(OSStatus error -50.) video files not playing please help

I own a Nikon D300s, I have been downloading video from it for quite a while without any issues, but today when I tried to open some of my video clips I received the error code below...
*The movie could not be opened*.
Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -50.)
I am curious if anybody else has had this problem and how can I solve it?
I posted it here because all my clips are Quicktime AVI logos. All the video that works show the start of the clip.
HELP!!
thanks

I just got a new MBP yesterday and have perian, but i cannot open an .mkv file that could on my old computer. I have the most recent version of perian, this should be working. If anyone has any idea what OSStaus Error -50 means, please tell me and help me fix it because a new computer is supposed to work BETTER than the one that was four years old and couldn't run iTunes at the same time as Pages.

  • Video file not playing in Photos

    Imported photos/videos from a SD card. Performed this task many times before. This time, some video files display as "AVI", as opposed to displaying the first frame. The video will not play. The file is skipped when I use sweeping motion to go to next/previous picture/video.
    Also, I don't know how to delete the file, because I cannot select it.
    Most video files from the SD card work as they should.

    Any ideas? Is there a difference between the Quick Time 7 Pro encoding of an iPod/iPhone video file and the way a similar file is encoded through QUick Time X?
    Unfortunately, the latest iTunes update 9.2.1 has not solved the problem. I cannot get to the bottom of this. Quite frustrating. Any suggestions?

    Another person who doesn't understand how to set CLASSPATH.
    Move those JARs into the same directory as your SendMailBean.java and do it like this:
    javac -classpath .;mail.jar;activation.jar -d . *.java
    java -classpath .;mail.jar;activation.jar SendMailBeanRead how to set CLASSPATH properly:

    00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07)
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    checked & realised I did not have all the intel parts for my graphics & installed the following:

    Same problem & still getting both vlc & mplayer errors as above.
    None of this was happening yesterday so I decided to pick through the upgrades & downgrade the ones affecting just vlc/video:
    [2014-08-15 00:05] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libx264-1:142.20140311-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'

    [2014-08-15 00:10] [PACMAN] downgraded mplayer (37224-2 -> 37224-1)
    the only other thing I think might be causing this is the kernel upgrade but I don't really want to downgrade that because potentially that would mean doing it for all the upgrades!
    can any of you archers see what might have caused this as the video file & others have been working fine & I can't see any other bugs or reports of this happening elsewhere.
    thanks in advance for you help

    I wonder if I could write a script that would check dmesg or a log file for the presence of  "*ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged" & if found to load a config to enable uxa lol

  • Video Files not Playing in MAIL

    I can't view video files in MAIL after LION upgrade.  Previous O/S worked great.  Downloaded updated Flip for Mac, Flash, etc.  When I receive a video file such as a WMF, I can see it down load and then the viewing screen goes completely black.  If I save attachment and open with VLC player, it opens and plays.  If opened in Quicktime, it plays audio only.
    Ideas?
    Thanks!

    Two thoughts:
    What if you view using QuickLook (using the space bar) ?
    What happens if you switch graphic cards, any difference ?

  • Clips imported into iMovie will not play: Please Help!

    I have been working on a project in iMovie for awhile now and I have a few different clips imported into it. I have not had a problem with it before yesterday. I went to import another clip and for some reason I got error message "-43" that said it could not copy the files into iMovie. Then today when I opened iMovie to try again, all the clips that had been imported already were grayed out and a little yellow warning sign was in the bottom left hand corner of each clip display (yellow triangle with ! in the middle). They would not play.
    It is not the clips though- they work fine when I open them in quicktime and iPhoto.
    I don't know if this is ay significance, but this morning before the clips stopped working iMovie made new thumbnails- could this be any reason why it isn't working?
    Can anyone help with this problem? I don't know what happened!

    I have a iPhone 4s that I am trying to syn. when I look at IPhone content it shows music, but there is this symbol  A dotted circle and these will not play. Please help as I am frustrated.

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.
    Regards.

  • Original files not found, please help.

    I am running iTunes 8.0.1.11, and I have about 11.5 gigs or so of music. Today I fired up iTunes and started skimming through songs like I often do, only to start playing a song and have the "original file not found" message pop up. I took a deeper look, and the majority of my 3200 songs show this message. There is no common factor between these songs, some are from the iTunes Store, some are from CD's, and some are from various mp3 services. In some cases, a few of the songs from a CD are missing, while others are present. Under "iTunes Music" in "My Music", the music folders (ie "Linkin Park") are present, but it appears that all the music has been deleted from in them.
    I am a little miffed at this, because I had quite a few rare albums and EPs in my collection, and none of them were backed up.
    Is there any way to get them back? Perhaps the file paths were changed? I hope that the music is still on the HD somewhere, and that I don't have to hunt down all these albums again. Any help would be great.

    Sadly, I've been looking around for around an hour for an answer to this problem, yet to just waste time.
    I have the same problem and can't find an obvious way to fix it. Nothing works without asking me to locate the file in my music folders. On my iPhone I have roughly 35-40 artists listed, on iTunes I have 9 that are listed in the music folder, only about 15 of my 349 songs work. Sadly, I can't update my iPhone until this is fixed, thank goodness for the wall charger! I've noticed that it made the songs that were "Un-checked" go missing and the "Checked" songs are perfectly fine!
    This problem has been around for ages, this happened to me like a year ago on a different version of iTunes. Yet, I haven't seen APPLE mention anything about it, at least acknowledge it! If I find an answer I won't waste anytime and will post it immediately, but as for now APPLE <insert phrase>(I'm going to use the phrase 'is lazy')!

    Also I would like to add that it seems like my songs have disappeared from my HDD, amazingly! That or they have been moved somewhere else. I originally had the songs on my old dell, copied the songs to my new HDD for my new PC. Then that HDD went bad, so I moved it to my other HDD, so I have back-ups.

  • Can't drag video files into library - Please help!

    Just got my iPod 30G video, and while I can drag mp3 files into the Library without any problems, when I try to do the same for video files (.avi and .wmv files), nothing happens. I don't get any error messages, but the files just don't appear in the Library. What am I doing wrong?

    You must convert the videos to MP4. To do this, you must download a video converter. I got mine from Videora. Just google that name and download their full program. You will then need to convert the videos with the program and drag them to iTunes.

  • Trouble with seperate audio/video files in DVDSP -- please help!

    When I import my quicktime files into DVDSP, they are automatically segmented into seperate files, and are both the same file size. So essentially my file is doubled, and this causes the total file size to be too large and will not burn. Has anyone else had this issue, and what can I do to remedy it?
    for example: If I import a file that is 1.5gb into DVDSP, then in my asset window I have a video asset with a file size of 1.5gb and an audio track with a file size of 1.5gb. It is double the size of the orginal. There has to be a setting or something that I'm unaware of that will fix this.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I know I need seperate video/audio files. My question is why the audio and video files are the same exact size. They are clearly not the same size in the original file. Im okay with DVDSP doing the compressing, Im not concerned with that. I need to be able to fit large amounts of video onto a DVD, but when I import files (ive tried many different file formats) they are enlarged.
    Should I not be able to import a file that is 800mb and have it stay 800mb, or should I be using a different authoring software that will allow me to do that?
    Thanks for the help!

  • Video files not playing in iTunes

    In iTunes on OS Lion on an iMac, I started getting an error message that the "video needs QuickTIme and it is no longer supported by iTunes." What gives? The files are m4v and won't play even 5 minutes after I download them.
    If I download them to my MacBook then access them through the shared media, they will play and become part of the library on the iMac. Seems like a lot of bother just to watch a video.
    Anyone have a clue about what's going on?

    Sorry about not being more precise; I usually grab an image to save, but didn't this time.....yes, that's it.
    Checked the link. Did as I was instructed, and it seems to work ok now; HOWEVER, when I first got the iMac about four weeks ago, everything worked perfectly after ai set it up and migrated everything from my Mini. I had a system crash on 2 desktops, and had to restore both of them. The Mac mini is just as good as it was before, and the iMac is still a bit schizophrenic. The iTunes thing was one of the delusions.
    I read about 32- and 64-bit, but still don't know about the resulting effect and whether it means under-utilizing the iMac.
    Will keep searching. Thanks for the tip.

  • Flash 8 encoder, No errors, but video does not play.

    Hi I really hope I can get some advice on this situation I
    have already wasted hours of time by encoding this project twice.
    This is a 2 hour long wmv file. I am encoding it and can see the
    video the entire time it encodes. Afterwards though if I load it
    into VLC player or into flash and export, It doesnt play. I have
    done another 2 hour file right before this one and it worked
    perfectly. I tried re encoding the file and had the same outcome.
    Can anyone offer any advice?

    Not only is this problem (blank video on ALL encoded FLVs and
    many downloaded FLVs) still unresolved, but the online tech support
    makes it impossible to submit a support claim.
    The CS3 Premium support link takes you to a page that only
    has CS1 and CS2 listed.
    Since those versions of CS didn't include Flash, you can't
    pick Flash as the sub-product. So there's no correct way to submit
    a query to tech support.
    I keep trying, hoping someone will direct me to a useful
    resource, but for the last 7 weeks I've gotten nowhere. I was
    really hoping someone on this forum would have some suggestions,
    but all the replies have been from other people with the same or
    similar problem.
    Unfortunately, this problem makes Flash Professional
    completely useless for me, so I'm getting really desperate.

  • Video files not playing in Mail Account

    Howdy
    A couple of days ago, video attachements that have been sent to my email account will not open. When they arrive, they look like they always have, i.e., they have the bar at the bottom with the tracking arrow, speaker for volumn, ect.
    Then all of that disappers, leaving a black screen. When I click on that, I get a message box with several options, one being Play Attachment.
    When I click on that, get another video screen with all of the usual stuff. When I click on the Play arrow, I can get sound but no video.
    Any thoughts will be appreciated.
    It is the email account in my iMac. Just updated to Lion.
    Thanks

    Since upgrading to Tiger, I have tried just about everything suggested on this board to get ichat av to fully function. For months I have been trying off and on to use the AV functions of ichat. I have spent days reinstalling, clean installing, trashing plists etc... I have had success in engaging in a boring audio chats with all of the bots (appleu3testXX) but never have had luck with getting video to work. (But for some reason today i can not even audio chat with the bots, am getting insufficient bandwidth error) I can get the video preview and that is it. I get the error "Can not get video from the camera" when i attemt to connect to one of the bots. I just want to video chat with my sister halfway across the world. The error i get with her is "User failed to respond", or I failed to respond. I consider myself somewhat computer saavy, and am almost to the point of writing my own standalone application inorder to video chat with her. We do have a router (either a Cisco 828 G.SHDSL or a Cisco 805 Serial Router) at the studio to service the 50+ connections here. Our IT person has made the necessary adjustments on his end with the router. I am located in Amsterdam with about a 900 Kbps connection.
    Below is an error log when trying to video chat with a bot. My firewall is off.

  • 30 GIG Video iPod, Video Options not available - Please help!

    Hi.
    I have a 30 GIG iPod Video 5th gen, with the latest iPod updater software installer on it.
    But when I look at the iPod preferences, when it's plugged in via USB, all Video options (manual vs automatic etc) are all greyed out and not available for selection.
    And I can't drag any videos onto the iPod (even with the right video format!).
    It's like the iPod itself doesn't recognised that it is an Video one, like it has a complex and can only deal with music and photos.
    Can anyone help or offer advice?
    Anyone had a similar problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your help guys.
    Even with the iPod set to manual, I couldn't drag iPod format videos directly onto it.
    Did a factory restart, and it has fixed the problem.
    And just a note; the options in the video tab will always be greyed out, when the iPod is set to manually update songs.
    cheers!
