Slideshow exported as MP4 file not recognised

Any idea what could be the issue with this?
I have tried a few times to play slideshow files exported as movies from LR3 (last year from the Beta, and recently, from my release copy) without any success.
The files aren't recognised as MP4s on my workstation, and although they are on my old (xp) machine, I can't play them in win media player (or anything else).
Any advice?

My guess would be that the device is shooting with an unstable frame rate. Not uncommon in cameras. Long shots will probably show sync drift over time after import, which is again not uncommon, especially with devices that shoot heavily comppresed video and audio formats.

  • Are .mp4 files not supported when trying to merge 2 videos into 1 video?

    Are .mp4 files not supported when trying to merge 2 videos into 1 video? The steps in the manual seem simple enough.  But the paste function won't work on the 1st video after selecting all and then copy on the 2nd video.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • Macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.?

    I have burnt audio cds using external burner(itunes 8).They are on the cd as it plays in the mac but will not play on our cd player.Iread something online about macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioInterchange_FileFormat
    any help please

    Several possible issues.
    1) Did you burn the CD as an audio format CD or did you just burn AIFF files to a CD as a data CD? CD players require an audio format CD, not just AIFF files burned to a CD as AIFF files.
    2) Older CD players can have problems reading burned CDs. Sometimes using a different brand CD, a longer burn time (slower burn speed) can help, but sometimes you just have to buy a newer player. CD-RW can present big problems unless it is specified as supported.

  • Exporting to .mp4 file using QuickTime Pro

    Rather than use the Movie to iPod preset in QuickTime pro, I would like to export an .avi file to a .mp4 file using Movie to MPEG-4. I would like the resulting file to be encoded using h.264 video and to be 640 X 480. I want one file that I can include as an enclosure in the rss feed for my podcast that can be downloaded and played in both iTunes and on an iPod. So far, I have been able to create a .mp4 file that plays in iTunes/QuickTime but not on an iPod.
    Would someone with experience in this please tell me which settings to use in the MPEG-4 export settings dialogue so that I get a file that can be played on the iPod.
    The options are:
    File Format (I chose mp4)
    dropdown (I chose video)
    Video Format (I chose H.264)
    Data Rate (I know it's important that this not be too high but don't know what to put.)
    Optimize For (download is the only choice for this option)
    Image Size (I chose 640X480 VGA)
    Preserve Aspect Ratio checkbox (My original video is 720X480. I don't think I should check this. I want to change the pixel aspect ratio to square pixels.)
    using dropdown box (Letterbox, crop, fit within size) (only active when Preserve Aspect ratio is checked)
    Framerate (I chose 29.97, which is the frame rate on the original .avi file)
    Keyframe ( I set this to every 15 frames)

    Thanks. I was aware of that information. But still am stuck on using QuickTime Pro to come up with a usable .mp4 file for the iPod. I think I am using the right settings, but it's still not working. That's why I included a lot of detail about the specific options in my question. Hopefully, there's someone out there who has used QuickTime Pro for this.

  • Why do .mp4 files not show up in the Finder/work in iDVD?

    Hi
    I downloaded some .mp4 files from the internet on my Windows PC and as per usual they are played by quicktime on my PC.
    When I saved them to my external HDD and plugged it into my MBP, the folder containing the mp4 files does not appear, and neither will they import into iDVD where I am trying to burn them.
    I am a new MBP user (and a happy one so far) so I am well aware I coukd be missing something here, but I thought that .mp4 was practically guaranteed to play on a Mac especially given the relationship to video iPods?
    Thanks in advance for your contributions!
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks, but after installing this nothing seems to have changed except that if I download the .mp4 files from my Mac they appear on the Desktop. They can be played with Quicktime but if they are played in VLC there is no sound
    The folder on my external HDD which contains the .mp4 files still does not ahow up.
    I am now very confused!
    Does anyone have more ideas, I'll try whatever!
    Thanks

  • Local video file (.mp4) file not play in MAC OS using netstream (NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound)

    I have developed adobe air application using adobe flash builder 4.6 for Windows and Mac OS. Application allow user to download movie (.mp4) file in his system at specific location for play  without live streaming. File downloading correctly in both OS and also file playing from download location in Window application correctly. but when start playing file Mac OS application not start playing.
    When start playing in mac OS, NetStatusEvent.Net_Status event return "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" event info code. I have found one solution for mac OS is use colon notation instead of slash notation. I have tried it but it also not working.
    Code:
    _nc = new NetConnection();
    _nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.Net_Status, connectionHandler);
    _nc.connect(null);
    private function connectionHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
         trace("Connection to server: " + event.info.code);
         /// Get "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" code in mac OS.    
    slash notation path: /Users/mayur/Downloads/myvideo.mp4
    Colon notation path: I have tried following colon notation path
    1) :Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4
    2) Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4
    3) Macintosh HD:Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4 (Macintosh HD - Drive name)
    Please help me to solve this issue.

    Finally I found a solution...
    The problem is that AIR on Android stores the application data in the protected directory /data/... which is not accessible by StageWebView (or any browser app).
    So you have to copy the video file you want to play to a temporary pubic directory on the sd-card for example and use this in StageWebView.
    You also have to create a temporary html-page with the video-tag and load this page in StageWebView (not the string) because external resources are only loaded in StageWebView when using an URL.
    On iOS the application storage directory is readable for StageWebView so you don't have to do this step.
    Hope this helps

  • 10.4  Update files not recognised

    Using 10.4 on a second hand Powermac g4 from ebay, so no installation discs.
    Successfully downloaded standalone updates 10.4.1....10.4.9 etc but first one (MacOSXUpdate10.4.1.dmg) not recognised so won't install. others recognised but won't work until first one installed.
    Same with standalone combo update (MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10) it isn't recognised. Using AOL dial up so it's taken seven attempts (overnight) to get a continuous connection for the complete Combo download. (Same with Software Updates Combo from Apple menu on desktop)
    How do I get the right file which will be recognised ? or should I buy a full retail version of Tiger from ebay ? I'm concerned about all the probs people are having with updates as I am miles away from Apple Store for repairs and am a newbie. Many thanks for any replies.

    Welcome To  Discussions frenchbingo!
    Which version of OS X is currently installed on the Power Mac G4?
    If it is not Tiger 10.4.x, then as sig posted, you will have to purchase a set of install discs.
    Exactly which model PowerMac G4 is it?
    What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
    If it is this model Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics), it had OS 8.6 or OS 9.0 installed, when manufactured in 1999.
    Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
    Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.10 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
    Leopard 10.5.x, can be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Leopard System Requirements
    Jaguar 10.2.x, Panther 10.3.x, and Tiger 10.4.x, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, will be the most up to date OS.
    But, if you know what to look for, Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
    The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

    Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
    If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
    This Power Mac G4 Firmware Update 4.2.8 appears to be the one you would need to install.
    Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
    or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
    If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    Jaguar System Requirements
    -Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
    -128MB of physical RAM
    -Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
    -QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
    -DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
    Review these Apple documents for Panther System Requirements
    And Additional Panther System Requirements.
    Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

  • Can I export an .mp4 file created by Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to tape using alternative software?

    I am editng with Premiere Pro CS4 on a Windows XP system.  I attempt to disable all startup and background software .  When i export a one hour completed project to tape, I invariably get at least one glitch (momentary stop) on the resulting tape. Is there an alternate program I can use to export to tape an .mp4 file created by CS4?

    Could be wrong, but as far as I know the only way to "export" to tape is to PLAY the timeline while the camera is connected via Firewire and in record mode

  • PSE11 Export of RAW files not sharp

    I am using PS Elements 11 with raw converter 7.3, processing .DNG files from a Samsung GX-10 on a PC.
    I notice that, despite sharpening the image in the raw converter, that the preview (F11) in the organiser is not sharp. This is somewhat annoying.
    However, even more annoying is the fact that the blurriness continues if I export the DNG from the organiser to a new JPEG, even if I set the quality at Maximum (12). The export and preview seem to be ignoring the sharpness I have set in the raw converter.
    If I open the .DNG in the editor and then save the file as a JPEG straight away, all my sharpening remains intact, and the final JPEG is fine.
    I have tried using setting the 'process' in the raw converter to '2010', and also tried setting the JPEG preview size to 'Full Size' in the RAW converter save options. Neither of these seems to make any difference.
    For my normal workflow I edit the .DNG files using the raw converter, using the PSE editor only when necessary. I then use the organiser to export the .DNG files to JPEGs for printing, emailing or whatever. This workflow does not give me the results I expect any more.
    It looks like I am going to have to open every processed RAW image in the editor and then save the files as JPEGs individually. Also the organiser preview does not give me an accurate preview of the quality of the processed file.
    Has anyone else observed this, or have any suggestions for a cure or a revised workflow?
    Bill.

    Jon,
    Thanks for the response and the tips, but I am happy with the sharpening I am applying in camera raw itself, but the problem occurs when I click the 'Done' button to save the results to the organiser, and then subsequently export to a jpeg.
    For an example, this is how an oversharpened test shot appears on the screen in ACR 7.3 at 100% zoom with sharpening set to 150 (via print screen)...
    Click Done and then export from the organiser (max quality) and this is the blurry result that appears:
    This is also the sort of view I get in the organiser preview (F11) even at 100%.
    If instead of clicking Done in ACR, I click Open Image and then save the image as a JPEG, this is what I get:
    This latter image is what I would be expecting. (Of course I wouldn't normally sharpen my images like that!) In fact the exported raw images are much softer than the JPEGs that come straight out of the camera.
    Maybe I am doing something wrong, and I am quite happy to be corrected, but I have been sharpening my images with ACR in PSE10 quite happily for a year or more. Its only since PSE11 and ACR 7.3 that I have noticed this issue.
    Regards,
    Bill

  • MP4 files not playing in Quicktime 7.3

    Lately, I have been getting the following error when I try to play MP4 files in quicktime on my Mac:
    "The movie could not be opened. Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -50.)"
    This error also prevents me from adding the files to iTunes. The weird thing is that they play fine on a PC.
    I have tried updating my Quicktime (I am running Leopard), and that did nothing.
    Any ideas?

    How can I tell that. I have several. I am also unable to view them in the finder window like I can other .m4v or .mov files.

  • Sharing of mp4 files not allowed

    Just wondering, if in the near future Adobe CC will allow to share mp4 files, currently our clients ask for the h264 format all the time.
    Is there a reazon why the mp4 format is not working with CC?

    The official (idiotic) explanation is that video files are frequently used for piracy and Adobe is afraid subscribers to CC will use it to share copyrighted material without permission.

  • Export to .mp4 extension, not .mov

    Hi, I am new to PE9 and am trying to save a video to .mp4. I have tried going to Share>Computer>Quicktime and then changing the codec to both H.264 and MPEG-4 codecs, but each time I save it the file extension ends in .mov, not .mp4. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong or am I asking PE9 to do something it can't do? Or am I supposed to convert .mov file to .mp4?
    Thanks for the help

    Steve than you so much for your answer! (As I said in another post, I'm buying your book!)
    I think I've stumbled upon good camera settings to go with Pre9 in most cases. I'd used the extension switch just for a setting that allowed 640x480 and "decent" but certainly not boradcast quality. I'll move away from that old 4X3 setting to the 740X??? (can't think of it right now,) And I'll keep tweaking .mov settings rather than using the mp4 output.
    It's frustrating that most producers and talent agencies insist on only .mov files! I think the 15meg limit they mostly insist on is a limitation as to their emails back and forth with producers more than anything else. Some are using YouSendIt for files, but still want it under 15megs. (Sigh)
    I'm only using Pre9 to go from avchd through editing and output to either mp4 or .mov and sent a test to another pc.
    The mp4 file in the sheep's clothing of .mov played fine, but I hear ya as to it being a potential problem depending on what others use to playback the file.
    Thanks again, I'm sure I'll learn tons from ya sir!

  • Canon cr2 files not recognised in LR4.1

    I have Lightroom 4.1 running on a MacBook Air with 10.8.1 OS
    It is not recognising the files from my Canon 7D with v 2.00 firmware
    The files are recognised however in Bridge v 6
    Any solutions?

    What is your general work flow? Are you pulling the files directly from the camera? I was having an issue with my new 7D last night where Lightroom insists that it doesn't know what to do with the cr2 files when I was attempting to import them from the camera (Something it happily does with my T3 and has for ages)
    However, if I manually dragged the RAW files to their holding directory on the drive myself, and then imported them to Lightroom, everything was just fine.

  • Canon G7X camera raw files not recognised in Aperture?

    I use Aperture 3.5 extensively and have updated to, I think, 6.07 which is the latest update pack but the RAW files are still not recognised in Aperture. Am I doing something wrong or any idea when aperture will be updated for this relatively new camera. Many thanks

    The list of cameras that are supported by Aperture is here:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Your camera is not yet on the list, sorry. You'll have to wait for the RAW support to be released. You amy want to use your camera's software to develop the RAW files and to convert them to another lossless format.

  • Images files not recognised from Canon 5D Mark III

    iPhoto will not recognise any files from my Canon 5D Mark III. I have tried everything - updated all software, purchased the newest version of iPhoto, formatted the memory card, used a different cable, tried a different memory card. Tha battery is also fine
    I really have no idea what is going on. I have just upgraded from a Canon 5D Mark II and I never had any problems before.
    Any ideas?

    Is the memory card recognized if connected to the Mac with a card reader, built-in or external?
