Renamed video file corrupted

I renamed a Camera Roll video file in Windows 8 File Explorer while my Lumia 1020 was connected to my PC. The renaming seems to have removed metadata so that the video will no longer play on my phone. In File Explorer it shows a time length of 00:00:00 but the file size is still greater than 1GB.
Is there any way to recover from this mistake?
Thanks,
Linden

will it play on your PC by any chance still?

  • IPhoto won't play videos (with QT7), after renaming video files in Finder

    Hi folks,
    My iPhoto9 played video files with Quick time when double clicking the video files in iPhoto. Yesterday I renamed approx 50 video files in Finder (double clicked and renamed them). Now iPhoto won't play them when double clickling. The only way to play them is to a) drag/drop to vlc or b) double click them in Finder.
    How can I tell iPhoto to play the video files (interesting fact: the meta data still shows the video old file names)?
    Can anyone help me? Thanks!!!!
    Thanks

    I have not changed default seetings, so I assume I'm running Managed libary.
    The yes, that's the case. So, to do this you had to access the Package File and then rename the files. Wasn't the fact that the files are not directly accessible a hint?
    I tried overwriting iLife09 (without deleting the version that was on -> it didn't help!!)
    Nor would it. That might restore the applications (though without removing the receipts it won't be very effective) but the problem isn't the Applications. The problem is that you have corrupted the Library.
    What if I delete iLife and reinstall it. Will iPhoto then be able to play the videos (that I previously renamed with Finder)?
    No. Because, again, it will not undo what you did in the Library folder.
    As you have no back up, you no have exactly one option: Create a new Library and start over from scratch, importing the originals from the Library you trashed.

  • Renaming Video Files with Adobe Premire

    I am running Adobe Premiere  Pro CS4.
    I have 4 16GB cards full of Raw Data that I have been playing around with to get the hang of editing, thats going well but now I'd like to store my RAW video files (the ones I plan to keep for later) on my storage drive and back up drives. I want to rename all my video files from the standard 00001.MTS that my camera stores them as. The only thumbnail I have to go by in Adobe Bridge is the grey EN symbol. The only way it seems I can see a preview of the file to figure out what 00004.MTS contain to rename it is to open it in Premiere, however when I rename it in the project pannel it is just a program specific rename and does not actually rename it on my hard drive.
    What is the best method for seeing what is on a file and renaming it. I thought Bridge would be useful for this, but I can't seem to get a video preview or a thumb nail to go off of.

    Stuart,
    That would be an excellent feature request.  Right now, what you describe is true to the best of my knowledge.  Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

  • RAW Video & File Corruption

    I am a photographer and filmmaker having serious corruptions issue with RAW photo and video files on Areca RAID arrays. RAW files (.CR2, .NEF, .DNG, etc...) are particularly affected but DSLR .MOV and Cinema DNG files are being corrupted as well.
    This is happening on two systems that are identical except for the Areca controllers and drives (ARC-1880, & ARC-1882) and different drives. Originally these arrays were both RAID-3 but I converted on to RAID5 to see if the problem was corrected. The issue still persists.
    I've contacted Areca for support but have not received a response.
    Any advice or help would be deeply appreciated. See system specs below:
    See these images for examples:

    Tony,
    I do have another theory, but before I begin, I'll say Eric Bowen from ADK is an absolute uber-tech and he knows a LOT more than I ever will .
    Here goes...
    What you are seeing is absolutely bizarre!
    Areca cards are awesome, but their support is not that great. You might want to pose this same question on the Areca's Owners Forum on hardforum.com. There are some really experienced Areca users that frequent that forum that may recognize this particular failure mode.
    Your firmware is pretty old; I updated all of my Areca's (1880 and 1882 series cards) to v1.52 a long time ago. I would suggest you do the same. Areca does not share all the "fixes" that they may do in firmware and in general newer is better.
    I read a long, long time ago about some subtle incompatibilities with some drives and Areca controller cards specifically dealing with SATA NCQ support. My number one guess, and hope for you, is that you have this turned on and that by turning it off you may resolve this crazy issue.
    Finally, I don't agree with Eric about only using non-Enterprise drives with Areca parity RAIDS. I've been violating that rule for too many years using WD and Hitachi drives to feel that is your only problem here. Before I ran Areca's with non-enterprise drives I did a lot of www research regarding users building 48 drive arrays using non-Enterprise drives and Areca controllers (for them Enterprise was way more expensive with that many drives in play). And personally, I've had probably a dozen Areca cards, used probably around 60 various drives in them over the years and never, never, ever lost any data. My use has been 100% RAID 5 (and some RAID 0) and while I have had varied hardware failures (5 bad drives - 3 were Enterprise and 2 were non-Enterprise), a bad RAM stick (Areca replaced on wtty. - never had any file errors at all, but the Areca error log showed about 6 events where memory ECC had to kick in to prevent a loss), a bad Areca CPU (totally cratered, but when then sent me a RMA card the drives picked right up and again, no data loss whatsoever).
    Yes, Enterprise drives are recommended, but Areca's newer firmware bios settings allow you to even disable TLER completely which can result is REALLY slow array performance but NO data loss under any circumstance.
    Best of luck! What you are dealing with sounds VERY frustrating!

  • Renaming .mov file corrupts data

    Recently I used Data Rescue 2 to recover my external HDD data after an accidental partition. The result was that Data Rescue 2 found all of the video files and marked them with a generic file name in a numbered sequence. Eg: QT0023.mov, QT0024.mov ect. These files play fine in Quicktime, and once imported to iTunes also play properly. The problem is, when I rename the files in iTunes to the proper titles, the file becomes unplayable in both iTunes and by Quicktime. Quicktime reports that the file is not a movie file, while iTunes gives no error.
    Anyone?

  • IPad video files corrupted - what do I do?

    I shot wedding video using the iPad camera, then tried to import the files directly into Adobe Premier.  Not only would they not import, but suddenly, the original files became corrupted on the iPad.  The MOV file icons are gray & will not play.  What happened?  What can I do?  I've taken the iPad to 2 different computer file recovery experts, and they are stumped!  Anyone else ever have anything like this happen? 

    Camera Roll is pretty fundamental to the iPad.  You should be able to find the Camera Roll album in the Photos app.  That's where photos and videos get stored.
    From the iPad User Manual:
    UPDATE -- Oh, it just occurred to me that maybe you have an original iPad (without a camera)!  That would explain why you don't have a Camera Roll.  It would also mean you did not take the videos using the iPad.  In that case, you're probably stuck.

  • An error occured while transferring files, now all of my photos/videos are corrupted

    Ok, so this is a strange situation, so bear with me. I was transferring some files from my iphone to my harddrive yesterday. And then I got an error message saying that some of the files didnt transfer for whatever reason. I didn't think much of it, cause these were older files anyway. But then I looked, and all of my more recent files (everything from December 23-Now) got corrupt. This is strange, because the files that I was transferring were from before December 23, so they weren't overlapping at all.
    Anyway, I don't even know where to begin, because I really don't know what this is. Here's a picture of what I'm dealing with.
    As you can probably tell, something weird is happening, since I do not have 4 million photos. (But I do have 286 videos). When I try to play a video, it says "the requested URL was not found on this server".
    When I connect this to image capture, it shows the files as such:
    So some of the information is still there, which is strange. I've also tried backing up from the backup that I made right before this error occured, and it appears that the files are corrupt within the backup too. So I have corrupt files on my phone, as well as corrupt files on my computer. I went to my MobileSync folder and found the backup, and tried changing some of the files to .mov files, and this allowed some of them to turn into video files, but they appear to be corrupt.
    So basically, what are my best options? Is there any way I can salvage these videos? Is there an app that can export these videos, and then repair them? I'm pretty much really lost here, and going to the genius bar was no help.

  • HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

    Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

  • ITunes corrupting video files on metadata changes

    I have some video tutorials that I've been attempting to add to my iTunes library so I can watch them on my iPhone and appleTV.
    The videos copy into my library successfully. They play fine on my mac / phone / aTV as long as I don't change any metadata.
    But as soon as I try and change some metadata...
    Well, things are getting weird.
    Sometimes I've been able to change the metadata on the file without any issue. However, most of the time, I make a change (album art, title, album name) that results in a pinwheel. The program seems to hang for a bit but then makes the change. Everything looks fine and until you try and play the video which will no longer play. Not in iTunes. Not in the finder. Nothing. Even opening the file in iTunes causes the program to crash.
    I'm a little confused, as I've been able to add videos before and make changes to every bit of metadata that my heart desired with no issues.
    I'm even more confused that the problem is intermittent and while this problem happens 90% of the time, it miraculously doesn't when I try to show / explain what's happening.
    It seems to me that there's most likely something wrong on my end within my iTunes library, but I'm not shure where/how to start troubleshooting.
    Anyone with any ideas or advice, your comments and suggestions are valued and appreciated. 
    Thanks,
    Ian
    ps. I'm running the most current build of Lion and iTunes.

    Hi all,
    same problem here, but in a windows (shame on me...) network:
    * Two PCs w/ Win 7 64-bit
    * iTunes 10.7.x
    * iTunes library on a D-LINK DNS-320 (firmware: 2.02.x)
    After editing metadata of video files (adding art, changing title OR adding some details like year) the file is corrupt and will no longer play: not in iTunes, not in Quicktime, neither VLC nor MPC or any other Windows video software.
    This happens always(!), it doesn't matter what PC I use to edit the metadata. Doesn't matter, which video encoder (Freemake, Aisee, even Quicktime and it's ATV-profile) I use. The original video input format doesn't matter.
    Downgrading the D-Link firmware to 1.9 and/or iTunes to 10.6 doesn't give a result.
    Today even some mp3 got corrupted after adding cover art. Therefore i can't believe the file size is the reason.
    Maybe this is a hint: In Windows Explorer (something like the finder on a mac) I can't change the owner nor the user rights of the (corrupted or not yet corrupted) file. Is there any problem known relating to iTunes read-write-ability and NAS user rights whr storing the iTunes library on an external HDD?
    What about the library size or the amount of media objects (130 movies, 500 TV Shows, 15000 mp3, ...)?
    Any ideas or solutions anyone?
    Or a good mp4-tagger (incl. cover option) for Windows?

  • Corrupt video files for iTunes

    This has been an ongoing problem that has gotten worse. I have several video files made from various sources (FCP X and Adobe Premiere) all formatted for an AppleTV with the .m4v extension on them. They work when I set them and add them to the iTunes library. Plays fine. Occasionally I will scroll through my library and see a generic gray film icon for the video. I click on it, nothing happens. It will not play. Selecting Show in Finder shows the file, which looks to be about the correct file size. The icon for the video file is a blank dog-eared document, which should not be. I can't preview it or load it into any video editing or compressor application.
    What is happening to my videos? Random corruption of these files is certainly not acceptable. And yes, I ran DiskUtility. It doesn't happen to all the self-made video files, just some here and there. Never has happened that I can see with any of the major videos I have downloaded from iTunes. Only the stuff I create and add to the library. Sooner or later, it will liekly happen to other video files.
    Any ideas as to what is going on?  Any thoughts on how to recover my videos aside from backups?

    Update: I tried loading in to every video application I have. Even MPEG StreamClip and it had to be forced to open the file. It did so, but at the very end jumpedout indicating it couldn't find any video or audio tracks.
    I have done nothing to these files other than let them sit on the drive. Every now and then one or two of them just reandomly corrupts. What's causing this?

  • Fixing corrupted video files

    Hello,
    So an unusual thing has happened to a project I have been working on in iMovie'11. I hope I can explain it properly, since the circumstances seems quite complex (to this layman at least).
    It began when I tried speeding up one of the clips I was using. When I applied this function, it corrupted the project: when spooling through the clips in the project editor, the corresponding video didn't appear in the screen to the right, so I couldn't edit it any more. So I undid the Change Speed edit, shut down iMovie and restarted it, hoping that I could pick up again from where I left off, without the final speed change edit. I have done this a number of times when this problem occurs, and it usually works.
    Unfortunately, this time, the project was still corrupted. In fact, all the projects I was working on, bar one, were corrupted, and I could no longer edit them. I couldn't even go into any of the projects, since the text in the button at the top left saying "Edit Project" was grey and didn't respond to clicks.
    Trying to salvage the project, I removed the New Event folder from the iMovie Event folder in Finder, and restarted iMovie. When it started, I was now able to enter my projects although of course, without any clips in the iMovie Event folder, I could only look at the individual thumbnail clips, and couldn't spool through them.
    I copied the clips from the project I was working on, created a new project and pasted them into that. Then I put the New Event folder back into the iMovie Event folder, and imported another clip. After I did this, I was actually able to work on the clips from my original project in the new project again. It seemed that the clips from my project were linking to the files in the iMovie Event folder, and the thumbnail files too. I thought I'd managed to save the project, but when I restarted iMovie the next day, the formerly working project was corrupted again.
    I know that the clips are there, organised and edited in the way I want them, but I think they are having trouble linking to their corresponding clips in the iMovie Event folder. In the event library in the bottom half, the bits of the clips I am using for this project are marked out in orange lines at the bottom of the thumbnails, as it would with a properly functioning project. So in a sense, the programme "knows" what clips I am using and where, but unless I can edit them properly in the project editor, I can't do anything with it, and certainly can't export it.
    I hope I've managed to explain this problem in a way that makes sense, and will be very grateful for your help.
    Thank you very much.

    I'm having the same problem!
    Help! I don't know how to fix it & have spent so much time on this. I just don't know
    what's wrong! It have many video clips in my project & had noticed that the viewer
    window wasn't playing the events but didn't worry about it. Added more clips to
    my project, photos, music & then POOF! One by one the videos in the project are
    corrupted! Tried re-importing directly into iMovie then reinserting into the project.
    That works but another video will corrupt. Also tried copying project & erasing the
    original. That didn't work!
    To try to fix this I tried erasing the plist file thing that some threads mention. It
    didn't work. All the events are iPhoto videos - does this have something to do with
    it?!
    I don't know what to do & have many, many videos to process. I went out & bought
    FCE (Final Cut Express) to try to continue w/o iMovie but even when I've learned FCE
    iMovie will still have things I want to use!
    Anyone out here have the solution?? Maybe I should re-install iMovie...

  • Getting a Rendering Error "No Video in File" and now corrupted video file

    I've been working with some video footage in Final Cut that I recorded directly to my hdd using adobe Onlocation. I used the chroma key filter on it and then added an animation clip from After Effects, in the form of a .mov file to my timeline. When trying to render my timeline I get the "no video in file error."
    I used the render manager and trashed all the render files, then I manually searched my hdd and trashed any other render files I could find. Still getting the same error message. Gave up and decided to start from scratch except that now my original video file that I recorded with Onlocation is corrupted and I can't preview it in Quicktime nor play it in Onlocation. It also imports into final cut as a white screen.
    This is the only copy of the file I have (I know, stupid me right?) so any help or suggestions would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanks so much for your suggestions, the File Salvage option from digital rebellion worked!! Good as new!! made a backup and going to attempt to complete my project, but any ideas on why adding the AE clip to the timeline caused the corruption of the video file in the first place?

  • ITunes is corrupting video files

    iTunes (7.2) have been corrupting some of my video files (mp4) and the video tracks are no longer available. I just can listen to the audio tracks.
    I opened the files in QT, and got the same result: no video, just sound.
    This just started to happen today. I haven't upgraded iTunes or installed anything, this is just bizarre. I've lost 5 movies so far. Files had been working for 6 months, and this never happened before.
    Funny thing is file dates appear as modified today, but I haven't "modified" anything, I was just watching some videos in an iTunes playlist and video began to fail.
