Quicktime can't read a .dv file?

I can open the .dv file in VLC, but Quicktime gives me the error: "The document “HH Memorial.dv” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."  I thought .dv was a Quicktime format?  Please help!  Thanks.

Thanks!
Actually this is a video edited in iMovie and (I guess) exported into dv format.
[Update] MPEG Streamclip is giving me an "unsupported file type" error. 
When I try to go to iMovie to re-export, I get the error message: "Please make sure that your project disk has write permission, and that you have enough disk space. (Error -2009)"
I clearly have write permission and enough disk space on my internal hard drive.  Not sure what the problem could be.

  • QuickTime can't read VCL media files

    I have recently started to copy my DVDs to a hard disk. Because I want to watch the movies while travelling, I now want to copy them to my ipod classic that I bought for the purpose. From reading manuals I understand I first have to transfer the files into an iTunes library, but iTunes doesn't recognise the format, which is VCL media. I now have the impression I somehow need to convert the files to QuickTime format, but I have no idea how to do this. All my other media players can open de files (Windows Media pleyer, VCL media pleyer, Real player), but I don't see a way to save them in a different format.
    I am not very computer litterate - please help!

    I believe you mean VLC, not VCL?
    You'll need an app to convert the files to .mp4,
    which your iPod Touch and all iPods for that matter, like.
    .mp4 will also easily drag and drop into iTunes, if you
    wish to keep the movies organized.
    On the Mac we would use the combination of MpegStreamclip
    (to convert the movies to DV Stream) and then VisualHub
    to convert the files to .mp4.
    Mpegstreamclip is available for the PC, so I'd start with that,
    then maybe use ffmpeg or Handbrake to get to .mp4.

  • I have the latest downloadable version of LR5.  It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

    I have the latest downloadable version of LR5.  It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches.  I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
    I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow.  Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

    Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

  • How can one  read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

    How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
    1. Excel File is on My PC.
    2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
    3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
    4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

    If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
    1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
    create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
    Note: This directory is on the server.
    2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
    You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
    3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
    Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
    function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
    p_filepath in varchar2
    ) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
    input_file utl_file.file_type;
    --declare a buffer to read text data
    input_buffer varchar2(4000);
    begin
    --using the UTL_FILE in built package
    input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
    utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
    --debug
    --dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
    utl_file.fclose(input_file);
    --return data
    return input_buffer;
    end;
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

    How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
    Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh  f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
    Thank you!

    Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
    Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

  • Can we read a ZIP file through ESB file adapter?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to read a ZIP file from a specified locaiton either through a FTP adapter or file adapter as a opaque element and place it in another specified locaiton?
    So far the available options are to read a txt, csv, fixed length or cobol file.
    I tried to create a ESB reading ZIP file and place it in another locaiton. but it was not reading the ZIP file.
    Is it first possible for the ESB to read the ZIP file? if so then is there any specific configuratuion that we have to do for it to work?

    how can we read a MSWORD file through java?You can read it like any other file using FileInputStream
    and similar.
    Howvere, if you want do do something with it, like display
    it, you have a problem. AFAIK Microsoft do not release
    information about their document formats, and i have not
    seen a .doc viewer for java.

  • With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have camera raw 2.4

    With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have"camera raw 2.4" selected in LR and the Plug-in for CS is Camera Raw.8BI.
    Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried a different DNG converter? Adobe released Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 in March of this year. Maybe, if it supports your camera, this version will create a more compatible file.

  • Why can't read access log file in real-time? (Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3)

    We can't read access log file in real-time. If access log is rotation to new file so can read access log file but can't read real-time.
    *** Oracle Weblogic Server versions 10 R3

    what's your meaning? try this command "tail -f access.log".
    Threre is a buffer about 8K for WebLogic to write the access info into the log files, so you can't see the access info untill the buffer is full.

  • After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files.  I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email.  Any help would be appreciated.

    After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files.  I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email.  Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Can't Read from Source File

    Hi Guys
    I'm using PPr CS5 on Win7 64bit.
    I'm not sure if this is strictly for here but can I pick your brains please? I edited in PPr and exported three versions of the same video to AVI (mainly different intros and titles) and they all play fine. I back up my movies to an external disk but one of them always creates an error in the back-up "Can't Read from Source File". The file sizes are 5.3gb for the offending movie and 8.3 for the other two.
    I know the answer is to re-export the movie but I'm just trying to get a bit of a handle what could have caused this problem in the first place and if this is a common problem?
    Any views?
    Regards,
    Graham

    That doesn't help much.  What exactly are you doing when you get the error message?
    Are you trying to open a PP project which contains the file?
    Are you trying to play a sequence which has clips from that file?
    Are you trying to play it in a media player?
    Are you trying to import the file into PP?
