Need help bad! opening a .mov file

I was at Church last night filming and as I was trying to hit esc to stop capturing, it would not respond and continued to record so I disconnected the Canon XL camera and hoped that it saved the footage however it created files like untitled1-4-av bt I cant open the files it says "the movie could not be opened, the file is not a movie file" these files are 4 gigs each. PLEASE HELP

Hello llockett,
Sorry to hear of your situation. I did a little google search and found this:
http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/index.htm
I have no idea of it's success rate, nor if it's applicable to your case due to the manner that the files were corrupted when you unplugged the camera (referring to Shane's post).
I'm curious about the Volume Format of your drive, and wondered if you could confirm that it is formatted as FAT32 by following the simple steps in my first post.
Whilst it won't be of any help to you at this stage, it might help others in the future who read this thread if all the details are rounded up.
All the best,
James.

  • I need help to open an .idml file after translating it with Dejavu!

    Hi everybody,
    I'm not used to work with InDesign, I only have to check a big problem: I'm a translator and have been working the last 4 weeks on a InDesing-Projekt from German into Italian. I changed the format of the files from .indd into .idml an imported the three files into my Computer-Assisted-Translation Ptrogram DejaVu. I've been working well till now. Now I tried to export the first File and wanted to open the .idml file with Indesign... The program began to work, but then came a warning "syntax error". Please, is there anybody who knows the program better than I (the agency which should know everything about this kind of files gives up at the first problem)??? This is very important to me. I speak german an italian very good, my english is rudimental....
    Thank yopu and have a good day (tel. +49-(0)9208 588316)
    Alessandra

    Sorry for the delay, I had a lot of other stuff going on today. This kind of work is somewhat laborious so I put it off.
    I needed to send you the file, because I don't understand what you mean with opening the zip file and so on...
    An IDML file is just a .ZIP archive of a bunch of XML files.
    In this case, it turns out the problem is pretty obvious. Some story files, instead of containing valid XML, contain "MATTONELLE".
    Like this, in the Terminal on Mac OS X, but substitute as appropriate for Windows:
    $ ls -ld *idml

  • Need help to open palm V files on 64 bit Win 7 i7

    I have the synced Palm V files on a backup hard drive which I am trying to access on a new laptop, which has an i7 processor with 64-bit windows 7.
    I tried to install the 4.1.4 desktop software but it errored out: Internal Error 2738.  I find pages addressing the error, but they all deal with Vista, not win7. I registered the dll anyway, but the installation still failed.
    My goal is to be able to access the palm desktop files on the new computer -- I don't have the device with me and am not worried about syncing at this point.  What can I do?  Install a different version, even though the descriptions do not list Palm V as a compatible device?
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Post relates to: Palm V

    Have you tried to Uninstall/Reinstall Palm Desktop?  Instructions for a Clean Uninstall (for Vista/XP) are also listed in the Windows HotSync stickies.  We've got to get Palm Desktop to open first!  Are you installing with Admin rights?  Once we get it to open, you can create a User account and find the directory to place the .dat file.
    You could try downloading 4.1.4e from Palm.com and installing that version, or even 4.2 from my "Manual" link below.
    I'm running Vista64 here, sorry I can't offer any first-hand Win7 knowledge...     Palm appears to have no interest in supporting PalmOS/Win7 as they are moving away from PalmOS devices to concentrate on webOS devices.

  • Need HELP! Opening a PDF file from different URL

    I have a application that links to viewpdf.class. This class file will go to the FTP where the pdf file is located and open it. How do i do this using java? Here is what I have.. .i'm stuck
    URL url = new URL("ftp://user01:[email protected]/"+ folder_name +"README.pdf;type=i");
    URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
    InputStream is = urlc.getInputStream();thanks Tony
    here is how it looks like if it is on the local host.
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    public class viewpdf extends HttpServlet
        private ResourceBundle rb;
        public viewpdf()
            rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("LocalStrings");
        public static void streamCopy(FileInputStream fileInputStream, ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream)
            throws IOException
            if(fileInputStream == null || servletOutputStream == null)
                return;
            byte abyte0[] = new byte[8192];
            int i;
            synchronized(fileInputStream)
                synchronized(servletOutputStream)
                    while((i = fileInputStream.read(abyte0)) != -1)
                        servletOutputStream.write(abyte0, 0, i);
        public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
            throws ServletException, IOException
            ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream;
            String filename;
            String output;
            FileInputStream fileInputStream;
            servletOutputStream = res.getOutputStream();
            res.setContentType("application/pdf");
            ServletContext servletcontext = getServletContext();
            filename = req.getParameter("file");
            String folder_code = req.getParameter("fold");
            try{
                filename = servletcontext.getRealPath(rb.getString("file_location")) + "/" + fold + "/" + file;
            fileInputStream = null;
            fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
            streamCopy(fileInputStream, servletOutputStream);
            catch(FileNotFoundException e)
            filename = servletcontext.getRealPath(rb.getString("file_location")) + "/filenotfound.pdf";
            fileInputStream = null;
            fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
            streamCopy(fileInputStream, servletOutputStream);
    }

    That servlet already is Java. And the servlet code isn't what "opens" the PDF, it's the browser that sends the request that does that. I'm assuming that when you say "open it" you mean to start up an instance of Adobe Acrobat and ask it to display the document.

  • Hello people, i need help to open a PX file extension, anyone?

    Have you tried "Paradox" by corel? that's what makes one type of .px extension apparently - but it seems there are several different types of .px files/extensions, used by different programs.
    Where/who did you get the files from - can you check with the user to see what they use?

    I'am able to open it with Notepad but i would like to know if there is any program that can open it, thanks.

  • I'm running snow leopard. The try to open any .mov file in Quicktime, and I get an error message that says, "The document xyz.mov could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that Quicktime player understands. I'm a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard.

    I'm running snow leopard. The try to open any .mov file in Quicktime, and I get an error message that says, "The document xyz.mov could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that Quicktime player understands. I'm a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Help!
    Thanks, Mark

    Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
    If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
    It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
    Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
    I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
    Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

  • Opening a .mov file on a Mac across a Windows network causes hang

    QuickTime player hangs when I try to open a .mov file on a networked Mac OSX machine from my Windows XP machine. This happens 80-90% of the time; that is, not every time, but most of the time.
    I've tried this from 2-3 different machines, and get the same result.
    Interesting thing is that, if I'm viewing the directory that the .mov file comes from in Windows Explorer, Windows Explorer also hangs - so it looks like something bad in going on in the Windows networking layer.
    File opens fine when I open it locally or on another Windows machine on the network.
    We're actually accessing the QT SDK from an app we're developing. We first noticed this behavior in our app, and decided to see if we could repro the problem in QT player. Sure enough, we could.
    Is there somewhere else I can log this message so that it will come to the attention of the SDK group? This a major problem for our app that I need to resolve one way or another.

  • How can I open a .mov file with iMovie?

    Hi,
    I keep trying to open a .mov file in iMovie and it isn't doing it. Is that not a recognized file extension? Should I convert the video file somehow?
    Thanks!

    .mov is just a container for a variety of video codecs, some of which are not recognized by iMovie.  You will need to convert it first with a third party app such as Media Converter (which is free, see:   http://media-converter.sourceforge.net). 
    Another free app  VideoSpec (see:  http://videospec.free.fr) is useful for identifying all the details of a video clip

  • I need help badly with my ibook and palm pilot

    Good day. I recently fixed my ibook and my palm to sync with each other. I configured my palm to sync with entourage. I then realized that it would be much better that if I sync my palm pilot with the palm desktop. Gow do I now reverse this? How do i cancel entourage to sync with my pal pilot. please advise. need help badly on this. thanks... i just like to feep my files organized and i find it difficult using entourage...my palm pilot is a palm TX...

    I also have a Palm handheld. I use iCal and Address Book more than Entourage. This is what I did:
    At first, I tried to adapt to Palm Desktop. I didn't like it, so I looked for the *iSync Conduit*. I found it and installed it. Then, I ignored the Palm desktop software (except the HotSync utility) and have used iSync with iCal and Address Book since.
    I know that doesn't answer the question about switching from Entourage, but Desktop isn't that great either. iSync is what I recommend.

    Hi watanabei,
    Please see Countries where ExportPDF is available for purchase. - Adobe Community. It's necessary to have a credit card billing address in one of the countries listed in this document. If ExportPDF is unavailable to you, you may want to consider an Acrobat subscription, which would also allow you to convert PDF files to Word and other format.
