.mov Forbidden File Name

I tried to upload a newly created Site Folder Podcast from iWeb to my Comcast Web site using Fetch and received a "Forbidden File Name" error message with a .mov file. I have successfully uploaded another Podcast to Comcast without a .mov file. I can't seem to find the correct extension to use or whether I can upload a quicktime movie to this site at all. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Don

Thanks,
I connected the file name with a _ and then was able to upload it to Comcast. It wouldn't play but I will work on that. I wondered if the change of file names caused a problem in the index or directory. Anyway, thanks for helping a novice HTMLer.

  • Why don't my videos (movies) display file names?

    I have about 20 movies on my Lumia 928, but the file names don't display.  The movies play fine, but it would be nice to know the names of the movies without having to play them.

    I can see how having to play the movie without knowing the file name would be a hassle.
    I have researched this matter & I do believe this is just a part of the design of the phone.
    I have even checked with HTC http://bit.ly/14DuBW3 to see if they know of any other way to do this, but nothing yet.

  • Cover Flow file name covers preview image

    Probably wishful thinking, but is there anyway to change Finder's Cover Flow settings so a file's name doesn't cover up the image?
    (Preferably have the name under the image, like in Mavericks)

    I have the same question. The file name covering part of the image is distracting and seems like the kind of thing that should be available as a setting. Seems strange that the designers would choose to move the file name on top of the image and obstruct it. I'd love to know if there is anyway to move the file name so that it isn't blocking part of the image. Using column view is an alternative option which provides a nice large and unobstructed view of images in much the same way but with the added slight load delay with larger images that cover flow seems to be without since thumbnails are loaded within the cover flow. Still covering images with a file name seems like something that slipped through the cracks.

  • Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

    I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
    Thanks, Rick

    The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full.  You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
    A -36 error is a read/write error.
    All you did with the power is reset the SMC.  Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings. 
    Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?

  • Trying to move a file based on file name

    ok, so i feel like this should be an easy thing to accomplish, but sadly, i can't seem to get it. here's what i got...i have an automator app that will take a file that has been scanned in (pdf) and rename it to the name in a field in one of my filemaker databases. got that working. now, depending on the name of the file, i need this applescript to move that file to the correct folder. for instance...if the file name starts with "P", then i need it to move to 'folder 1'. if it starts with 'L", it needs to move to 'folder 2'....and so on. this is what i've got, but it doesn't work. can someone point me in the right direction?
    on run {input, parameters}
    set FileName to input as text
    tell application "Finder"
    if name of FileName starts with "P" then
    move file FileName to folder "Drive:Folder:Folder1"
    else if name of FileName starts with "8" then
    move file FileName to folder "Drive:Folder:Folder2"
    else if name of FileName starts with "L" then
    move file FileName to folder "Drive:Folder:Folder3"
    else if name of FileName starts with "T" then
    move file FileName to folder "Drive:Folder:Folder4"
    end if
    end tell
    return input
    end run

    try...
    if character 1 of FileName is "P"
    edit:
    Whoops rereading your code I realized I completely misdiagnosed the problem there as "begins with" is proper applescript. What are you passing in as Filename? Try a "display dialog FileName" near the beginning of your script and see what you get. You might also try ...if fileName contains "string"...so you don't need to worry about starts with etc.

  • I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens this one file.Ideas?

    I can't open one Quick Time movie file.  It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens on this one file.  All the others of a two hour shoot are fine. 
    Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it? 

    Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
    The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

  • Prores files not recognized... most of the time [message -- file '[file name].mov' cannot be imported – this 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported.]

    Running AE CC 13.2 on iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2
    I just started getting an error message when trying to import any number of ProRes 422 (HQ) files.
    file ‘[file name].mov’ cannot be imported – this ‘MooV’ file is damaged or unsupported.
    This happens approximately 90% of the time. There have been occasions where I can open and view files of this type.
    I have gone through the various troubleshooting options here:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktime-files-in -after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quicktime-component.html
    I reinstalled ProApps to no avail.
    Permissions are fine.
    Creative Cloud recently updated AE over the past few days. Perhaps this incremental update fouled something up? Last weekend, things worked perfectly fine.
    I have also noticed that it takes a lot longer to load AE (since using last weekend). I have used Time Machine to roll the application back to last week's version to see if that helps.
    Any insight is appreciated.

    The update last week was just to Adobe Camera RAW and not really AE. It would be unlikely to cause the issues you describe. Have you tried turning your Mac all the way off and then back on again?

  • The item couldn't be saved because the file name "Movies" is invalid.

    When opening Quicktime Player OSX10.6.8  and clicking File-New Audio Recording or New Video Recording the audio or video recording window pops up.
    However, when I click on record in that window I the following error message pops up:
    "The item couldn’t be saved because the file name “Movies” is invalid."
    Any tips how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    The only legit source for ios 6 is from itunes.
    Open itunes, connect iphone.
    Does it prompt you to update?
    How did you update to 5.1.1 three days ago? There is no legit way to do this at all.  You can ONLY update to the latest available which was ios 6 three days ago.

  • Utility or script "each clip = new movie and let media file = name"

    I've found out that if I want to split a clip at the playhead and make it a new AS-IS original with a unique media file name designation; I have to go through:
    file>export> as full quality movie > check the "selected clips only " box > copy and paste the name and then designate destination folder> CLICK and then wait until done. (Thank you Karl)
    Unfortunately, completing this process with 180 clips per project x 15 to 20 projects per quarter... well it was more than I was prepared to do.
    Therefore... is there anyone out there who could (or has already) program(ed) some kind of script/utility/add-on that would create a new AS-IS clip from each clip that was "split at the playhead" and ALSO, make those final clips as well as every other existing clip in the project have its media file designation the same as its name.
    ie "each clip = new full quality movie and let its media file = name."
    This would save me around 10 hours per week.
    mac pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Karsten is correct. iMovie itself does not support AppleScript.
    But for applications that don't support AppleScript, Apple offers a "System Events" AppleScripting alternative. It lets an AppleScript script use System Events to do things in OTHER applications. It can act on window objects, like click on a button. Theoretically, System Events can do just about any task in iMovie.
    Except, unfortunately, select a clip.
    That's right, there is no way to select a clip with a script. So a script can't control which object to act on. YOU have to select the clip manually. That's not an insurmountable problem, but it does mean you can't tell the script to export every clip in the Timeline.
    Probably the easiest way to do what you want is with QuicKeys, the third-party software that lets you define tasks, then assign a key to perform that task. Just about any task you can imagine. One kind of task is a macro to perform a series of actions. QuicKeys lets you record macros in any application. Its record function makes macro-writing pretty easy.
    (QuicKeys is one of those utilities I wouldn't be without. I use QuicKey keys hundreds of times a day for repetitive tasks.)
    Back to AppleScript. Theoretically, QuickTime Player Pro can do what you want. QuickTime Player is VERY scriptable.
    Here's the trick: Each time we save the iMovie project, iMovie updates the "Timeline Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder (inside the project package). When iMovie saves, it sets the selected frames of that movie to match the selected clip in the TimeLine. When you open the "Timeline Movie.mov" in QuickTime Player, the selected video/audio matches the clip selected in iMovie.
    So after you select a clip in iMovie, an AppleScript could save the iMovie project (to update the Timeline Movie), open the Timeline Movie in QuickTime, Copy the selected frames, Paste them into a new movie, then save the new movie.
    Back to QuicKeys. QuicKeys can work across multiple applications just like an AppleScript. So theoretically you could run part of a macro in iMovie and another part in QuickTime Player. And, if I recall, QuicKeys can run AppleScript scripts.
    What you REALLY want is an application that knows how to read iMovie project files and automatically exports each clip to its own movie.
    Maybe I'm missing some simple work-around. That'd be sweeeeeet!
    Yup. Sometimes the best solution is to avoid the problem, not solve it.
    We can export a project to the camera, then re-import it to a new iMovie project. When we do, most clips on the Timeline return as discrete clips. Clips like titles will not be editable, of course.
    That is best done early on, before we add titles, transitions and such. Import the newly-shot video, do a rough edit to get rid of the stuff you don't want, export the Timeline to the camera, re-import to a new project. All the junk will be gone and now each clip is a discrete clip with its own source file. NOW add titles and such.

  • Batch Convert PowerPoint to Movies file name issue

    I need to batch convert powerpoint presentations to movie. But the save option forces me to use the same name on every movie. I want it to just save the presentation with the same file name. So if the powerpoint is:
    MyPresentation.ppt
    then the movie should be
    MyPresentation.mov
    How can I do this?
    Here is a screenshot of the workflow.

    Okay, so I tried ditching automator and doing the convert movie parts via applescript. This is what I tried but it gives me an automator error -212 (apparently on the first "perform action") saying "expected end of line, found property":
    Any ideas on how to get the script to work with autmator (I tested a modified version of this script outside autmator and it does work for a single file).

  • Is there any meaning to the iMovie .mov file names?

    I went into iMovie Events folder and looked at the a specific event folder.
    A sample of the imported video file names are as follows -
    clip-2007-12-01 14;51;04.mov
    clip-2007-12-01 15;32;09.mov
    clip-2007-12-01 17;00;33.mov
    clip-2007-12-01 17;19;44.mov
    How does iMac name the video files? Is there some kind of logic to the naming of the videos that I am not aware of?
    The first file (clip-2007-12-01 14;51;04.mov) is a 2s video and the second (clip-2007-12-01 15;32;09.mov)is a 13s video.

    How does iMac name the video files? Is there some kind of logic to the naming of the videos that I am not aware of?
    To add a bit to what Winston has already said... Files imported via the "Import from Camera..." option are typically files captured from a camcorder or a device which iMovie '08 considers to be a camcorder. Thus the prefix "Clip-". Theoretically, the "2007-12-01 14;51;04" represents the date time group when the files was imported or the "time stamp" from the recording device which may or may bear any resemblance to a factual time. And as was previously pointed out, the ".mov" is a standard extension signifying the file container type. Therefore "clip-2007-12-01 14;51;04.mov" is a file clip imported or created on the 1st of December in 2007 at 2:51:04 PM and placed in an MOV (generic) file container.
    With regard to the file container itself, this is determined by the method of import. Files imported at the "Finder" level are imported with their original "Finder" name and in the same file container as the original file. Camcorder files, on the other hand fall into two separate classes -- those requiring some sort of conversion and those that don't. An standard definition DV file is imported in its original DV container since it does not require any conversion. Files encapsulated in MPEG (like HDV, AVCHD, or MPEG-2), however, need to transformed to make them "edit" compatible with iMovie '08. At the very least, the audio is demuxed to "elementary" AIFF file(s) resampled to 48.0 KHz with 16-bit sampling and is now in a "temporal" compression format. In the case of HDV and AVCHD, the video is extracted/converted and can then be merged/synchronized with the audio and saved. This merging and saving of diverse content is what produces the MOV file container in the same manner as using the "Save As..." file command in QT Pro. HDD SD content however must undergo additional processing. Since the 'muxed" MPEG2/AC3 content does not share a common time reference, a "time" track is added to the container for audio time reference and to reduce/minimize drifting between audio and video tracks, the modified MPEG-2 video (now essentially having been turned into an Motion-JPEG video) is provided with an internal track start and/or end time offset and the whole saved in the generic MOV file container.

  • Rename files and move them into new folders with part of original file name

    I have tried using automator and other programs such as name Name Mangler with no luck.
    I am trying to have an AppleScript run when files are added to a folder, using a service through Automator.
    File names come in 9 different suffixes, all with the same prefix.
    Example:
    nonspecificprefixSUFFIX
    nonspecificprefixOTHERSUFFIX
    nonspecificprefixALSOSUFFIX
    I am trying to get the program to create a folder named after the prefix, then to remove the prefix from the files after moving them into this folder.
    There are 9 different suffixes that should remained unchanged.
    End goal would be to have child folders named nonspecificprefix, nonspecificprefix2 etc each with 9 files only containing the suffix portion of original name.
    If anyone has any tips to get me on the right path that would be much appreciated! I have thousands of files to rename and move so this would save me loads of time!

    Erwin,
    I was not able to systematically examine this issue, because it occurred on a production system and, of course, I uninstalled the Adobe iFilters as soon as I read that they may delete pdf files. Before the uninstallation I noticed the AR9 folders appearing on c:\ and moved them from time to time to another folder. Using the search function inside this folder, I found that all files were present in duplicate at least. I concluded, that after moving the AR9 folders they were recreated containing the same files. Consequently, these files cannot have been deleted. Searching for the origin of these files I found that they were part of pdf portfolios, therefore my conclusion that they are part of the indexing mechanism of the portfolios. What I have not done (and what I am not going to do since it is a production system) is to fill a folder with pdfs and track what is happening to the files.
    In case of my server, I think that the iFilters did not delete any files. Of course I cannot say what happens on other systems. I am definitely not going to reinstall the iFilters before knowing what they a really doing to the files.
    Not sure if this is of much help

  • Uploaded home movies revert to the original file name when added to iTunes?

    I have Home Video files that I have renamed from the original file names.  When I add these files to iTunes, the files revert to the original file name at the time the file was created.  How can I add these files to iTunes with the new file name without having to rename every Home Movie that has been added?

    OK I have done some more work and think i have the issue resolved. The problem lies with file formats specifically .mp4 and .m4v
    I suspect the files you are importing are mp4 files. When I do this i get the same behaviour of file names changing their name after playback. When i convert my files to m4v format and import the issue disappears.

  • Searching for movie data in file Name-FIN-00000001

    While starting up FCP (6.0.6) gives an error message "Searching for movie data in file Name-FIN-00000001".
    After 10 to 20 min FCP will start up.
    How do I get rid of this annoying error message when starting up?
    Thanks W.

    As Jim says, this is a render file. However, simply rendering it won't fix this. What is causing this error is a QT reference movie in the project. When you export a QT movie, and make don't make it self contained, it is a reference movie that references media files and render files. When a render file is deleted (FCP does this automatically when the render file is no longer needed) then the refrerence movie can no longer function... one file it references is gone. Simply re-rendering won't fix it, because it is referencing that SPECIFIC render file.
    You need to find and delete the QT Reference movie from your project.
