Sampling or Copying I get error "what type of file is this?"

How can I sample .m4a files from itunes? Logic acts as if it does not recognize the file the first time then the second time it will ask me "what kind of file is this?". I've tried shortening the file name, converting the file in quicktime pro but it won't let me save the file under a different name. It's as if Logic Pro 7 has a mind of its own certain songs I just drag on to the arrange window and it copies fine others it does nothing please someone help me.

these are copy protected files .m4a - i'm pretty sure.
otherwise try changing the extension to a recognized format ie .mp3.
or, open it in quictime and get info, it shoud tell you what type of file it is. then put the appropriate extension on the end

  • What type of file is this ... ?

    All,
    This may have been asked and answered before, I just couldn't seem to find the right thread with my own forum queries.
    Is there a mac utility out there that will analyze a media file (.avi, etc.) and let me know exactly what the audio and video codecs were used to create the file? For example, if I try to open an .avi file with Quicktime, sometimes it will work, other times QT complains that it can't read the format, other times it will play the video and not the audio, et al.
    I know that such utilities exist for Windows (Gspot - http://www.warp2search.net/contentteller/newsstory/gspot_25_beta_8_build040728.html) but haven't seen one for Mac yet.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers

    If the file opens in QuickTime Player you can use the Movie Inspector window to read the codecs.

    Hello,
    I was looking at my collection and I see some movies/videos with the extention "Quicktime movie file" what type of file is this?
    My guess is that it is H.624 but please confirm that.
    Thanks

    i got the solution. its working now
    but blowfish key ranges from 56 to448
    while i am writing the code as
    KeyGenerator keyGenerator = KeyGenerator.getInstance("Blowfish");
    keyGenerator.init(448);
    this code is generating the key upto 448 bits
    but coming to encoding or decode section key length is not accepting
    cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);

    Hi,
    For date column you should maintain YYYYMMDD formate Eg: 20090601, kepp cursor on date column and right click and Formate >Custome>make it 00000000 then save teh file as .CSV . First type values on column and do like this formate and save it and without opening it load it. Once you open it you losw 00000000 formate you need to give again the same formate.
    Settings in Infopackage:
    Data Format  = CSV
    Data Separator = ,
    Escape Sign = ;

  • What Type Of File?

    I have defeated the format monster. The format monster being that Adobe Premiere Elements 10 will not support two videos at once or DSLR hardly at all. I defeated it by downloading a software which lets me convert videos into particular files. So, I need to know what type of file is best supported and convenienty used in APE 10. Can anyone tell me?

    The easiest thing to do would be to convert the Canon video to AVCHD. Then you can load both AVCHD videos into one project. But this will only work if you shot your Sony footage in FH or HQ 1920x1080 mode and you shot your Canon video at 1920x1080.
    1) Open a new Premiere Elements project. Make sure it's set up for DSLR 1920x1080p30.
    2) Plug your Canon camera into your computer via USB and use Get Media/From Flip, AVCHD or Hard Disk camcorder to open the Video Importer and import the files from the camera to your video project.
    3) Put the video on your timeline and use Share/Computer/AVCHD with the preset for M2T 1920x1080 30 fps to output your movie as an M2T file.
    4) Open a new project set up for Full AVCHD 1920x1080 with 5.1 audio (since your Sony shoots in 5.1).
    5) Use Get Media to bring in your Sony footage and the M2T files you created above and start editing.
    Or get version 11. In which you can just load it all at once and just edit!

  • "What kind of file is this" Loop Browser error

    Hi there,
    I just re-installed Logic after doing an erase & install of my system. Seems okay so far, except that when I open the Loop Browser and click on a loop to hear it, I get the error message:
    "Club Dance Beat 002 [or whatever the loop name is].caf" - what kind of file is this?
    And then there's an 'Abort' button, but no other options. The file won't preview, nor will it drop into my Arrange window when I try to drag it over. This happens with both green & blue (midi & audio) loops in the browser.
    Odd. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Sorry so long to respond to this. Apparently my 'Subscribe to this Topic' notification thing isn't working, and I didn't realize there had been any responses....
    I've re-installed from the Logic content disc, but still no change. From the other discussions I've read, it looks like most folks encountered this when they installed GB08 AFTER Logic was already on their system. After I did my erase & install, I installed iLife 08 BEFORE I installed Logic Pro. Would that be causing this weirdness?
    Odder still is that the ONLY loops I'm finding on my computer are the GB08 Loops (and iLife sound effects), but then maybe I'm not looking in the right place for the Logic loops? Further, in my GB08 loops folder, there seem to be .caf and.aiff versions of each loop, but no matter what I try to use in Logic's Loop Browser, I get the same error about the caf file....
    Perplexed.

  • What is the next step after editing or triming a video ? What type of file format to save and what to do after that ?

    what is the next step after editing or triming a video?
    what type of file format should be save and what to do after that?

    In the early days of digital video editing, an export render could take hours!  Not many applications are as hard on system resources as video editing, and rendering the final edit is probably the most system intense action of all.  
    Head on over to the Premiere Pro Hardware forum to see what sort of computer hardware the pros use for NLE (non linear editing), or to the PPBM5 site for a better look.

    You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
    You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC.

    Hi Tbeirne,
    If you just want to save a pdf opened in Safari to your machine use the save as option from within the Reader plugin window. Just click on any of the buttons highlighted in below screenshots to Save a pdf at any location on your machine.
    or
    To summarize the issue, if you had opened an Internet PDF in a browser plug-in, you must use the save feature in the plug-in, not the Safari File > PDF Export, or File > Save As...
    Please let us know if this solution works for you and you are able to save and view PDFs files locally.
