Quicktime Pro problems, involving Error -43 and disappearing files

I'm very confused, and I'm hoping someone can help me. Right now I'm in the process of trying to get my Quicktime Pro movies to my Ipod (in iTunes), but it hasn't been working for me. Hopefully I can get some insight here.
What I do is, I download the MPEG4 video files and they open up in Quicktime Pro. I then click "Export" and choose Video to iPod. I then choose a destination, and re-name the file if I want (I usually rename it, and send it either to my desktop or My documents). After it's exported, it SHOULD appear in that place, and about 30% of the times it does, the other times it just disappears. However, after I'm done dragging it to iTunes, I then want to take it off my desktop, so I've been putting all of the video files into a folder I created in My documents. Now, they DO load onto my Ipod and iTunes, but when I want to play them in iTunes, it does the whole "Error 43- File could not be found" when I know for SURE it's still on my computer. And if I want to play that certain video file again on Quicktime, when I search for it the files arn't even there, yet when I go in manually I see them.
Some theories I have: When I export the files from Quicktime to iPod, I usually rename the file. Does this affect anything?
My iTunes IS NOT set to manually manage music and videos, maybe I should reset that?
One thing I am curious about, is when I put the exported video files into a folder on my computer, the little icon that comes up for them is the Windows Media Player Icon. This may just be because I'm using a Windows PC, but who knows.
I really hope someone has ideas on what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate some help. Or if someone would walk me step-by-step through the process of Quicktime ---> iPod, that would be wonderful also.

The only time I have experienced error- 43 file could not be found was when having a drive named in a way that QT could not read from. For example (F:\F:\), drive named (F:\) QT could then play. Kirkster points out something interesting in this link on how the error 43 can also be generated:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1151490&tstart=15
Changing the name of a file should not prevent QT from playing the file, it is unusual to have a WMP logo on the file, what is showing when right clicking and Properties?
It is difficult to understand your post, your all over the place at once on the computer.

    Br,

    Hi Rahul.
    Two things. Firstly some of the paths you have in your project are very long. In the example you have given we are seeing less than half the path. This may not be the problem but it maybe in the future. Secondly, as Peter has suggested, the problem maybe related to source control. Do you use it? I have heard of instances where (e.g. .FPJ) files cause issues.

  • Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7

    Hi, I ‘am a Graphic Designer and first time working in UAE Windows 7 is basically the only OS here. My PC is:
    HP Elite 7000
    Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 2.67GHz
    4GB RAM
    32-bit
    Now to the problem, not that knowledgeable in IT stuff so here goes:
    1. Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7. (You will actually see a “Not Responding” word coming out while opening and saving files, whether small or large files)
    2. Locked layers occasionally are moved accidentally.(Working on multiple layers is normal so we need to lock it specially the once on top. But there are times I still manage to select locked layers)
    3. After typing and locking the text, pressing “V” for the arrow key shortcut is still added to the text that is locked. (After typing I lock the text layer with my mouse and Press “V” to activate the arrow key… yes the arrow key is activated but the text is still typing the actual keyboard pressed)
    I’ve only use the brand new PC and installer for a month now. Not sure if this is compatibility issues or something else I’m not aware of.
    Thanks in advance to people that will reply.
    Cheers!!!

    Well I’m still wondering if it is compatibility issues because I’m also having problem with Photoshop CS5. These 3 are all bought at the same time (PC, Illustrator and Photoshop installers). The problem I’m having in Photoshop is not that too important, every time I Ctrl+O to view files, all PSD are shown in white paper like icons, no preview, and saving as well.
    Or I just purchased a corrupted or pirated installers… Adobe updates are done every time I’m prompted.

  • QuickTime Pro audio exporting error - help please!

    So I've got Perian installed to read 1080p HD movies and I opened up .mkv files in QuickTime Pro and allowed it to read the files into memory (let the grey bar go for a few minutes).  Once that was done, I wanted to export the DTS 5.1 surround sound audio track to .AIF format and do a pass through encoding of the video only.  After this, I use MAX to convert the .AIF file into an AC3 file which I add back into the video only to create the final .mp4 file with 5.1 sound.  I've done this successfully before and I prefer this method to downconverting the 5.1 audio into stereo sound when converting the .mkv to .mp4.  This time however, QuickTime Pro miserably failed.  I have Avatar in 1080p and The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1080p as well and I wanted to convert them to .mp4 the same way I've done before.  All of them failed with the same error.  When I tried to export the audio, I believe it said, "qtKiterrorcatchall (-1309)" and it failed.  It said this for all of the videos and strangely enough, it worked great with another .mkv movie I had perfectly with audio and video tracks in the same formats.  Does anyone know how I can fix this and export the audio track so I can preserve the surround sound and put it back into the .mp4 video file? Many thanks...

    I'm having the same problem. Were you able to get an response or and answer to this problem? Thanks

  • Quicktime Pro, Problem Converting Video to iPod

    When I convert my movie files using Quicktime Pro I encounter a problem. After the converting is over the video works on my iPod, but the audio track is lost and there is no sound. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks
    -Jason

    Check to make sure it is not a muxed mpeg by opening the source file in QT Player and looking at MovieInfo in the Windows menu. If it is a muxed mpeg you will have to use something other than QT since it will not export the sound from mpegs. Some people have had good results with this freeware, but there are other Windows programs starting to appear for iPod conversion:

  • Problem Getting Error Code and Description in Alerts

    We are having trouble getting the Error code and Error description in the Alerts and we're having trouble getting a alert for message mapping exceptions.  I have read through the BLOGs and the help on SAP.  I'm not sure it is something to do with the configuration or SP14.  We did not have these problems with SP12 at our other customer XI implementations.
    Background -
    We have setup an "XI Alert" classification with three Alert categories -"XI_Mapping_Error", "XI_Adapter_Error", "XI_Runtime_Error". 
    For the "XI_Mapping_Error" alert category, we have setup a rule so that any Integration Engine Application Mapping.* Error code will create an alert.  However, when we have a mapping error in XI which we can see in MONI, we do not get an alert.  The checkbox for "Suppress Multiple Alerts of this Rule" is not selected.  I am not sure why we're not getting the alert.
    For the "XI_Adapter_Error" alert category, we have setup a rule so that any Adapter Engine * adapter type will create an alert.  The alert gets created - however, some of the container variables do not get poulated in the email.  We have defined Container variables pointing to the corresponding ABAP data dictionary elements - i have double checked these definitions.
    Here is an alert email - the Error Code (SXMS_ERROR_CODE -  SXMSERRTX) and Error Category (SXMS_ERROR_CAT - SXMSERRCAT) are not being extracted:
    Alert ID: ##23896##
    Error Code =
    Error Category =
    Message ID = 1506eab0-6125-11da-9ba2-00505685 Time = 14:26:12 Date = 29.11.2005
    Sender Party =
    Sender Service = BS_CPI
    Sender Interface = MI_CPI_INV_RFC_REQ_ABS
    Receiver Party =
    Receiver Service = BS_CPI
    Receiver Interface =
    We are not able to figure out why the Alert framework is not working correctly.  We are running XI 3.0 SP 14 on Win2K, SQL 2000.
    Anyone encounter these problems?  Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jay Malla

    >> There are some problems with SP 14 and the alert framework.
    Very true! Join the team!
    >> We applied Note 876546 which triggered certain alerts that were not getting triggered. However, we're not getting the Error code and Error Description in some of the alerts.
    Jay, This note is specifically for a situation where the 'where did the error occur' set to No Restriction. I don't think anything else is included in this fix .01 to patch 0.9 of SPS 12 of XI 3.0!!!
    My problem is that even the messageID variable is not getting replaced!!! In SP12 everything was perfect. After SP14, the errors are coming almost instantaneously to the inbox, but without any variable replacement.
    Best of luck,
    Kannan

  • Quicktime pro settings for the Ipod and web.

    I was reading an article on creating files specifically optimized playback on Ipod and I also listed the video formats that are supported below. Below these settings are 2 questions that I have.
    H.264 video
    File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
    Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per second (fps), Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
    Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
    MPEG-4 video
    File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
    Video: Up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile
    Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
    Is it possible in Quicktime Pro to create one file that could be used for a website to download and view 30 minute videos in Quicktime as well as be available for people to download to their ipods?
    For the website I realize I would want to use the correct HTML protocol as well as the "Fast Start" features in Quicktime Pro for playback while downloading.
    If it is possible,what settings could be used to create this type of file that could be used for a website and ipod?

    I would still use the save as method to change the file extension. The default "open with" application for .m4v is iTunes, not QuickTime Player and not all users have installed it. Viewers know what a .mov file is. A .m4v may confuse them.
    Use the Export to iPod settings (nearly foolproof) and test the file so you're sure it plays in QuickTime and the iPod.
    Next use the Movie Info window to add "Annotations". These can be things like changing the "title", adding copyright notices, artist names and dozens of other things.
    Also set the movie "poster frame". This special frame shows as an image when, or if, you decide to use RSS feeds or Podcasts for the file.
    Now that you've edited the file you need to save it. A "regular" Save may not preserve the fast start properties. Using "Save As" will restore the fast start feature.
    Your viewers can either watch the file in the browser window or click on your other link and choose to save the file to their computer.

  • Shoot direct to QuickTime Pro vs. typical DV tape and capture

    I own and run a harmonica instruction website. I'm going to add instructional video to the mostly text based lessons on the site. I have a Canon GL1, G5 Dual 2.3, FCP, and I'm shooting with an 3 point lighting setup in my office/studio.
    I can turn the camera on, setup the lights, and record direct to QuickTime Pro in it's Device Native mode. Will the quality ultimately be the same as if I record to a DV tape and then capture to FCP? It's certainly faster going direct to QT PRO, but I do have a built-in tape backup system by recording first with the GL1 and I don't want to sacrifice quality if that's the case.
    Thanks for your help,
    Dave Gage
    http://www.harmonicalessons.com

    I have an XL1s and have been forced to use the direct capture via QTpro (due to a broken tape mechanism) and I must say, it works great. It captures as DV - same quality as going to tape; however once it is done recording, you must export as a dv stream in order to get the file to be recognized by FCP. I have yet to see any difference between this method and capturing to tape, but then again, I have no choice. If you have the extra hard disk space to spare, I recommend avoiding tape, but it's up to you.
    By the way, does anyone know why FCP doesn't recognize the raw capture files? It uses the DV codec to capture in QT, so why does it not work?

  • Windows Quicktime Pro problems - no video screens [under "file"]

    I have downloaded and installed Quicktime Pro and keyed in correct registration codes. [Quicktime 7 Pro is displayed] When in Apple Quicktime Pro- I am unable to see any kind of video screen data under "file" - Audio info is there [New audio recording]- but no video screens of any kind. I thought that maybe Quicktime Pro could not recognize my web camera [Panasonic]
    I have tried: switching firewire cards[3 others] and switched around quicktime preferences ie - Video to Safe mode/Direct X - still no change.
    When I connect camera, Digital Video device on computer acknowledges that there is a camera and gives me 4-5 software choices ie - Adobe, Windows Media Player but Quicktime Pro is not one of them.

  • Mac OS 10.7 and Premiere Pro CS5 not reading AVI and DV files, not rendering to Media Encoder

    Hi Folks,
    I've been wrestling with these problems since I bought my Macbook Pro running Lion (currently v10.7.3). I've had video editing and DVD authoring workflows that have worked perfectly for both CS3 and CS4 with Premiere Pro and Encore. I used to be able to import DV and AVI files and render timelines to Adobe Media Encoder so I can make DVD projects in Encore but it seems there are a lot of broken bits and pieces either with 10.7 or with CS5 or both. I've tired creating new projects or re-editing CS4 Premiere Pro projects that I can still edit with CS4 on my old Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. In fact I've given up on CS5 and I've gone back to my old laptop to edit. My problems with CS5/5.5 are:
    1     Can't import DV files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
    2     Can't import AVI files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
    3     When I export media and try to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) the render queue doesn't respond to the files being sent from Premiere Pro (PPro). I have to render the files one at a time from within PPro. I have no idea where the queued files go but even if I have AME open it doesn't respond. In CS4 AME would open automatically and wait until I told it to render the files.
    4     In Encore I've had trouble burning to DVD. I have to make an ISO file and then burn that using Toast. I'n not particularly fussed about this but while I'm unloading I may as well give you the full picture.
    Basically I'm really hating this vcersion of CS5/Mac OS. Lion is like using Vista from what I can tell. On my PCs I went from XP to Windows 7 so I kinda avoided all that pain it it seems the computer gods are smiting good and proper now. I don't care whose fault it is I want Apple and Adobe to fix it or if some kind soul can share their experiences and hopefully how they fixed it I'd be eternally grateful until the next upgrade totally blindsides us all.
    Thank you in anticipation --> Mal/Melboure/AU

    Sorry for your troubles.
    Pr 5.5.2 is still a bit persnickety for me on 10.6.8, but overall, it's still faster than FCP7 and MC6, and overall pretty dependable.  Imports and plays AVI files just fine.
    Lion still isn't ready for prime time, from what I've seen.  Like all Mac OS releases, it probably won't be until 10.7.6 or so.  And that may never happen, becuase 10.8 is purported to be just around the corner.
    So, my advice is, if possible, go back to what works, 10.6.8.
