QT tries to open mp3 as a movie

Hello folks-
I've done a search and it appears that my problem is singular-
I've downloaded an mp3: (http://multiply.com/?xurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmultiply.com%2Fuser%2Fconfirm&t=118049331 4)
when I try to open it up, QT thinks that it's a movie, and I get an error message saying, "Error opening movie, movie cannot be opened".
Is this because the URL doesn't have an mp3 tag? Apparently no one else on this site (http://arbiters.multiply.com/music/item/7) has had a problem downloading any of the mp3 posted there.
The icon for it has the QT symbol with mp3 at the bottom.
If the links are inappropriate, please remove.
Many thanks.

You are right. I just figured it was SO STUPID, no one else would make the same mistake.
The trick is to Import Multiple Files, and click the "JPEG Sequence" box. I had not done this because I figured I didn't want a sequence of JPEG files, I wanted a "movie" and I was trying to import my jpegs "as footage". None of that worked out. All you have to do is click the JPEG Sequence box and everything is fine.
I was fooled because it was too easy.

  • Nokia 5800 XM - Gallery hangs when trying to open ...

    Hello All,
    I searched all over the internet to see if any other  5800 owner has similar issue but i guess not.  When I try to open any image (which is on phone memory) with  memory card inserted the gallery hangs, Even trying to open an image or movie clip stored in memory card behaves same. I can open the same files using file manager under application.
    I noticed this issue the next day after i purchased my handset and went to nokia customer care and they replaced the MM card( well it took almost month for them) now this is the replaced card. It worked for some hours i was able to view images using gallery and now all of a sudden it has stopped responding. Has this got to do with any application which is installed on memory card? 
    I am going to try to format my MM card and try putting single pic on phone and then on memory card and try. Any one please has any other suggestion?
    I have many song videos on my MMC. i have uninstalled all the applications whihc were there on my memory card like marle maze and some others which i had installed.
    Once i connect to OVI PC Suite i am unable to select remove storage device as it always shows in use so i always used to switch mode to mass storage from PC suite and then remove storage device and disconnect it. Is this correct method?
    My laptop os is vista
    thanks
    Kiran

    well, i got the solution.
    1). remove the memory card from ur cell.
    2). On the cell without memory card.(you will see no trouble wid Gallery now.)
    3). Now OFF ur cell and put the memory card in the cell.
    4). Now Format the memory card by phone memory card menu.
    5). Restart your Cell, copy the contents to memory card, whatever the size of contents are.....
    6). And finally, go to Gallery and enjoy the features of Boombastic 5800..
    Cheers....

  • Runtime error when trying to open an ODS to edit

    Hi,
    I'm encountering a Runtime error while trying to open an ODS to move some datafields to keyfields. When data is loaded into that ODS, it is not giving any Runtime error and allowing me to edit the ODS. But anyhow as there is data in that ODS, I couldn't move the datafields into keyfields. Can anyone suggest me what to do..it's urgent.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hima

    Hi,
    You cannot add add or move fields in ODS if data available in the ODS.
    You get runtime error.
    It's better to delete data from ODS.
    After that activate your all objects of that particular flow.

    I found my answer in another Thread and it worked... so for anyone who needs it, here it is:

    Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
    Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
    This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.

  • The page that you are trying to open contains a movie that is referenced to an incorrect version of

    I programmed a set of quizzes in Director 8.0 for one of my courses about ten years ago and have been updating them since. And, yes, I did purchased 11.5, but can't use it because I can't use printing w POM or a number of other extras anymore. My semester is about to start and Adobe has updated the Shockwave player in Windows over the summer (I think?) causing my quizzes to not work in a web browser. I am getting this message and can't figure out what is causing it:
    The page that you are trying to open contains a movie that is referenced to an incorrect version of the Shockwave player.
    I have been working on this for a day and a half and am stumped. I made two apps in 11.5 for WIndows .exe and Mac .app that partially work, but can't get the quizzes to work in Firefox 13 or IE 9. I searched the web and could not find anything useful.  I found a message in this forum from back in 2009 where someone had a similar problem and Sean WIlson said to add a parameter that specifed Player version =11, but that was back in 2009. I tried that PARAM and still get the error. I tried updating the quiz menu .dcr on the web to 11.5, but that didn't work. With all of the updates lately to browsers, the Shockwave plug-in, and Director 11.5, I don't know what is generating the error.  I am assuming its Shockwave player doesn't like something, but have no idea what this movie reference to an incorrect version of Shockwave player is referring to.  We're up to player 11.6 now.  Do we have to include this in the embed statement or is there something else that is causing this error?  Please help, thanks!
    Edit: Oddly, the quizzes are still working on a MacBook Pro using Firefox 13.0.1.  I don't know what the Shockwave Player version is. On the Windows 7 side of this MacBook running bootcamp, it was running Shockwave Player 11.6.4. I thought maybe I should uninstall it and install the latest 11.6.6, which I did. The latest version of Shockwave made no difference on Windows 7.  I also tried to run the quizzes on an HP laptop running Windows Vista, Firefox 14.0.1 and Shockwave Player 11.6 installed back Jan 2012 accoridng to the Control Panel.  Same error message.  Tried it using IE 8, which just seemed to do a Shockwave update - no problem the quizzes run.

    Send me a Private Message and I'll provide an email address where you could send your DCR and HTML and I'll see if I can help.

  • TS3048 Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled.

    Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? Batteries are good. I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled-flashing between the app I am in and launchpad. When right-click is enabled I have to go to the extreme upper left of mousepad to click or it is interpreted as right-click. Won't consistently "scroll". Suggestions?

  • I just bought an HD movie on iTunes.  Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop.  Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD.  What is happening?

    I just bought an HD movie on iTunes.  Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop.  Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD.  The error message said that my computer didn't have the capabilities, but I have several other HD movies that I have always and can still watch without issue.  Just this one doesn't work.  Why, and do you know how to fix this?

    Apparently the display is required to be HDCP compatible to view HD movies in iTunes. My display isn't so this is my problem. I contacted Apple support and they have agreed to credit me for the HD movie and I have now downloaded the SD version.

  • QT7 Pro crashes trying to open .m4v movie files...Help!

    I just purchased QT 7 Pro. I also use Handbrake to pull content off DVDs (I work in the film industry). I ripped several 5 min. scenes in Handbrake and they encode as .m4v files. I want to shorten and re-encode them for use on a website. I'd like to do this in QT 7 Pro, but it crashes trying to open any of these .m4v files. I tried renaming the file extension to .mov or mp4, but no luck.
    I assumed this would be simple, seeing that QT is obviously mpeg4 compatible and .m4v is the iTunes format extension for movies. Any help out there?

    Try Wondershare Video Converter. They also make Wondershare DVD Ripper and I believe you can choose what format the resulting video is be made into. They also make Wondershare DVD Copy

  • I tried to open a 2 year old movie (3.2GB) through iDVD today from an external drive and now I cannot get the color wheel to stop spinning. I tried restarting, it allows me to login and then gets to the background screen and spins again. Any ideas?

    I tried ti open a 2 year old movie (3.2 GB) through iDvD today from an external drive and got the spinning color wheel. I restarted the computer to see if it would stop and it let's me login but then the color wheel continues to spin. Any ideas?

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • Mp3 audio in .mov file

    Years ago I created a series of .mov files that are audio-only. When I view the properties of the file it says the audio is "MPEG Layer 3".
    For the life of me I cannot remember how I created this file and I need to create another one.
    So what I tried is to create an MP3 using iTunes and just changed the extension to .mov The Mac opens and plays it OK, but the PC (my target system) will not. I get a an error "file is not a movie".
    Can anyone lend a hand with this?
    Thanks!

    Open the MP3 in QT Player, Hit Save As (Self Contained).
    But doing this severely limits the number of Apps that will play the MP3. Why not leave it as MP3? I'm sure PCs will play a straight MP3 easier than a MP3 in a MOV wrapper.
    Whatever, do what you have to do

  • I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  Thanks for any ideas!

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

  • Error trying to open source media - Compressor 1.2.1

    I have a problem with a movie that have been sent to me. I seem unable to add it to a batch in Compressor or in Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD for the that matter.I'm using QuickTime 7.0.3 adn Mac OS X 10.4.3
    When ever I had it to Compressor I get this error:
    "Alert: Error trying to open source media file"
    http://www.saruken.com/temp/Compressor-Error.jpg
    And when I import it into Final Cut I get this error:
    "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
    http://www.saruken.com/temp/FCP-error.jpg
    The settings for the offending movie are:
    Format: H.264, 640x480, Millions, AAC, Stereo (L R), 22.050kHz
    FPS: 29.97
    Data Rate: 90 kbytes/sec
    Key Frame: Every 300 Frames
    The only difference between my test, which works fine, and this file is the frame rate (mine is at 25fps) and the number of audio channels (my test was in mono).
    The file I was sent was encoded in Compressor, not sure which one - but I think it might be version 2.
    The strange thing is it opens in QuickTime fine. I've tried exporting from QuickTime Pro as another h.264 with mono sound with no joy. I've tried saving a reference of the movie to see if that works, again no joy.
    The only way I can get Compressor to accept the file is by transcoding it to another codec, like Soreson 3. Then FCP and Compressor are happy.
    What I can't work out is why the h.264 file I made is fine (and any file I still make as well), and the one I was sent is not. I'm also having the same problem with an h.264 file I downloaded from Apple QuickTime Trailers, and an another I found on the web.
    Updates that have been done recently incase they might have caused the problem are 10.4.3 and installing Motion 2 Trail (since removed), which wanted to update Pro Application Support (this might be the problem?).
    Any help greatly apprieated
    Hami

    I just tried the offending movie file on my Powerbook, it has never seen Motion 2 or those Pro Application Support updates - and it gets the same error.
    Very odd indeed - any ideas?
