My H.264 MPEG4 files turn into -1.MOV files after saving and viewing file

info the in the Metrics inspector File Info box of the movie page. Some people I send video to get their email at their work and are not always able to view the files even if they are less then 1MB, and so not sure if the -1.mov makes it too big (which I checked and it didn't seem to) or (quicktime is not supported on their machines) but the file type shouldn't change from .mp4 to .mov anyway.
Anybody have heard of this or have an idea of what iWeb is doing and how to best insure I can share my Mac iWeb movies at low tech PC server locations?

Okay so I've been looking into this in depth over the past few days and I haven't come up with a lot. I have noticed that it's not just the render files but also the inspection window where the clip displays in this manner. It looks like the luma range (as seen in YCbCr scope) is being limited between 7.5 and 92 IRE and I think this is maybe a good indicator of the problem. Why this is happening I don't understand. On my clips that were previously rendered in this timeline there is full range from 0 to 100 in the luma from the YCbCr scope. These files were rendered to an external drive from before I reinstalled Premiere, so it's any h.264 files that I am using after reinstall that are having this issue. I have attached another screen capture illustrating this (look at line to right of scope showing full luma range). Also I have some .mts files from another camera and they import with full luma range as well.

When playing my h.264 files in Quicktime or VLC they look about the same in terms of blown out whites and crushed blacks. Does Premiere rely on Quicktime for its h.264 codec or does it have it's own? Is there a way to force premiere to update its codecs/manually download and replace the h.264 codec?
I really can't understand what's happening here and I can't do any work when imported clips are this messed up. Can someone please help out on this!!! Super frustrating and seems to constantly happen with Premiere...

When smb sharing, files turn into folders

I use Mountain Lion on my 2012 Air. I connect to a hard drive on my wireless router using the SMB protocol. Random files turn into folders.
I don't know if this is a problem with the OS X SMB protocol or my wireless router, which is a Linksys e3500.

When I try to open a file with TextEdit, I get the spinning beachball and the file takes almost a minute to open. When I just start TextEdit everything is fine. Also when I log on with another account TextEdit works like a charm, even when opening an existing file.
What I have done so far:
checked permissions in Disk Utility
validated all fonts
deleted all canon printer drivers
deleted all preferences
Nothing has helped. Mail shows the same behavior as TextEdit. What else can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CS5 indd files occasionally change after saving and reopening

Occasionally the contents of my InDesign document will change after saving and re-opening. No errors reported during the save however when the file is opened a text box may be out of place or leading may be messed-up on a few random pages or some of the recent changes may not have been saved. Any ideas?

There was no direct indication that you created the code in a standard module. I asked because you reported that the code works in the sample workbook that you downloaded but not in your own workbook.
I don't know what else to suggest at the moment.
Could you create a stripped-down copy of the workbook (without sensitive information) and make it available through one of the websites that let you upload and share a file, such as Windows Live SkyDrive (https://skydrive.live.com),
FileDropper (http://filedropper.com) or DropBox (http://www.dropbox.com). Then post a link to the uploaded and shared file here.
Or register at www.eileenslounge.com (it's free) and post a message in the Excel forum. You can attach files up to 250 KB to a post there (zipped if necessary).

You should be able to change the permissions on the files.. this is yet another bungle by Mavericks I suspect.

Sometimes it is because you Migrated wrongly.

It is not up to Mavericks because sadly the guy who wrote all this great info died recently.

Searching and viewing files

The first few times I opened Bridge CS5 to search for and view files stored on a server it worked perfectly; specific pdf files were found from several hundred job folders and only the files in the folder that I named “client approved” were shown.
I believe I may have cleared the cache because I have not been able to find the same files that I once previously found; yet the files are present on the server and have not moved. I have since “built and exported cache” for some brand folders but now when I search for a specific file all versions of the file (client approved and not approved which are in separate folders within a specific job folder) are presented as thumb nails. I would like for only the “client approved” files to be shown as thumb nails. How can I make this happen and work as it did the first few times I worked with Bridge?

but now when I search for a specific file all versions of the file (client approved and not approved which are in separate folders within a specific job folder) are presented as thumb nails.
If you want to search for a specific word you should use the Find command under the Edit menu and select the proper main folder and choose client approved and equals. Be sure to have also include non indexed files and including subfolders selected. Bridge needs time to index all the files so the first time you use 'include non indexed files' it may take a while.
You could choose to create keywords or labels for approved files, it makes it easier to find and select.
Also be aware that Bridge is not designed to work over a network and/or using a server so this might also causing some problems.

Best way to view and edit OpenOffice files on my new iPad Mini (originally Word and Excel files). Thanks!

Can someone tell me the best way to view and edit OpenOffice files on my new iPad Mini (originally Word and Excel files)? Thanks!

wmf files is a MS Windows video file, you will need a tool to covert the wmf files to another file format OS X will read. Simply Google to find a converter you are interested in and use it.

Raw Files turn into 175kb preview files.

I have download my RAW files from my Canon 1DS into Photoshop CS2 using a Lexar card reader.
They download as a full RAW file but when I go to open them in bridge the turn into a 175 kb preview file! The strange thing is I download 5 gbs from 5 different cards but not all of them did it. I found that if I download the images several times they would eventually download as full RAW files. I am using a G5 MAC with loads of memory and processing capacity. Is it the problem that the cards are corrupting, the card reader is faulty, CS2 is somehow corrupt (it is a fully registered copy) or that bridge has some weird glich in it. This problem has only just started as I have been this software for some months now.
Cheers Brent.

Leopard? You aren't doing a command/copy (move) are you? There have been reports that "moves" in Leopard is broken...
Otherwise, try another card reader or cable. This isn't something Bridge would be doing to your files...

How is it possible, that a pdf file turns into a psd file while sending with mail

I have send a pdf file as attachment with mail. the file shows correctly as pdf file. but when the file arrived at the addressed location it turned into a psd file. in addition it seems there is a problem sending png and ai files. once those files have arrived through mail I am getting the feedback, that the files are are not scalable, they are fuzzy or completely messed up.
has anyone an idea, where the problem comes from?
thanks for response

ID CS3 : the 101 buttons bug - PDF file turning into a form

Hi there,
I'm just mentionning this issue with a clear title (I had mentioned it in another thread but with a wrong topic name, since I hadn't found out the bug).
When working in inDesign CS3, there's a slight but annoying issue with interactive PDF buttons. As soon as your file reaches 101 buttons, the PDF document exported is considered as a form instead of a standard document (no matter if the buttons are present on the master pages, on the same pages or through the document).
I've managed to find a workaround myself, and I found another one on these forums, but no real solution. Here they are:
Workaround #1 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/2177707#2177707) :
Instead of creating my controls in the master page (which caused the file to have more than 100 buttons), I created them (only once) in the first page they appeared in. Then, in Acrobat Pro, I just selected them and used the "duplicate" command.
There are two benefits when using this solution:
your PDF document won't turn into a form (which can be a real problem if you don't want to confuse the document users).
your PDF file will be lighter. Indeed, when creating a button in inDesign (even if you create it on the master page) the exported PDF document won't contain X occurences of the same button, but X different buttons (which can incread the size of your document dramaticaly when it reaches a large amount of pages).
Yet, if your document reaches 101 buttons on the solemn content, the bug will trigger anyway.
Workaround #2 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/1322652#1322652) :
After having exported your PDF file, lock it against editing (through the password protection system). Your document will still be considered as a form, but the annoying purple box won't pop any longer when you open the file.
This solution is quite simpler, but it still is a workaround to the issue, not a solution.
Well, I hope those workarounds will help someone, but if someone had a *real* solution to it, that would be great.

Thanx! For me — prototyping — to block editing with password is enough (for now).

Ai file turned into DXF doesnt transfer correctly when opened in CAM software.

Hi please can anyone help. I am trying to create a DXF which can be used with CAM software. The file looks fine in Ai and even CAD software but loses all definition, turning into a black blob, when opened in CAM software. There are shapes within the outline which need cutting out and the DXF file shows intersections where these are. Are these intersections part of the problem? Thank you very much!

Think I might have just fingered it out on my own!

Files turn into alias. Original file vanished

We are experiencing a scary problem on some of our machines. We are using intel macs with 10.6.7.
They were using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) at the time of the problem. Both machines have been updated to 7.0.4 and have not had the problem since.
However this has been a periodic error the whole time, so its not easy to replicate it...
This problem is as follows.
During working in InDesign it quits unexpectedly and we need to open it again.
When we locate the file (on a windows server connected with smb) it has turned into a shortcut or alias witch points to nothing.
The original file is nowhere to be found. Also, the file has been labeled with the red label from OSX...
We managed to get the log from one of these incidents:

At this point even someone else with the problem but no solution would be a comfort..
