extensions that is part of the workaround a bit, sort of )

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Project Files Not Recognised by Windows

    Gidday, I hope someone can help with this problem.  Premiere Pro(and After Effects) have worked perfectly on my laptop up until now. Saved PP projects are not recognised by Windows 7. I can open a new project but once I save it, it is not recognised and won't open and I can't reset either as the default programs for those files. The applications are visible in the start menu so it is very strange as all were working fine last week and nothing has been done to the laptop in the meantime.
    Anyone else come up against this problem?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Steve, I just had this happen as well.
    I used the Programs section of the Windows Control Panel to initiate an uninstall.  On Adobe's Unistall setup screen (or whatever it may be called) I selected to uninstall PP only. When it was done I restarted and then installed PP only.  And then it was back to "normal."

  • Newbie Q - nikon d300s avi files not recognised - wants codec.

    I have just installed elements 9 and start a new project - i have some nikon d300a avi files on my hard disk and want to create a video. However when I try to import the files the program says this files are not recognised or the codec might be incorrect. What am I supposed to do now? thanks. Phil

    Well, CODEC's are odd little things. Some will work fine in some programs, and some will not.
    This ARTICLE goes into more detail, though cannot cover all possible CODEC's, or all possible NLE programs. When it gets down to why one might work with program ____, but not program ____, I call upon Chief Dan George, "sometimes the magic works, and sometimes it does not."
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - did you install a driver for the Nikon, and/or any software provided? It could well be that Sony's Vegas has an MJPEG CODEC in its installation, but PrE just cannot use that. Normally, if one has the MJPEG CODEC from the camera mfgr. things work OK.

  • WMA files not recognised

    Hi,
    Blackberry link does not recognise any of the WMA files I have on my laptop, nor does Windows media player 11 recognise the Q10
    What can I do to change that?
    Thanks
    Max

    Hey MaxONad,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    If you transfer the WMA files through My Computer to your BlackBerry Q10 network drive, do they transfer successfully?  Also try playing the media files as well.
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.
