QuickTime error 23132 with M4v files

i have QuickTime 7 on my system. It has always played my m4v files without problem (typically TV shows and movies bought on iTunes). So tonight I downloaded the latest itunes update (12.1). Everything works fine on iTunes but if I try to now view any of these m4v files in QuickTime it complains with error 23132 and won't play. Pretty irritating. Any ideas, I guess it's DRM related but seeing as my windows machine is authorised in iTunes etc there should be no issue. For what it's worth QuickTime plays MP4 files I have just fine so it's just the m4v files causing the error code. I did notice my QuickTime 7 wasn't latest version so I updated it to the latest, 7.7.6 or something along those lines. But made no difference.
i Am sure the iTunes 12.1 is the trigger here, has anyone else updated to the latest iTunes and now sees this issue in QuickTime with playing their legitimately purchased content?
i Guess it's not the end of the world as iTunes works normally and plays them just great but very occasionally I do like to use quicktime
cheers

"Maybe this has something to do with the DMR restriction on files that you need to have each system with iTunes authorized with your account/id and password to verify you aren't copyrighting any files across systems, even though you are allowed to up to 5."
And that is the very reason I refuse to but Apple products, this assumption that you are guilty so they "restrict" what and how you can play something you have legally PAID for is outrageous.
Playing movies etc through iTunes is a huge pain because it takes up your who system and you can't do anything else while the playing. I have a two screen setup and when quicktime used to work it was on one screen and I could do things on the other, email etc. Now because this DOG quicktime doesn't work anymore iTunes blacks out the second screen when running a movie or TV show.
Just rubbish and I have bought my last item through itunes, I will pay more to buy an actual DVD so I'm not treated like a criminal and can play it on what and when I want.

I have a site with m4v files that played before the upgrade to 10.6.7, now just sound

I have a site with m4v files that played before the upgrade to 10.6.7, now when accessed the sound plays but no video. Is there a different file type I should create or is this a glitch w/this version? Played before & still plays-Mac b4UG-PC/Iphone/Ipad.

You can click the video link to play or...

Are you using Safari or Firefox? It runs as expected in Firefox, but in Safari I too get just the sound, and going to the m4v link causes the movie to download rather than play (it downloads fine and plays in Quicktime once downloaded). I checked some of my own m4v movies, and they were playing fine in Safari. For one embedded in a complex web page, see here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/snowleo.html
The next m4v has its very own very simple page, with the movie called using an embed tag with various options set (you can see the details by going to View->View Source) and also plays:

There was a problem with a Safari plug-in misbehaving very early in Snow Leopard, but I no longer remember the details. But see this archived discussion:

It was a rather complex problem, but I had thought one of the updates fixed it.

ERROR: validate with data file failed

Hi,
We are using SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP08(Admin & client). We are trying to load transaction data from BW actual cube to BPC application for which we have written the following transformation file.
*MAPPING
CATEGORY=*NEWCOL(ACTUAL)
P_ACCT2=MVAL(0RECTOTSTCK|NEWCOL(PRODQU))
P_DATASRC=*NEWCOL(INPUT)
MATERIALBW=0MATERIAL
RPTCURRENCY=0LOC_CURRY
TIME=0CALMONTH
SIGNEDDATA=0RECTOTSTCK
*CONVERSION
TIME=Conversion for IM Actuals.XLS!CONVERSION
We want to map BW keyfigure 0RECTOTSTK (production quantity) to PRODQU - a member of the dimension P_ACCT2. And also we want to load the data from that key figure into our SIGNEDDATA field in BPC.
We have validated and processed the conversion file without error, but getting the following error while validating definition of the transformation file:
"ERROR: validate with data file failed"
Can you please help on this.
Thanks in advance.

Issue was resolved.We were trying to load data from the cube 0IC_C03.However, that cube had some non-cumulative key figures. BPC 7.5 SP08 does not allow data to be loaded from BW cubes having non-cumulative key-figures to BPC Cubes.This is a bug which will be rectified in SP11 according to SAP.
Since we needed only 0RECTOTSTCK which is a cumulative key figure we created a separate BW cube and loaded it from 0IC_C03 using only the necessary cumulative key figures and other dimensions.We then used the new cube to load data into BPC cube and it worked.

Quicktime error -50 with "H.264 for DSP"

Hello.
When compressing for HD DVD with the profile "H.264 for DVD Studio Pro" (on macosx 10.5.5, QuickTime 7.5.5) I systematically get a QuickTime error -50, about which I am finding no information at all. More, precisely this is what the logs report
(in com.apple.stomp.transcoder.stomp.log)
... msg="Processing service request error: QuickTime Error: -50"
(in com.apple.compressor.cluster.admin.log)
<log ... msg="Handling exception: ... fatal exception = QuickTime error: -50, fail count = 1." />
<log ... msg="Stopping the failed request." />
This happens with all kind of sources, but only when the setting is "H.264 for DVD Studio Pro". All other settings work as expected. I don't know what to think, possibly an upgrade problem, possibly one of the QuickTime plugins installed on my system might be interfering (but then perhaps the error should occur given a source for all output settings, rather than vice versa, fixed the DSP setting for sources of all kinds). Google doesn't seem to know about this, searching this mailing list hasn't helped, nor grep-ing my system for more expressive error reports.
In way of help, can please anybody:
(1) confirm that they are able with Compressor 3.0.4 to produce H.264 for DSP
(2) shed some light on what this QuickTime Error: -50 might be, perhaps by pointing me to log files where some more information is given? (fatal exception -50 is not very helpful, really...)
My interest is of course to learn how to bypass the problem, or alternatively to convince DSP to accept H.264 in HD DVD projects generated by encoders others than Compressor with "H.264 for DSP" profile, or alternatively to understand how to make DSP accept H.264 generated by a third-party encoder (eg x264). Does anybody know?
thanks

Hi:
I've been experiencing all sorts of issues with compressor, somewhat like this. I think my quicktime plug-ins are the culprit. Example, I have been exporting directly out of Motion with no problems lately, but when I export to Compressor I see my "Flip4Mac" import window several times, then Compressor either fails to export, or crashes.
I would suggest trying a direct export from FCP or Motion, or whatever your source is. See if that works. Just bypass Compressor and choose your HD DVD option from the export window. It does the trick with Motion.

Quicktime error 0 with compressor

Every time I try to export a sequence from FCP 5.0.2 using compressor I get an error when it tries to export the video saying "quicktime error 0" also when I try to export as a quicktime movie, I get a message saying "general error" im running compressor 2.0.1
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks
~jon

Udate: The contained Quicktime file that I exported from FCPX rendered fully with no errors in Compressor, so I guess I"m in the clear, but I think this was an unnecessary extra step. Its a mystery why I was getting the error when sending the render to Compressor from within FCPX.
Anyone else that has this issue, please share any solutions if you have them.

Quicktime Error:0 with Compressor 4

Here's what I'm working on:
Mac Pro Quad-Core
16gb RAM
Mac OSX 10.7.5
I"m exporting from FCPX 10.0.7 to Compressor 4. I have an 82 minute timeline. When Compressor opens, I select the standard DVD presets for mpeg2 video and ac3 audio. The audio file renders fine, but the video files fails and I get this error- "Failed: Quicktime Error: 0"
When importing every source file, I have optimized media selected. Any ideas whats causing this?

QuickTime stutters only with .mpg files

Only since I've updated to Mac OS X 10.5.2 that I've been experiencing this problem. I have a load of .mpg files recorded using my digital camera, as well as a bunch of files I've downloaded from the net. These used to play back perfectly fine and smooth in QuickTime, but now every few seconds there is a big stutter. The files aren't corrupt as every other media player plays them fine. Also, it is just .mpg files QuickTime is struggling with, any other supported format plays perfectly fine.
The file codec is 'MPEG1 Muxed'.
I've tried reinstalling QuickTime, the Leopard Graphics update and neither have provided me with any fixes.

Why did you uninstall Perian? You need it!
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

Error 6 with Open File

My SW is running on a FP2000 with LV7.1. It generates many text files; periodically, the files are opened, a few lines are added, and the files are reclosed. The program runs fine for 15 minutes or so, then suddenly all "Open/create/replace file.vi" start to fail. I debugged them and i saw that it's "Open File" that fails. From now on it will always generate error 6 for every file, existing or new. I debugged the file paths wired to Open File, they're valid, and there's nothing new with name formats, file sizes, file contents, access mode... Also:
- during this condition, FTP server doesn't work: i can browse the FP disk but can't transfer files
- if i stop the program, FTP starts working again
- if i reboot the FP or simply restart the program, all is ok again (for 15 minutes...)
- if i run the same program under windows, i don't experience the problem
- i've already tried to reformat the flash disk
help!!!

As the error comes up after some time the code has been running and it disappears whenever you restart your target, it appears the problem has to do with something that builds up over time.
I suggest you use the Tools>>Realtime System Manager to track what happens on the FP from a Memory/CPU point of view.
Also, try and see what happens with the attached example on your FP. I tested this on mine and it does not seem to cause any problem.

Is the iTunes equalizer NOT supposed to work with .m4v files?

I'm using a mid-2009 MBP5,5, Snow Leopard 10.6.8, iTunes 10.3.1(55). I notice that the equalizer works fine with AAC audio files, but has no effect with .m4v (mpeg-4) music videos purchased from the iTunes store. Does anyone know if this is normal or if not, what can be done to remedy it?
Just in case, I've repaired permissions, though it seems a waste of time as I can verify permissions afterwards and all the same problems are still there no matter how many times I repair them.
Thanks,
Darran

Thank you. I too came to this conclusion after trying all video files and even re-encoding with aac audio and still no joy. Thanks for replying.

Error when Importing m4v files created with Handbreak

I am copying my VHS home movies to DVD using a Sony DVD recorder. When I put the disk into my Macbook Pro it looks like a folder rather than a disk image. The folder (named SONYDVD_RECORDERVOLUME) is empty when I click on it. It plays fine on my DVD Player. Handbrake is able to load the DVD files and I can copy them using iTune high quality recording set. The resulting file funs fine with QT, loads on my iPod and plays fine, will copy into iMovie but when I try to put into Final Cut Express I get an error message : File Error: Unknown File. Is there something that I am missing??? Ideas would be appreciated,

Eric:
Thank you. MPEG Slipstream worked great.
Do you know if there is software available that would let me see what is in/copy the files in the Sony folder so that I might be able to copy the disk directly instead of having to copy the files off of it with Handbrake? Would having the QT add-on for the MPEG-2 playback component be helpful?
Thanks again

Mac OS error 824 with AVI File

Hello, all. So I've done a few searches on this subject, which should be near and dear to your hearts. It concerns a difficulty that I'm having with playing several AVI video files back on Quicktime, and since I plan to use iMovie to edit them, I need to rectify this asap.
Now as you can see from the message topic, I'm being told this is due to an "error 824," and I can't for the life of me find out online what this is. But I do know that my roommate, who also uses Mac, can play the same files on his computer using Quicktime, and I can also play them back on VLC on my computer as well, so I know it's not a hardware problem. I have also removed the XVid codecs from the library folder, and all that's done is ruined my ability to play back other AVI files that need it. (BTW, the files in question use the DVSD codec, as they were shot on a Panasonic camera.)
So does anyone know what's needed here? Let me know. Thanks!

It could be a problem in the new Quick Time (QT). My Updater downloaded the new QT 7.4.5 on 5 Apr 2008. I have been making movies in iMovie then posting them to YouTube. In the beginning I uploaded the movies as MOVs but soon discovered AVI files (larger file and added time to upload) had more clarity when viewed on YouTube. Once the new QT 7.4.5 downloaded all my AVIs had picture, but no sound! I downloaded the Perian component as posted in QT discussions. The sound returned to the AVI files. However, when I Exported an AVI movie from iMovie the picture quality was worse than MOV. There is something wrong with the new QT 7.4.5 when working with AVI, my AVI movies look terrible. These AVI files were all downloaded from my Ultra Flip Video camera with Flip’s codec 3vix. Flip is aware of this problem and acknowledged it last Friday. I sure hope Apple is also aware.

Unknown file error, not with reference files

I get unknown file errors when trying to import quicktime movies (.mov) that are NOT reference files. I exported them using quicktime conversion and they take up several megabytes for about 10 seconds of video, and I even did cmd-j in quicktime to check. What else could be causing this? I have read write access too...
Thanks, Zach

What codec did you use when you exported the movies?

Quicktime error -50 with QT 7.0.4 and OS 10.4.5

Since I upgraded to 10.4.5, Quicktime 7.0.4 fails to export some files to H264.
I copied the same files on a another machine running 10.4.4 with Quicktime 10.4.1 and I had no problem.

The problem seems to be with Quicktime 7.0.4. If you downgrade to 7.0.1 then upgrade to 7.0.3 you should be able to export again with no problems.
I haven't been able to find a solution with 7.0.4.

Read parameter error -50 with larger file - please help

I have this line of code: (read sfRef from SourcePosition as data)
It works fine with these 811.2MB files but when I try to read from a 1.62GB file I get parameter error -50. Did I miss something about larger files?

found it!
You can't read larger than 1gb. I had it grab the data in multiple pieces and it works now.

QuickTime using PlayList with OMF file

I have a OMF video file. It is composed of many individual video clips combined together as a OMF video file.   I could get a playlist from our video creater that has the information of each of the video files (like the timestamp information where the start and end of a video file).   I am sure I am using the correct terminology, but I think the idea is there.
I will be given a playlist for a different filtering of the OMF video file.   I want the ability to tell the video player which video clip to show.
I believe Quicktime is able to view OMF files, but I don't know if it can handle playlist, etc.
The OMF video file will be download to the iPad and I was planing on using power point to show a video for each of the slides.   Each of the slide is part of the playlist that I want to show.   So for Slide #1, I will program in the power point the controls to start the iPad player and instruct which playlist to play.
I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks,

QuickTime version 10.3 found in Mavericks drops support for dozens of legacy formats and codecs.
The same files will work in the free version of QuickTime Player 7 without the need of a Pro upgrade.
