QT file from 5D mark11 not recognized by anything

Hi folks.  I've read the other forum entries with similar problems and I've surmised that there is meta data or some kind of directory structure corrupted or missing. The problem is I can't go back to source to rebuild because my friend pulled the files off the card and formatted the card. Oddly though, when he shared the files over his DB account with me (and I downloaded from there), I can actually play the files in the browser window from the DB account.  Its just that I can't open them in anything (and I've tried everything, VLC, Handbrake, MPEG streamclip, other weird proprietary programs, FCP import, QT) once they are downloaded.  Since I know the video works because it plays in the browser, does anyone have any ideas on how the heck I can get them to open in anything else?  I could provide the link to the DB offline if someone knows of a workaround.

That 5D doesn't shoot a format that's exotic at all – h.264 in a Quick Time wrapper. It would be great to have the full card structure for ease of importing into certain NLEs (e;g., FCP Log & Transfer) and for that you usually need a plugpin as well. But just to open a single mov file? Should be no problem for any of the apps you mention.
I'm going to guess that somewhere along the line someone used a video converter app to alter the file in some way. Why your Browser can play it and your video players can't, I'm afraid I don't have any theories about.
Drag the file into MediaInfo and see what it reports the file to be. Post a screen shot.

  • Avchd movies from lumix FZ100 not recognized by imovie

    avchd movies from lumix FZ100 not recognized by imovie

    iMovie does not edit MPEG2 natively. However, iMovie will import directly from a supported camera. During the import, the footage will be converted from MPEG2 to Apple Intermediate Codec.
    If you hook up your camera, it should import just fine.
    For existing footage that you have stored on your hard drive, there are a couple of options.
    1) The MPEG Streamclip option. With MPEG Streamclip (free) (and the MPEG2 Playback component which you already have) you can convert the MPEG2 to a iMovie compatible format like DV or AIC or h.264.
    2) You might be able to "fake out" iMovie into thinking that your hard drive footage is really on a camera. To do this, you will need to create a disk image of your camera, and move the footage back to the disk image. Alternatively, you could drag the footage back to your camera and import from there. Perhaps someone who has your camera can give detailed instructions for this. The disk image must have the identical file structure that your camera does. (This is how imovie knows it is a camera.)
    Disk images can be created by Disk Utility, which comes with your Mac. It is found in the Applications/Utilities folder, and is also handy if you ever need to format a drive.

  • Migration Assistant Error Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred?

    Hello, world.
    A few days ago I replaced my the 97% full 100GB hard drive in my Dad's Core Duo 2.0GHz Macbook Pro with a 500GB but I received an ominous error at the end of the Migration Assistant transfer.  Here are the steps I took:
    1.  Replaced physical drive.
    2.  Booted up from OS X Snow Leopard disc.
    3.  Formatted new drive as OS X Journaled using Disk Utility.
    4.  Installed OS X Snow Leopard on the new drive.
    5.  When prompted by OS X Installation, I selected transfer data from another volume.
    6.  Placed the old drive in an enclosure and connected via USB.
    7.  At this point I let Migration Assistant take over.
    It took an hour and a half or more to transfer the data and everything SEEMS fine.  However, at the end I received the following error message from Migration Assistant:
    Errors and Warnings:
    - 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred
    - 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal_info_block" could not be transferred
    I have searched around but I've been unable to find any information on this.  In other instances of these warnings, people seemed to be pointing the finger at moving from PowerPC macs to Intel Macs but this was Intel-->Intel.
    I did find someone suggest one other thing in another thread:
    "My reading of those error messages indicates that there's something wrong with the journaling files on the PB. I suggest that you disable and reenable it on the PB"
    However, I do not know how to enable or disable journaling without reformatting the drive from scratch as journaled or non-journaled.
    (post found here:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/8675337#8675337)
    Question:  Should I be worried and does anyone know specifically what this error indicates?  Is it possible that my dad's old hard drive was NOT formatted for journaling and MA was looking for these journal related files and unable to find them?
    Thank you all in advance for your help,
    Nick

    What options did you select for Migration Assistant to transfer? For instance, did you select network & computer settings?
    "Opt" sounds like the name of a folder, not a file type. On your 13" MacBook, do you have any folder by that name, especially in your home folder?
    Also, have you run Disk Utility's *verify disk* check on the MacBook's drive?

  • Ipod not recognized by anything on my computer!!!!

    My ipod is not recognized by anything on my computer. When i plug it in it says "do not disconnect", but it won't show up in itunes or ipod updater. I have taken it to the Genius Bar at an apple store here in town.....but they said that it was pretty much ruined since i do't have a warranty any longer. I am really upset that it so far cannot be fixed. I would like to fix it instead of buying a new one, because i love this one so much! Please Help.....Please Help!!!
    Preston.

    Go to the Apple Shop again, and ask them a favour for doing a Restore for your iPod but with a Mac computer. It is very likely to get mount with a Mac, once it has being completed, bring it back and plug it with your PC, and do a Restore back in PC version

  • NEF from Nikon 3100 not recognized?

    I cannot import NEF images created by my Nikon 3100. The file format is not recognized by Lightroom. I have installed the latest PS update for Camera Raw. PS does not recognize the file either. Is an update for both Lightroom and PS coming for the new Nikon cameras?

    Yes. It should appear about 2 months from now if Adobe keeps to its usual 3 month schedule.

  • Idisk app: delete file from iphone but NOT idisk?

    maybe i'm missing something but how do you delete a downloaded file from just your iphone? when i tap the delete button in the downloaded file window it deletes it from my idisk.

    Jeff Stone1 wrote:
    well that is sort of what i thought. when the app was originally previewed it was stated that you can VIEW your documents stored on your idisk. but the mobileme page on the apple site says that you can DOWNLOAD files to your iphone.
    i just looked and i only see where you can view and share files but i don't see anything about downloading files.
    on a side note why is the icon blue didn't it change from blue to a pink with the change from .mac to mobile me.

  • Delete file from folder only (not from list)

    Hi all,
    I've searched a lot and didn't succeed so far, that's why I need your help. In a cloud context, I'm actually creating and uploading files (pdf and/or xml files) "on the go" to sharepoint folders via the SOAP API and this is perfectly working. But
    in a cloud context, I also need to decomission services which is translated into deleting files into Sharepoint.
    That's where it became complicated, because according to the API we cannot delete files if they are not part of a list structure, which is not my case. Is that true ?
    The only info I have when trying to delete a file via the SOAP Api is : its name, its folder, and the endpoint where the folder is. So my question remains simple I guess : is this possible ? If so, how to (a link to the SOAP body would be usefull)
    Thanks a lot
    Regards
    Baptiste

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to delete file from folder.
    In SharePoint 2010, It is recommended to use Client Object Model to achieve it, the following code snippet for your reference:
    string siteURL = "http://siteurl";
    ClientContext context = new ClientContext(siteURL);
    //specific user
    NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
    context.Credentials = credentials;
    Web web = context.Web;
    context.Load(web);
    context.ExecuteQuery();
    string relativeUrl =web.ServerRelativeUrl +"/DocumentLibraryName/FolderName/FileName";
    File file = web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(relativeUrl);
    context.Load(file);
    file.DeleteObject();
    context.ExecuteQuery();
    If you still want to use SOAP API, we can use the UpdateListItems method under Lists web service to achieve it.

  • Script to make 'delete' file from system and not just library svp.

    I would like something, possibly a script, to replace the delete option in iTunes so that a file deleted from within iTunes is actually deleted from the HDD. I have downloaded a script that can do this but the option ad to be called from the script menu and was not convenient, so I am looking for a way to amend or replace the menu option to achieve this in a natural fashion.

    Okay, here I found this page: http://ask.metafilter.com/18737/How-can-I-make-iTunes-delete-songs-again
    which is nice and informative. What I have found is that in order to delete files natively from within iTunes the default settings of keeping your music files in the iTunes music folder (which can be modified to another directory in iTune's preferences) must be left untouched. This is because iTunes will only delete files from the HDD if they reside in the music folder iTunes refences to. Its a nice structured system that iTunes itself keeps organised so its the better option, as oposed to having files everywhere.
    In order to reset the iTunes dialog messages, the file "com.apple.iTunes.plist" in the "~/Library/Preferences/" dir must be deleted - which resets everything, as the documentation suggests you will know because the copyright agreement will launch when iTunes is started. Please make sure iTunes is off before deleting the file. The documentation also suggests deleting another file but I didn't do this and it worked for me.
    However the ability to delete movies from the HDD is not an option from within iTunes, I suggest finding a script that will move all movies in a certain playlist to the recycle bin folder

  • Batch file gives error "is not recognized as internal command.." after first character

    For every batch file I create, I receive the same error displaying after only running the first character in the file: ' d' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file.
    This occurs whether I run 'dir' cd '../..' or java.exe
    I've confirmed the path environment variable has the correct paths, cmd.exe is assigned to comspec, I'm running as admin, etc. What have I not setup correctly to run batch files. I can run these same commands directly at the command line.

  • Files from LR are not returned when saved, why?

    Hi, export files from Lightroom 5.3 CC to Photoshop CC, edit them and hit control /s but they don't return to Lightroom. They are saved in the catalogue.  Adobe agent suggested my error was to convert all my Raws to DNG, but this is common and it is Adobe's own format. Also said use synchronise folder command, but this also returns deleted pics and is not the way things are supposed to work.
    I have re-installed both programmes.
    Fault only found with raw files, JPEG is fine. Also round tripping to Elements with raw files is OK. Agent gave up after more than an hour tinkering with my computer and promised to "escalate my report" saying I would be called back. Week later still waiting.
    Fault might have been caused by last update as was working before.
    Don't think I will be renewing CC contract. Anyone else out there?

    Hi, step one: yes using edit in command to send file to Photoshop. Step two: edit it in Photoshop. Step three: used save command in menus or press Ctrl. S, (this is supposed to send the file back to Lightroom where the main action is, and does so with JPEG but not DNG files). What happens is they disappear from the work flow. They are saved to the catalogue on the external hard drive where they have to be re-imported to Lightroom (Adobe agent confirmed this not supposed to happen and I am doing the right thing. He suggests using syncronize folder command, but this is not just an extra step, it also brings back all the other files that have been deleted from Lightroom.)
    Something that used to work smoothly and as designed, is not, and the agent seemed to have given up after one and a half hours in control of my computer.
    Someone else has the same problem, hence the post. Thanks for your attention.

  • Having Downloaded the camera raw plug in, files from Nikon D800 not recognised. How do I fix this please?

    I have just had a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro and had to reinstall Photoshop CS4. Despite downloading the most recent Camera Raw plug-in Photoshop does not recognise my raw files from my Nikon D 800

    That is correct. The Nikon D800 RAW NEF requires ACR 6.7  or newer and you need at least CS5  to use ACR 6.7.  You need to download the 8.6 DNG convert and create DNG files for NEF files to use CS4. Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
