Quicktime Error 2002

When I try to compress a file from FCP5 to WMV it fails and I get a Quicktime Error message 2002. Does anyone know what that means and what I am doing wrong? Thanks. Ric

This is happening to me as well. I just upgraded my QT version to the latest one, 7.4.5 and now I can't encode anything using Flip4Mac's WMV encoder through Compressor. I get the exact same QuickTime -2002 error. It's like the codec isn't even installed or something, because the error is instant. It's not like it gets going and then quits out in the middle.
I've tried a full clean re-install of Compressor, QuickTime and Flip4Mac and I still get this error. Does anyone out there have any ideas?

  • IMovie Export to QuickTime Error 2002

    Hi, I am trying to export a project through the QuickTime option in >Share but every time after hte completion of the export, I get this error message 2002 (I think it was 2002 - I stupidly dismissed the window before seeing the number).
    Anyone has any idea what's wrong? I export seamlessly to iTunes though.

    I've seen the same error reported earlier tonight on this forum. Error -50 is a user parameter error and is likely associated with trying to write illegal characters to a non HFS formatted disk, would this make any sense to you in your present workflow.
    Actually I see your error is a 50 (not a -50) or is that a typo. That's a networking error, which doesn't make any sense to me at all unless you are trying to write to a network device which has been removed and I was of the opinion im08 doesn't work over a network, indeed doesn't even give the option to try.

  • How to solve error 2002: bad public movie atom found?

    I have a Windows XP. I am running Quicktime 7.7.1. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I have no idea what the problem could be. When I uninstalled Quicktime the videos played fine in Windows Media Player Classic, but without sound. I don't know if thats relevant at all. I have to have QuickTime back!! Please help...if you need any more info, please ask...
    Thank you!

    I have the same problem
    mp4s created with nero recode worked well with itunes.
    Rebuilt my machine with Windows Vista installed latest iTunes and quick time and now 25% of the movies return a public atom error.
    Interestingly the same movies on my network drive play OK, but if you copy them to My Videos you get error 2002 public atom (but only for the ones that I originally found did not play).
    I have created new mp4s with Recode and they donot play except when moved to the network drive.
    I have reinstalled quicktime and Vista with no effect.I think this is a Vista/Itunes/Quicktime compatibilty issue.
    Can any one else help?

  • Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie

    I have a Nikon Coolpix L10 (about 2 years old) that records video in the .mov format.
    Most of the time when I play the videos on my computer I used to get a bad flicker and the video would often freeze. When I used a video editing program I found that for every two frames of video there was a black frame.
    So I thought maybe Quicktime wasn't 100% compatible with the file type or version. So after some deliberation I got Quicktime Pro and I have the newest version 7.6.5. The flicker is gone but the video still freezes.
    So I tried exporting to MP4 or AVI or anything and I keep getting
    "Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie"
    It wont allow me to export the video to a different format.
    Sometimes when I cancel the export Windows pops up a screen that it's searching for a reason that the Export Controller stopped working.

    Thank you very much for the help. I tried copying and pasting the video file that is a .mov file to my zip drive and then I tried to an .avi file. The reason for doing this is so I can edit it with microsofts windows movie maker. After I had it on the zip drive and tried to export it so I could change the file it still defaults to the error 2002 message saying there is a bad public movie atom. I have done a bunch (5) other movies from the camera and they all worked and then the last one would not. So I assume there is a random factor that happens such as file size or something in the recording that causes the random atom attack. Maybe the difference is not being a mp4. It would be great if there was a definitiion of what bad public atom was and what it meant. Computers and technology is great.
    I did another search and found that a person commented on zipping the file. Well I tried to zip it from the external drive I have to my desktop and it would not work. Then I ziped the file again. Saved to a external drive then unziped it to the same external drive. From that file I then did the file export and it went fine. So the moral of the story is if the video you took is important keep searching and trying and thanks for everyones help. Why is it the vendor of the product does not post solutions? Anyway now I can go on making movies and editing them. It must be a file corruption issue so that by moving the 1's and 0's around it fixes it's self. Is it a bug with the camera recording or is a bug with quick time?

  • [HELP] Error -2002

    I just got and converted an episode of southpark. I used videora Ipod Touch Convertor. Now when ever I go to open it in QuickTime a message appears saying
    'Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie (216.mp4)'.
    If I try to open it up in iTunes nothing happens at all. This movie is not corrupt becuase it opens up perfectly in Nero. I took a screen shot of the message that appeared.

    When I had this error the fix was to make sure PHP new where to find the mysql socket. In your PHP config look for the mysql section and the lnie for setting the socket. Most likely the socket will be /tmp/mysql.sock, but depending on how mysql was installed it could be elsewhere. Apple's mysql that comes with OS X Server uses /var/mysql/mysql.sock.

  • "Error - 2002 Damaged public movie atom" bla, bla, bla"

    Hi,
    I hope that there's someone out there that could help me with this issue that I have with iTunes.
    When I try to add the taggs of each of my movies in my library, such as name, genre and poster, my iTunes 9 out of 10 times crashes. But that is not the whole thing.
    When it crashes, I discover that the movies that I tried to edit were damaged by the software and none of them are playable by either VLC, WMP or QuickTime. When I try to play them in QuickTime I get the message: "Error - 2002" and something about a damaged public atom.
    What is this **** and how do I recover all of my films?
    Plz help!

    Were these movies purchased from the iTunes Store?
    Take a look at this blog post someone made -> HOWTO: Fix the "Error - 2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie" problem with mp4 video in iTunes / Quicktime on Vista

  • Cannot add video - "Error 2002: a bad public atom was found in the movie"

    Okay, I've searched around and cannot find anything that works, this is driving me crazy! I converted a file from .avi to .mp4 and am now trying to add it to iTunes so that I can put it on my iPod Touch. When I try to add the file, whether by dragging and dropping the file into itunes or going through the File menu, nothing happens - no error messages, no notifications, nothing. If I try to open the file in Quicktime I get the "Error 2002: a bad public atom was found in the movie" message.
    I've tried editing the tags with Tagger, tried the AoA MP4 patch, tried moving the file to a flash drive and adding from there, tried running iTunes in XP compatibility mode... all with no effect. Please, is there anyone that knows how to fix this?

    Hello,
    This doesn't really solve the problem, but why don't you ask your colleague to resave or export test.3gp?
    The new file will probably work. (vs troubleshooting your Windows PC can take ages, to no avail)

  • Quicktime error -2048 when trying to play.mov files.

    I have been frustrated this weekend trying to find a solution to a problem that has only recently occurred accessing some digitised VCR tapes that had been archived on an external HDD. These are files that played back fine on my Quicksilver after I had recorded them, but now give a "Movie Not Available" message in Quicktime. However when opened in VLC I get a debug message box with the following information posted below. Any clues as to what might be the problem?
    I recorded the files from my VCR using an ADVC-100 DA converter over firewire into BTV Pro which created .mov files (DV-PAL). When I try to open the files in BTV Pro, I get a message box "There was an error opening the movie. No Movie found. Error code 20,-2048" Did a search for this error and -2048 appears to be a Quicktime error, so am wondering if there is a problem with my installation of Quicktime. I have got all the usual suspects in stalled, Flip4Mac, Perian, VLC. Mpeg Streamclip but can't get the file to open. The external HDD is Mac formatted but I found some info about problems with missing resource forks in older .mov files causing problems if copied to NTFS HDD's.
    Any ideas as to where to look next will be appreciated.

    Well it used to work fine so I think so. When I try and run the installer you linked to I get a message saying that a later version is already installed- isn't it built into the latest QT releases? One thing I thought of- the original files I think were made on a mac so there were some resource fork files of 4K size. I deleted these as I kept trying to open them by mistake, but then after this trouble I dragged them back out the trash to the original location but it didn't fix the problem- could that have caused some sort of association problem?

    Fascinated and guessing:
    Something related to sock(2) because that's not part of your copied info. I'm thinking you've doubled up on sockets and the second socket doesn't exist, meaning you should be connecting to the first socket "mysqld.sock" whether automatic or not.
    I've only used GUI tools on purpose, so does this mean you've already got MySQL running and you tried to launch it again manually? Perhaps you already have one instance of a db and you're trying to launch a second instance, and the two can't coexist with a single user local db?
    Assuming this is all local, I'd shut down the db service and restart it, out of hand. I've seen similar messages when I set the db to start up on boot, and it didn't finish shutting down when I tried to restart it manually. Usually the GUI won't let me turn it on because it reports it's already running, but in that case it hadn't finished performing what the GUI was reporting.
    Just speculating.

  • In attempt to burn blu-ray, I get QuickTime error 0.  Takes hours to export a 7 minute movie from timeline, then get notice it fails.  What's going on here?

    New problem just started 24 hours ago.  When I try to export from the time line to create a QuickTime file, a 7 minute movie on time line takes 3 hours to export and then the export fails, where as a few days ago, that export would take about 10 minutes at most.  I get the same failure notice when I try to share to blu-ray, DVD, or Vimeo.  Tried to use compressor, no such luck as compressor failed to make a .mov file.  I get QuickTime error 0 message about 5 minutes into trying to share to Blu-Ray now.   Does anyone know what is going on here?  I'm running latest update of Snow Leopard on an intel Mac Pro and the latest update to Final Cut Pro X.  I've also installed QT 7.6.6 to use in creating time lapse movie files.

    Same problem here, too. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 on OS 10.6.8. However, it is only doing it on ONE of my projects. A 4-second test project burned successfully.
    I'm  actually going to use iDVD to burn copies for a few people, so I only need the movie file from FCPX.
    Would someone please post best export settings for use on a DVD? In FCPX, the project is  in HD (1080p) with all media optimized to ProRes 442. I know it will have to be down-sampled to DVD resolution, but I've always been curious to know what settings will result produce the best possible quality in DVD resolution.
    Thank you!

  • Quicktime error code : -3

    My Toshiba Tecra S2 laptop running XP Pro SP2 went in to standby and froze there (common problem). Upon rebooting iTunes "has encountered an error and needs to close" every time I try to run it.
    I have uninstalled, re-downloaded and upon attempting re-install I get "Quicktime error code : -3" and the install fails.
    This is driving me crazy. Any ideas

    I deleted the iTunes folder in MyDocuments/MyMusic (renaming iTunes.old instead of deleting will preserve files)and re-installed and everything appears to work.

  • Random selections of mp4 videos won't sync, convert for iPhone option in iTunes comes up with unknown error 2002, help please!

    I've been having massive issues copying mp4 video files onto my iPhone 4 from my windows 7 (64 bit) pc.
    I converted a large number of avi files into mp4 using aiseesoft movie converter and most of them work just fine.
    However about a quarter of the files with no Obvious difference in size and converted the same way will not sync.
    Instead a message appears saying these cannot be played on the iPhone.
    Also when then trying to use the iTunes convert for iPhone function It fails for unknown error 2002.
    Any help on why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    When the videos are in the Movie library, try using the Create IPod and iPhone Version in the Afvanced tab of iTunes.

    I located a previous response that satisfied my issue. Below is the process that allowed me to use quicktime.
    The "fatal error" in this context has (recently) been indicating trouble with old, misplaced QuickTime componentry lurking about in your system.
    (Whether or not the message is a symptom of that problem seems to depend on what version of old misplaced stuff is lurking and what version of QuickTime proper we're trying to install or uninstall ... but in recent times, there's been an uptick in fatal errors being caused by that.)
    So let's try investigating that possibility first.
    First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in "My Computer" open Local Disk C: (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    First try exporting a self-contained movie from FCP, the using the resulting file in Compressor.  To do it, go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  In the export window, check the self-contained option but do not "recompress all frames."
    Once the export is finished, launch Compressor then use the self-contained file as the source.  If that fails, you may want to try using theis: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressorrepair/
