QT Pro - "Recording Failed"

I'm running QT Pro 7.3 under leopard on my MacBook Pro.
Each time I try to record a new audio or a new video, the recorder window comes up fine . But, when I press the red 'record' button, I get a message "Recording Failed. Recording failed to create a movie." I get the same message whether using audio or video recording. It doesn't matter if I manually select internal mic or USB in preferences.
Any advice on how to track this down? I can record in Garage Band, Amadeus Pro and Ubercaster, but QT is best and easiest for my needs.
Thanks.

I figured out the problem - when I transferred the setting from old Mac to my new Mac, the default location for saving recorded files was the desktop. Apparently there is a different file location for 'desktop' in Leopard than in Tiger. So, when I re-pointed the default directory in preferences to 'Desktop' again, that solved the problem.

  • Quicktime Pro 7.1.5 on MacBook Pro 17inch (Recording failed to create movie

    I went into Preferences and changed the camera from the built-in iSight to a USB camera (that works fine with iChat).
    When I tried to create a new movie I get the error:
    Recording failed.

    behind the error box I can see a black QT screen.
    suggestions? I could have sworn I switched cameras before in QT.

    No really this is an Intel only bug. Hopefully someone at Apple reads this.
    I have a USB Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000.
    On my G5 this will happily record movies in Quicktime, provide images in IChat and work with Photobooth.
    On a February 2006 Macbook Pro, IChat works, Photobooth defaults back to the built in iSight (is there any way of changing this??), it even works with Windows on Parallels, but Quicktime fails as described above with the 'Recording failed to create a movie' message.
    Both computers are running MacOS X 10.4.9 patched right up to date.
    USB cameras must be supported on current systems - the built in iSight is USB connected!!!

  • Quicktime Pro recording video - dimensions presets

    It appears that the QT Pro presets for recording video (all two options) depend in part on what maching you're using it on -
    On my G5, the videos recorded are 320 X 240, which is fine for my purposes... but on my Powerbook (with which I'll be doing the actual recording), the videos are 240 X 180, which is too small for my purposes.
    Has anyone discovered a way to change these settings? Or to "fool" QT Pro into thinking it's on a different machine so that it will allow for larger dimensions?
    Failing that - any suggestions for other software to record 3-4 hour meetings using an iSight and a Powerbook? (I've tried BTV, but can't get the file size to quality ratio anywhere near as good as QT Pro, and BTV seems to create huge swap files or something that make several hours of recording impossible).

    Thanks, QuickTimeKirk... I've got SnapzPro and gave it a shot, having it record the QT Pro record window (without having QT record, of course)... but one of the things I like about using QT Pro itself is that it appears to do the capture and the compression all at once -- i.e. no post-processing needed. This is ideal because the plan is to copy the movie to a USB thumb drive for the client at the end of the session; waiting for a 3 hour video to save and convert/compress won't work (hence something like iVezeen, while good, won't do).
    Anyway, I have managed to change the dimensions via the .plist file that applies to my Powerbook. The next thing I want to try to change (if possible) is the framerate - it doesn't really need to be as high as it is for our purposes, and would cut down size (and processing cpu usage?) if I could reduce it to 15 or 20fps. I can't find that setting anywhere in the .plist files though.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat XI Pro installation failed

    MacBook Pro 13" Retina
    OSX 10.8.5
    3 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Used Akamai NetSession Interface.
    Downloaded from Adobe website. After download, clicked on installer, entered serial number, quickly went through installing until right at the end: "THE INSTALLATION FAILED: Installer encountered an error that caused installation to fail. Contact manufacturer." Part of the message cut-off abruptly.
    Then, it appeared that the installation did occur but when I opened the software the interface didn't look "smooth." Then almost immediately software update stated Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.04 was available for download, but computer wouldn't allow it to be installed citing error on initial problem. I uninstalled XI Pro and tried to download again from Adobe website but the window instantly opened for Akamai and said download complete. The same problem occured when I tried to install again, with the same error message.

    Thank you Anish.
    The software now appears to be working for some reason, and even though Error 1301 appeared when trying to update to Acrobat 11.0.04, it shows that I am running 11.0.04. There is something going on in there but so far so good.

  • I can record midi data from my Mason & Hamlin Piano Disc Pro Record through my MOTU Traveller into Logic but Logic won't send midi data out to the MOTU Traveller to the Piano Disc player

    Hello All,
    I can record midi data from my Mason & Hamlin Piano Disc Pro Record through my MOTU Traveller into Logic Pro 9.1.8  but Logic won't send the midi data back out to the MOTU Traveller and thus to the Piano Disc player. I got it to playback one time but have no idea how and when it did it was looping or something because the velocity was way high coming back in and the damper pedal was slamming down. When I play a key on the piano the midi "in" light on the Traveller lights up. When I play the track back on my computer no lights blink on the Traveller and when I did the apple midi studio test in utilities when I play a key I get the confirmation signal noise and the Traveller blinks when I click on the down arrow of the Traveller in the Apple midi studio test the midi out light on the traveller never lights and the signal light on the piano does not blink either. No outbound signal at all...
    I have messed with every possible parameter I can find and and have had help from one of Piano Disc's premier editors but no luck. The piano was prepped for me on Logic so it would work with my studio.  I'm positive it's my fault and I'm overlooking something really simple and stupid but what!??!
    Somebody please help.  Thank you all in advance for ANY ideas you might have!

    Blues Piano,
    I'm not sure if this will be a help or not.  I'm so Logic Pro wet behind the ears that I make newbies look experienced.  However, I'm not expecting many on the Apple support forums have a PianoDisc system, much less one with the new optical record strip.  While I don't have any record strip on my PianoDisc, I do have a PianoDisc iQ that's only a month old.  I've been playing converted paper scrolls from hundred year old player pianos through it via the MIDI in port of the PianoDisc CPU.  I've found I have to open the MIDI file in Logic Pro (10.0.4) then go to <Track><New External MIDI Track> then copy the existing track to that new external track.  Only then can I see in the Track inspector (defaults left side of screen with the Icon for the instrument) the "Port" parameter.  Then I can select my external MIDI device in that Port selector. 
    I've also encountered problems with the PianoDisc not using enough force on the notes or using too much force.  To get around this problem, until I understand Logic better, I've been setting minimum and maximum volicities.  To do that I right click on the track and select "Select All."  Then I right click again and select "MIDI" then "MIDI Transform"  then "Velocity Limiter."  In the resulting pop up window in the center is a drop down and you can play with the velocity from "MIN" to "MAX" along with "ADD" "SUBTRACT" etc. 
    I hope this helps.  I envy you your Mason & Hamlin.  If you need more help on this just email me at pfleischmann at mac dot com.

    My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software.  I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while.  Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again.  I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month.  I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

    After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software.  However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007.  I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose.  AA8 has stopped printing to fax.  It faxes a blank page.  The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”.  My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago.  My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
    I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
    “No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
    or
    “The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.  Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.”

    Restart with the Option key held down and use Lion's recovery partition to install onto that drive. Alternatively, clone your existing system to that drive, run DiskWarrior on the clone, restart from the clone, and use DiskWarrior to repair the internal drive.

  • Data Loader - Only imports first record; remaining records fail

    I'm trying to use Data Loader to import a group of opportunities. Everytime I run the Data Loader it only imports the first record. All the other records fail with the message "An unexpected error occurred during the import of the following row: 'External Unique Id: xxxxxxx'". After running the Data Loader, I can modify the Data file and remove the first record that was imported. By running the Data Loader again, the first row (previously the second row) will import successfully.
    Any idea what could be causing this behavior?

    W need a LOT more information, starting with the OS, and the version of ID, including any applied patches.
    Next we need to know if you are doing a single record per page or multiple records, whether the placeholders are on the master page, how many pages are in the document and if they all have fields on them (some screen captures might be useful -- embed them using the camera icon on the editing toolbar on the webpage rather than attaching, if it works [there seem to be some issues at the moment, though only for some people]).
    What else is on the page? Are you really telling it to merge all the records, or just one?
    You get the idea... Full description of what youhave, what you are doing, and what you get instead of what you expect.

  • [ADF-UIX] if Create record fails, it goes to Edit record, WHY????

    I must be doing something wrong, because I cant imagine that ADF reacts the way it does within my application.
    I have 2 datapages, browseDP and editDP
    I have 1 data action, createDA, I dragged the create method from my viewobject here
    The flow is as follows:
    browseDP(create button) --> createDA --> editDP
    browseDP(edit button) --> editDP
    This works fine
    But when a user presses the create button and the creation of a new record fails, the user
    will edit the record where the DB cursor is atm. But the user thinks he's adding a new record.
    You can understand that this leads to unwanted situations!
    There is no error message given to the user if the creation of a new record fails, it also doesnt
    return to the browse screen with an error message. Is this default behavoure of ADF? should I implement
    my own error checking mechanism when creation fails???
    Is there also a default flow option if a data action fails? I know success is default.
    Does anybody have some tips for me, I want to avoid the explained situation.
    kind regards

    We've found solution to that problem, maybe someone will save few hours thanks to following trick:
    1. create UIX page with read-only table showing all the rows from details table
    2. Below the table put form that will let user edit currently selected row
    3. Insert "Create" submitButton in tableActions of the read-only table
    4. Button "Commit" and "Rollback" might be put below input form to save or cancel entered changes
    5. Now the tricky thing: instead of using submitButton that is binded to 'Delete' binding, do the following:
    a) created binding that deletes current row in detail table
    b) put button (not submitButton) and set it's destination property to "?event=mydelete"
    3) create event in UIX page that is called 'mydelete' and runs binding 'Delete'
    That's all - using that approach, when using clicks 'Add' and then 'Delete' he will not see JBO's saying that he didn't filled in required fields. It's a little bit obscure, but for me it's acceptable :-)

  • Long encoding times for footage captured with BMD H.264 Pro Recorder

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing very long render times when encoding footage captured with the BMD H.264 Pro Recorder. Watching it encode (either through Premiere CS6, or AME) it looks like the encoding stops for periods of time. With other footage I can encode a 50 minute project in about 15-20 minutes, encoding with footage from the Pro Recorder is almost 1:1 in terms of project length/encode time.
    The Pro Recorder uses QuickTime for H.264 captures, so don't know if that is causing issues. Don't seem to have the same issue with other H.264 formats.
    System Info:
    Windows 8 Enterprise (RTM)
    HP Z820 with dual hexcore processors, 32GB RAM
    Quadro 2000 plus Tesla for Maximus configuration
    All latest updates have been installed (yesterday)
    MPE is enabled for project
    Also tested on a Z800 with Windows 7 and got same results
    Editing the footage is fast and playback through timeline looks great. Anyone have a suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    QuickTime is still a 32 bit process and the 64 bit PP has to use a sort of "band-aid" to make QuickTime files work right.  It's possible that might slow things down.

  • Merging local records with device records failed

    Hi,
    I have a macbook with OS X 10.4.11 (Intel procesor)  I did install the latest Pockect mac for blackberry version (the current one in the Blackberry's page), i use to use the old one, since I did the updated I can't get that both, device and Mac SYNC any item, no contacts, no calendar... 
    The message I got last time was: 
    06:06:57:140 merging local records with device records failed. 
    Could some one with me a light on this bug?
    Thanks 

    Hi rguardia,
    Can you try synching one PIM database at a time, e.g. just Contacts by itself, so we can determine which database is experiencing the problem?  The error you are receiving is likely being caused by one specific database.
    Once you have identified the database that is causing problems, can you perform the steps listed below:
    1 - Run Data Purge on the affected database.  Data purge can be found in the following location: 
    Mac HD/users/<Home User>/Library/Application Support/PocketMacSyncManager/Additional Tools. 
    ***Please note this utility will delete all information stored in the selected database on your BlackBerry however once the information has been deleted from your device you can reimport the data to your BlackBerry from the application on your Mac.
    2 - Run Sync Clean, which can be found in the same folder as Data Purge. 
    3 - Disconnect the BB from the Mac, remove the battery from the back of the device, wait 10 seconds then reinsert it
    4 - Reboot the Mac
    5 - Reconnect your BlackBerry to your Mac
    6 - Open PocketMac and select Reset All Devices to First Sync State from the Devices menu
    7 - Configure synchronization settings for the affected PIM database, choosing the option to Overwrite Device.  If the data is successfully transferred to the device, reconfigure PocketMac back to doing a two-way sync.
    If you are still running into the same problem after performing the steps above, try synching one category of the affected database at a time. To do this, click on the tab of the database you are trying to sync, click on Advanced Preferences next to the selected application, and choose the option to sync only selected categories. Try synching with only one category selected at a time, just to see if the issue is related to data within a specific category.
    Let us know how you make out!

  • Records fail to import

    Hi All,
    When i perform import through import manger.
    I get a message that the some records failed to import because they are used in WF.
    I understand the reason of failure..However when the Import log pops up on failure of import.
    This import log does not seem to give  any particular info of which records have failed.
    No unique Id of the record.How will i be able to find out ,if i have imported 50000 records and some records fail while importing.
    How will i find out which records have failed.?
