Quicktime Recovery Problem

I wasn't sure if this should be in the mac quicktime area or the PC quicktime area, but since the files were created on a mac originally, I put the question here.
I recently had an external western digital drive problem where Final Cut Pro froze while opening a project file. When I shut everything down and looked at the external drive where the footage was stored, all of the files in one of the media folders for this project were gone. The drive (I didn't know anything about drive formatting when I purchased it) was formatted fat32.
I tried Stellar Phoenix (useless), Disk Warrior (doesn't work with fat32), and finally Data Rescue II. Data Rescue II recovered about 90% of the files, but I REALLY need the other 10%. The 90% that it did recover plays fine.
I took the hard drive and hooked it up to a PC. I used Power Data Recovery which, unlike Data Rescue II, was able to recover file names intact along with file creation dates, etc. Everything was there. Great, I tell it to recover everything, it does, and I save it to another fat 32 hard drive since I'm on a PC and need to move them back to the mac environment.
I bring the hard drive home and when I try the quicktimes from another fat32 drive, it says, "I/O error" movie will not play.
When I move them to the mac internal drive, the message is, "The movie will not play." "The file is not a movie file." Now it shows them as quicktimes, they've all got the .mov extension, so where is the problem? They were all created on a mac, so did something happen to them while recovering from a PC to make them unreadable in a mac environment? They were high definition quicktimes created by the FCP wrapper for Panasonic P2 media files.
Can ANYONE help me with this? It seems like a quicktime issue from PC to mac, but I can't be sure. And if it is, how can they be fixed? Is there a program that will recover actual file names, DBR information, etc. from a fat32 on a mac?

I can see the frustration, but I also think I can see the way forward (based on the information you give here):
after I use the clean up utility it will start installation of Itune and then right at the end it stop and tell me I need quicktime, when I install quicktime it wont even start cause I have to delete the old version. You see my frustration.
Launch your CleanUp again. *Don't delete anything just at the moment.* We're going to have a look first.
At the top of the list, can you see any entries that start with (All Users) but don't have a name of a program next to them, just a version number in square brackets? If so, what version numbers are you seeing? (Best not to include the square brackets in your reply, or the forum software will autoformat the contents into a hyperlink ... harmless, but disconcerting if you aren't expecting it.)
If you don't see anything like that, do you see any lines which just have (All Users) but lack both a program name and a version number?
Failing that, are there any completely blank lines at the top of the list in CleanUp?
(Sometimes if an msi is damaged enough, it'll appear in CleanUp without a program name or version number ... however, other things can appear in there with program names, hence the checking-it-twice before considering deleting anything.)

  • Quicktime encounters problem and must close. Sorry for inconvenience.

    I have downloaded Quicktime now 3 times and each time downloaded it again after first removing it from the control panel. Up to a few months ago I never had a problem and used it for many years as such. I think the problems started when the combination iTunes/Quicktime came on the market but I might be wrong. I have downloaded the combination, then Quicktime separately and iTunes separately but to no avail.
    I am an amateur in the field of problem soving so ask for your help. I have the icon sitting on the desktop but when I click on it I get immediately the message:
    "Quicktime encounters problem and must close. Sorry for inconvenience." What I don't think I had before is the fact that during installing I say the Icon appearing on my desktop and immediately my computer goes black and start
    a reboot. So I suppose my problem can be anything.
    I most likely messed something up.
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

    What I don't think I had before is the fact that during installing I say the Icon appearing on my desktop and immediately my computer goes black and start
    a reboot.
    That's a bit disconcerting. Are you getting a flash of a blue screen as well?
    We can make "hidden" blue screens stick around a little longer by using the following technique:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
    Make those settings changes, and try another install.
    If you do get a blue screen this time, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)

  • Pro Tools files imported to FCP X causing QuickTime movie problem

    Well 2 days later and hours on the phone with Apple tech support Senior Advisors, and problem still not solved. HELP. 
    Everything works fine in FCP X, but when I create the QuickTime movie, it is way out of sync (by many seconds).
    We have isolated the problem to audio files that I am exporting to Pro Tools, processing, and then importing back into FCP X. I can create a QuickTime movie with the original video/audio and it is fine.
    Information
    The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48kHz, 24 bits.
    I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
    I simply provide this FYI. As I said earlier, the original video works fine and the resulting QuickTime movie works fine. So the original  files imported into the FCP project are not the problem.
    The creation of the problem audio occurs as follows:
    - Detach the original audio from the original video, and export
    - Import this audio into a 48.0 kHz/16-bit Pro Tools HD session and EQ/limit the audio
    - Import the resulting audio into FCP X (exact same length file, audio waveforms aligned with the original audio).
    This audio works fine in FCP. It is in sync with the video, everything looks great.
    I ran Pro Tools at 16-bits because a senior advisor told me FCP runs at 16-bits but does not convert imported stand-alone audio (as opposed to combined video/audio) to 16-bits; thus the Pro Tools session had to be at 16-bits. I changed from 24-bits to 16-bits, and this didn't solve the problem. (FYI, when Pro Tools imports the original audio exported from FCP, it says the audio is 24-bits, not 16-bits).
    What is the problem?
    The basic question is why does this audio cause QuickTime a problem?
    Something is going on in the conversion to the QT movie. In FCP X, I don't have a way to play with the conversion variables except to set "Video and Audio" and "Use current settings" (which is ProRes 422).
    The only difference I see between the original audio and the Pro Tools audio is that the original audio is stereo and Pro Tools works with dual mono files (L & R). The mono files work fine in FCP and I can't imagine why QT would have a problem with these, but I haven't tried converting the files to stereo before importing into FCP.
    I should also mention that I selected the stabilization and roll correction algorithms in FCP. I assume these don't create problems in QT. I mention this because I didn't use them when I tested making a QT movie with the original video/audio files.
    FCP and Pro Tools are used together all the time to do exactly what I am doing......improve the sound of the original audio. They are the premier video and audio professional programs. Of course, the final product is often not a QuickTime movie, but many times it is a QT movie.
    What the heck is going on???
    HELP.

    (1) It is immediately out of sync. It even appears to be speeded up to me initially, but this is subjective. But it is clearly out of sync throughout, not a gradual drift.
    (2) When I create the audio files in the Pro Tools session, the files are automatically stored in the audio folder of the  Pro Tools session. So I don't actually have to go through an export process. I just close the Pro Tools session, then open FCP X and import the audio from the Pro Tools folder.
    I'm not sure what additional specifications you seek, other than:
    - wav files
    - sample rate = 48 kHz
    - Bit rate = 16-bits (and earlier I used 24-bits)
    - Files are dual mono, rather than stereo (name_01.L.wav, name_01.R.wav). As I mentioned above, I have not yet tried converting these to stereo before importing into FCP, to see if dual mono causes an issue with QT. It does not cause a problem in FCP. I will try this today if we don't solve the problem.
    (3) I can upload a portion of the audio to a server and send you a link to the file so you can download it. Is there a way to private message on the forum so I can get an email address to send you the link?
    (4) The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48 kHz, 24 bits.
    I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
    The FCP Project was set up at:
    - Starting time code - 01.00.00.00
    - Format - 1080p
    - Resolution - 1920 x 1080
    - Frame rate - 29.97p
    - Audio channels - stereo
    - Sample rate - 48 kHz
    - Rendering format - Apple ProRes 422

    The message means that your internal hard has been damaged. This message always comes up when the file system is corrupted. I suggest to remove it, connect the hard drive into a different computer as an external drive (use usb caddy), perform a backup if possible and the format the hard drive and restore the factory settings. I'm afraid that you have to reformat the hard drive, a checkdisk scan won't help..
    The error message means that the Boot Sector is corrupt or has been damaged. It does not mean that the hard disk is damaged.
    This is a fixable issue. There are a few command line tools that can be used.
    You will  need to make an appropriate version (32-bit / 64-bit) of the Windows 7 repair disc from a working Windows 7 installation. You will need either a USB or CD to create your rapair CD/USB. Follow the instructions on this video to create the repair installation of your choice..You will will be using the manual boot sector repair that is described in this video to repair your Windows 7 Boot sector.  Use the Windows 7 repair disc or repair USB thumb drive that you created earlier to accomplish the repair.

  • 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:

  • ITunes / Quicktime Video Problems With Windows VISTA

    I took up Windows Vista as soon as it was available and initially had no problems with iTunes. Then later, video clips (those purchased from iTunes and those I had converted myself) started stuttering / freezing and eventually crashing iTunes and finally I lost audio as well.
    Ayyway to cut a long story short, I have uninstalled / re-installed Vista now about eight times for problems with installing drivers for USB devices (I've finally solved all these problems). After the last install the first program I installed was iTunes, tried video and it worked flawlessly. Then, each time I added a hardware device or program I would restart Vista and retry iTunes video.
    The first item I added was a USB thumb drive (as I had on all previous occasions to take advantage of Vista's 'Ready Boost'). The thumb drive is a 'Sony 2GB micro vault tiny', and meets the transfer speed requirements for 'Ready Boost', as soon as I had set the drive up for 'Ready Boost' I started having the same problems with iTunes video and Quicktime.
    Removed the thumb drive, restarted iTunes and had flawless video playback again. Have tried this over and over with the same result.
    So my question is, has anyone else had video playback problems with iTunes / Vista and found similar problems. Trying to tie down whether this is a compatability problem with 'Ready Boost' or the thumb drive used. I have also tried a Sandisk Titanium 2GB with the same result.
    I am not sure exactly how 'Ready Boost' works, I thought it added memory that was used to cache page files to the thumb drive instead of to the HDD making a faster seek /access time? Which should make things faster. Another article I read today was talking about 'Ready Boost' being an affordable extension to RAM, in this case I could understand the problem as I would think the access to a USB 2.0 thumbdrive would be slower than that to RAM.
    Any help appreciated, but I guess my bottom line is anytime I want to watch video on iTunes, I just pull the USB thumb drive .
    PC Pentium 4   Other OS   Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have the same stuttering video issues with iTunes and Vista. While I have used a thumb drive to transfer files (not Sony) I have not yet messed with Ready boost. I have seen several others complain about the video problem, perhaps they will chime in as well. Unfortunately, your solution doesn't work for me. I pretty much ignore iTunes, waiting for the next version (only god knows when it will be released).
    I do have an external firewire drive connected, I'll disconnect later today and see if that has any affect.

  • Recovery Problem

    I have a Dell Latitude X200 laptop (with Windows XP Pro) and a Zire 31.  My use of the Zire is restricted to its Calendar and Contacts features.  On April 29 the Palm data on the Dell was seriously corrupted.  The Zire has not been HotSynced for over a month.  BUT, by using the “Export” option in the Zire’s Calendar and Contacts sections, I had saved those two datasets to a flash drive on April 27.  I want to:  1) Remove all present data from the Dell and the Zire.  2) Copy the saved Calendar and Contacts data from the flash drive into the Dell.  3) Perform a “HotSync” to copy the correct data in the Dell into the Zire.  Is there any hope that I can get my April 27 data back into the Dell where it belongs, and then into the Zire?

    A couple of things:
    Reset system bios to the defaults - F2 at start up to enter the bios f9 to set to defaults and then f10 to save.
    then try to start.
    Did you have any problems before trying to recover, slow or lagging response, etc. These problems can be caused by virus/maleware and also a failing hard drive.
    The recovery may not be completing because of bad sectors on the drive - a failing hard drive.

  • Mac OS recovery problem. Need help

    Hello toevery one.
    I have defective SATA cable to HD bay now. And also new clean SDD Samsung 840 Pro 240 GB (without data or any OS on it) installed in HD bay
    I've ordered a new cable, but I'd like to use the SSD untill then, if it was possible so I decided to change my HDD (that on working properly SATA cable) and SDD (that on defective SATA cable) in places and restore Mac OS via external HDD with Time Machine image on faster SSD. So now my new SSD on the optical drive bay with working properly SATA cable and HDD on HD bay with defective SATA cable.
    And I faced a problem...
    1. I've made configuration of SSD and erased the contents of the SSD and formated it as "Mac O S Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition.
    2. I chose the most fresh Image on my HDD that has been prepared in advance and started to wait.
    3. The recovery of the system froze on 0,5% and estimated time started to rapidly increase. I've cancelled it when estimated time of full recovery was about 24 hours. System hanged and I turned it off by pressing POWER button.
    4. I repeated all the operations again.
    5. The recovery froze on 3,8% and estimated time started to grow up again.
    6. I've took a look on log file and saw that some host can't be reached or found.
    Do you know what is the problem?
    Thank you!

  • Itunes and quicktime major problems...

    I can't get itunes to work at all and now quicktime's stopped functioning! I get the usual "Sorry for the inconvenience but itunes has encounted a problem and needs to close" every time I try and start it. I've installed quicktime from the main apple download and it installs fine but won't actually work! I've tried uninstalling quicktime but I get the message ' fatal error during installation' and it quits the uninstall. I've uninstalled itunes and after reinstalling it get the same 'sorry for the inconvenience' message again. Need assistance from an itunes expert please. Thanks.

    hmmmm. i'm better at the 6.0.x and 5.0.x versions of this. but let's try some things here.
    the message that you're getting with the QT uninstall is a variation of the 1603 error message that folks used to get in the 6.0.x and 5.0.x days. so we'll atart working through some of the techniques that used to work with it on a QT uninstall/install in those days.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next, clear leftover QuickTime program files and folders from the PC.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    restart your PC, and try installing iTunes again.
    does the install go through properly this time?

    Hi McCarterRN.
    Did you order a USB recovery stick from HP?
    Are you testing the USB recovery device or is your PC unbootable?
    If your PC is functioning correctly you can, for additional peace of mind, create DVD or USB recovery media by using HP's Recovery Manager. I cannot direct you to instructions on creating recovery media as I do not know your product number and factory installed operating system (OS). If you have upgraded your OS this will present additional obstacles.
    Please provide the factory and current operating system you are using. Please provide your HP product number.
    HP product number instructions can be found here.

  • TOSHIBA NB550D-111 Recovery problem due to swm error

    I own a NB550D-111 (preinstalled W7 Starter SP1 32 bit, av Security Essentials), used mainly for browsing, chat and Skype. Following the july updates, the OS began greeting me with blue screen at every start. I choosed "Startup repair", and after some 20 minutes and one restart, the OS was up and running. The next restart, the same scenario. Every time I ran "Startup repair", sometimes 3 or 4 times to get the system working.
    I did a System Restore, but no luck. Still the same blue screen at startup. I ran Check Disc at startup from Command Prompt with /F and /R switches, no errors found. After four days, Startup Repair was unable to solve the blue screen even if I spent almost 4 hours restarting and either choosing Startup Repair or do System Restore.
    I went to Restore Factory Settings OS from the recovery partition. I wanted to keep My Documents folder, I changed the location to the second partition). Imagex gave an error at 70% applying the image (a .ttc file that cannot be copied), and after reboot BOOTMGR was missing. I used the usb recovery stick made shortly after I bought the netbook using Toshiba Recovery media creator, wich wiped clean the HDD (eventually lost my files, that's it), re-partitioned and copied the .swm files in the HDDRecovery folder. When applying the image to C: partition, Imagex also gave an error at 70%, the same ttc file.
    I installed a clean copy of Starter, installed SP1 and updates and activated online using the serial number from the COA sticker. At first the newly installed OS was incredibly fast (I have only the drivers and Flash Cards installed, no other application from Toshiba), but after the SP1 update the boot time trippled. From my previous experiences with Windows XP, a slipstreamed SP installation of Windows behaves better than one updated with windows update. I'm thinking of a way to reinstall the Toshiba Windows, even full of bloatware as it is, then stop the programs I don't use trough msconfig and services.msc (just as I did in when I bought the netbook).

    Update:
    I installed WAIK and the supplement for SP1 of Windows 7.
    I got errors when saving the modified wim. I needed to change permissions and owner (Trusted Installer) in the Windows folder, and after copying the files restore old permissions. The modified wim was saved but at unmount left behind in exactly the folders I tangled with in Windows folder. The other modified folders were saved with no problems.
    So, I tried a modified metod 1:
    Downloaded 7-zip portable, expanded and ran once in a folder on the second partition (D:) of the HDD.
    Created an USB bootable stick with WinRE image found in the HDDRecovery tools.
    Booted from USB, started 7-Zip from command prompt. Opened the SWM file and copied all the files in the second folder to the C: partition. Using 7-Zip as a file manager, I replaced the corrupted files with their good variants stored also on the second partition. This time no problems, all files copied ok, no need to change permissions.
    Rebooted from HDD, BOOTMGR missing. Booted from USB, the instalation was found and repaired (in two stages). After another reboot from HDD, I was greeted with the "Preparing your computer for the first use". The factory installation took more than 2.5 hours (installation of drivers in the sysprep phase was very slow), instead of a half hour for a clean installation. At the end of sysprep (just before OOBE phase), after reboot BOOTMGR missing, resolved again as indicated earlier.
    It took another 3 hours to uninstall bundled Nero, McAfee and Windows Live +applying updates and installing usual programs.
    Hope this will help someone in the same situation.

    Bogdan
