Strange "av.mov" files now appearing on every export

Something odd just started happening.. when I export a FCE movie (File>Export>QuickTimeMovie), I now get these strange files (FileName-av.mov, FileName-av.mov1, etc.).
This has never happened before and I can find nothing anywhere about these weird files. I did throw them away and tried to use Sorenson Squeeze and it would not compress the file without those additional files. Once I pulled them out of the trash, Squeeze worked fine!
What are these files? Where did they come from? How do I get my settings back to the way it was!
Thank you in advance!

My hard drive is formatted correctly... I've been using the same one for 2 years and it's fine. The settings are also correct as suggested.
One other thing I've noticed.... the "render" line on the timeline is yellow, which I've also never seen, but nothing I can do can make that go away... maybe that has something to do with it?

I can't open attachments on my iPad 2. I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update. I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

All Realtime Media Files now appear as Macromedia Flash files.

Help sought for a friend...who can no longer access the majority of his years worth of accumulated media files and i'm stumped -
For no known reason, upon restart of a MacBook running 10.4, every single media file that was originally Realtime Player format,
now appears as a "Macromedia Flash (.flv) file. None opens upon icon click.
There was no installation (at least none that my friend initiated) of any new software that would explain the 'conversion.' Meanwhile,
the immediate objective is to restore all of the original-formatting. It appears that only these RealTime files were affected .
Any idea on what can be done to rectify this? As I understand it the Flash app version - is 7. version 10 was uninstalled in
an effort to see if the files would be recognized as Real Player files once again after uninstall and restart.
All YouTube or other downloaded files that were in RealPlayer format are now identified as .flvs, and upon attempting startup of
Real Player for some reason that App crashes and will no longer open.
Ideas?
Thanks alot,

maybe you already tried this,
but what happens if you select one of the files in the finder,
do  + I
and in the "open with" section, you pick the application you normally want to use for these files
and click "modify all" just underneath

Old mac audio files now appear as executable unix files

a long time mac user, back in 95 & 96 i had a PB165 that allowed me to record some of my daughters first words as she spoke into the computer. long ago i saved them to floppy disks. i got an external floppy drive with a usb port and was all ready to transfer these files and create a cd of these sounds but they now appear as "Executable Unix files". First i blindly tried to open one of them using iTunes but there was no luck there. Then i searched this site on how to open "executable unix files" and got some information about using Terminal. Have never used Terminal before and tried to follow the directions but had no luck.
I've probably missed something easy, but have spent a bit of time trying to do this without any luck. So am humbly asking for help as I try to retrieve these nuggets of sounds that can not be reproduced.
thanks,
david

Just adding an extension won't change what is in the file. If you know what the file is (.wav, .aif, etc), then adding the appropriate extension will help the system figure out what to open them as.
Do the files have any extensions now? If iTunes can't open them they may be in an old format, such as a System 7 sound. In that case, you might give PlaySound a try.
Edit: Other converter applications for those old sound files are SystemSound (free) and File Juicer (not free).

Mov files not appearing in m2v

Hi.
I encoded a 10min video via compressor for a client. It took 2hrs to compress which was the first sign that something was wrong. Once brought into DVDSP, I noticed that the .mov file of the opening & closing animation was not there - just black w/ audio.
Any ideas? I have to redo the clients DVD on Monday & I'm hoping I'll know how to fix this problem. I was working of the client's FCP 5.0.
Thanks in advance!

QT Pro - .mov files - can't copy/paste/export - opens browser

On a couple .mov files, when I open them, my browser opens also. As for the .mov files, I can't copy, paste, export etc.
Can anyone explain this, and is there a way to resolve the browser and other issues?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

thanks Terence,
So I went into Iphoto, selected the Trimmed Movie and selected. PHOTOS, revert to Original.
Now I can COPY and PASTE the MOVIE from Iphoto to a normal Folder.
I then opened the original .mov file in Quicktime and trim the movie. I then go to close and save
"The Operation could not be completed, an unknown error occured"

Slow playback on Roku2 of MOV file after Adobe Premier Element Export

I have video files from a flash camcorder that encodes as MOV files. This plays back fine on Roku2 using Roksbox and also on Real Player.
When I export a video file from Adobe Premiere Elements 4 the playback through Roksbox to Roku2 is horribly slow, with no audio. The exported file from Adobe Premiere Elements plays fine on Real Player.
I have tried a host of different setting in Adobe (H264 and MPEG4 encoders, frame size, max bit rate) all to no avail. Perhaps I am missing a critical setting. I think the problem is somewhere in Adobe Premiere because I have been successful in using Full Video Converter Free 9 program to produce MPG4 files and they have played back fine through Roksbox and Roku2.
Any suggestions very appreciated.
Bobby

To find the codec details, use the programs below
For PC
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
For Mac
http://mediainfo.massanti.com/
It would SEEM that your output file has "something" that does not match the file that works... so use the above to find out the details of the file that works, and set your PreEl output to match

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 cant export mov files to QT h.264: export failure

Hello,
I edited my project in Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and want to color correct it in Davinci Resolve Lite. I tried to export my mov files (shot on 60 D 1920x1080 25 fps) to QT h.264, so I can import them in Davinci. I have the same Problem when I want to export to uncompressed YUF 8bit.
The pc says something like: Failure during creating the file. Cant open or create the export file.
Is it a problem of the progamm? Is it impossible to export it in that codec ? Should I use another export codec ?

Hello,
Sry I didnt find any Premiere Elements in my selection, next time I post it directly here.
Im using a windows hp 7 64 bit, Adobe premiere elements 10, last version of Quick time and running an account with admin privilegs. I also opened the programm with admin power, just to see if anything happens, but still the same.
My camera films in 1920 x 1080 25p, so I guess its proogressive. For the audio I dont care if its 5.1 or mono, because my microphone is a mono microphone.
I made some pictures of my settings, sry all in german:

Already watched a movie but now it downloads EVERY TIME I CONNECT TO ITUNES

Driving me up a wall -- every time I connect to iTunes, it tries to download old purchases to my computer. Immediately and without warning. I watched these purchases years ago and never want to download them again. I just want them in my iTunes account for downloading or watching on Apple TV if I ever feel like it, but don't need them on my computer or device. How do I tell iTunes to stop doing this? Every time I connect, it starts downloading them and I go and delete all the downloads right when they start, but it happens every time.
Note: it may be that I never fully downloaded the videos to my computer. Because I watched them on Apple TV or something. But still, I don't ever want to download them. How can I stop this? It's a huge problem downloading anything on my laptop because it's old -- I rarely use my laptop and the only thing I ever used iTunes for is backup old media that was imported from CDs, etc.

The 3G stops at iOS 4.2.1 does not support abve that level .
Nothing you can do

Song info now appears between every song

Every time a song changes, a window opens up on my screen giving me the title, artist, etc... and then fades away after about three seconds. This just started today for no reason I can figure out.
Can anyone tell me how to stop this from happening?

iTunes doesn't do this, so you must have some other software, such as Growl, Synergy, or some other iTunes-related application, installed. Locate and remove it or change it's settings so that the info isn't displayed.

How do I get mp3 files to appear with album cover thumbnails?

how do I get mp3 files to appear with album cover thumbnails? when I updated my ITunes now all my mp3 files
that had thumbs have no thumbs...thanks

First, you have to embbed picture into mp3 file with idtag editors (tagalicious, musicbrainz picard, mp3tag, id3tag editor...).
Then you'll have to install at least Itunes 10.5.1(42), even if you're not using Itunes at all.
Albumarts will now appear in every folder from the finder.

Is it the same for you ?

Converting MOV Files for import results in loss of sound

I have some .mov files which will not directly import into iMovie 08. I believe this is because they were created using "save as..." from QT Pro, with an original file format of .mpg w/muxed audio.
I am now converting the .mov files using the "export..."comand from QT Pro. iMovie is recognising the results, weather it is .DV Stream, .Mp4, or even a true .mov file. The problem, every time I convert from the original .mov I loose the clips audio. Is this a side effect of converting a vid clip with muxed audio or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats. Don't use it.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can export to QuickTime formats with the audio. Use it.

How to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor?

I'm trying to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor but every time I submit it, it fails due to error code -50. It worked two hours ago (albeit, very slowly) with another .flv file but now it refuses to even try. Please help!

Sorry you're having problems, but it's not surprising. The error code is invalid media.
The easy way is to forget about Compressor and upload the Flash file directly to You Tube with their uploader.
You'll also save a generation of compression loss.
Good luck.

How to get movie files on my iPad with out a computer

Can you please let me know if there is any way that I can put my movie files onto my iPad 2 with out having a lap top or a computer with me when I head order sea's. Please email the response to my [email protected] address. I am trying to find a way that I can add my movie files onto my iPad when I do not have access to a computer but I have access to the Internet.
THanks
Dave

Where are these movie files now? You can't copy DVD's directly onto it, so you'll need some kind of computer to access them to get them on the iPad.
If you can get them into a cloud storage app such as Dropbox, you can then view them on your iPad.

No sound on .mov files - why?

I've just got a MacPro running 10.4.11. If I download a .mov file it appears to play perfectly but with no sound. I have Quicktime 7.5 installed. What can I do about this?
Thanks,
Alex

Sorry, my bad - you already mentioned that it is H.264, about which more here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/h264/faq.html
As you can see these should play in Quicktime 7.5.5 which you presumably have?
As for the missing audio:
Your audio settings may have been changed.
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
