"unsupported format" message

Working in Aperture 2, I get intermittant blank screen and "unsupported format" error message when in edit view.  No problems in thumbnail view.  Only format used is CR2 (Canon RAW).  The only way to clear error is by exiting Aperture and re-starting.  Anyone else seen this / have a fix?

A Loud Cheer Is Heard From The Crowd!!!
OK, sucess with Vista Ultimate. Monday, I can check it out with XP, but I am predicting that will be a success as well.
Being brand new to the world of video and Premier, everything I do is an act of faith at this point. What I was reacting to with my previous comment was the fear that working with the files was not going to be a staright forward Import, Modify, Export Final Product path. I was afraid I'd have to make a detour to import into some intermediate format, then bring it into Premiere.
Glad that's not the case at all!
I will do my best to report sometime on Monday if XP is as straightforward as Vista. If Idon't have a problem, I will be real curious what caused the problem qim010 is reporting.
Regarding AVCHD . . .  are there different "flavors"? From my still photography background, I found that RAW is not the same across the board: Nikon RAW is not quite the same as Olympus RAW and, at least when I got my first Olympus that did raw, there was differences withing the Olympus line. I had to wait a while for the an update to Photoshop even though an older version of Olympus RAW could be read. Maybe that is why qim010 is reporting a difficulty with Sony AVCHD.

  • ERROR MESSAGE - The media being played is of an unsupported format...ERROR MESSAGE - HELP

    I recently download an app to watch movies on my phone from blackberrymovemachine.com.  I successfully downloaded this app and when I go to play movies it starts the download and then I get the error message: The media being played is of an unsupported format.  I have gotten this message too when trying to play some videos on you tube.  Any suggestions or help would be great?  Do I need to download another app to support this type of media? 
    Thanks

  • Wma files getting error message the media being played is of an unsupported format

    I have tried many methods of moving wma files from my pc to my 8310.  Some work and others trigger the error message "the media being played is of an unsupported format"  Why some work and other don't is mysterious to me.

  • Intermittent "Unsupported image format" message with either CR2 or DNG

    I am seeing "Unsupported image format" messages once files created by a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark iii (+stored in Canon's CR2 file format or when the same file is converted to Adobe's DNG file format+) have been imported into Aperture.
    Some files will import and be viewable. However, most of the time the files are not viewable. This occurs even after updating Aperture to 1.5.6.
    Is anyone else seeing problems with CR2 or DNG files created by Canon EOS 1Ds Mark iii?
    Has anyone see a solution?

    I think Support is confused with the Canon camera models.
    10.5.1 supports 1D Mk III, but only 1Ds Mk II.
    (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/cameras.html)
    I don't believe that 10.4.11 supports anything that 10.5.1 doesn't support. In fact, the docs at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306297 say "Adds RAW image decoding support for the following cameras: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, Leica V-Lux 1, Olympus E-400, Olympus EVOLT E410, Olympus EVOLT E510, Canon EOS 40D" (the 1D Mk III came in the 10.4.10 update.)

  • Unsupported format or damaged files message?

    On importing files into CS5 I get the "Unsupported format or damaged files" message. I assume I need the correct Codec?  I am on a PC windows 8.1. Anyone know how to solve this?

    Hi,
    You haven't mentioned the file type. Are you importing through the media browser?
    Rename the parent folder that contains the files or try to move the files to a different location and see if that helps.
    Thanks,
    Rameez

  • Unsupported image format message- Nikon 800D

    I just purchased Aperture 3 (3.2.4) and keep getting an "unsupported image format" message when trying to download RAW images.  The thumbnail images do come up- from a new 32GB Sandisk Compact Flash card.  I'm using a new Lexar Professional USB 3.0 reader.  The fact that the thumbnails come up make me think the problem is not with the reader.
    I've tried "reprocess masters" but that doesn't change anything.   I've tried just downloading a single image, and that still gets me the "unsupported" message.
    I'm using 10.7.3 on my iMac.
    Apple indicates that RAW files are supported from the Nikon 800D.  I was able to get metadata information and it did reference Nikon D800 with info on the lens used, aperture, speed etc.   But no image- just that nasty message.
    Has anyone else had this happen and figure out why/how to get a proper RAW download?
    Thanks-   Ted

    OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
    You might try to upgrade to MacOS X 10.7.4. The raw support for the Nikon 800D is now part of MacOS X 10.7.4.

    P.S: if this does not help, try to register your camera with the launch services db, as described here:

  • Error Message: Unsupported format or damaged file CS4

    Every time that I try and import my RED ONE footage into Premiere Pro CS4 it says: Error Message: Unsupported format or damaged file. I have downloaded the Redcode installer 1.7 and the Premiere update 4.2.1. I have asked around and searched all of the message boards but I cannot solve this problem. Please Help Me!

    You might ask in the forum where CS4 is discussed http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous?view=all to find out if that version will work with RED files at all

  • Twist on Unsupported Image Format message

    I have Aperture on my G5 tower as well as my Macbook Pro. A year ago I copied a project from the G5 to my Macbook Pro. The project was fine on both computers. Two days ago I was in Aperture on my G5 and I noticed that not all but some of the pictures in that project threw up the magenta screen with the Unsupported Image Format message. Interestingly, those very same pictures on the Macbook Pro also come up with that message.
    Now, understand that these files have been separated for a year. Both Aperture programs are up to date, both computers are up to date. Both have Adobe CS3 products installed, all up to date.
    To me this has nothing to do with file corruption or anything to do with editing time or memory as suggested in a number of places in various posts. An update from Apple has caused this. No way two computers could corrupt the same files at the very same time.
    If anyone has any advice or insight beyond restarting Aperture or the computer I would be quite happy to hear it. So far my searches have revealed nothing.

    I also had the Unsupported image format with the maroon background today. I have a Nikon D80 but all of my images are .jpg and I don't use raw .nef format. Working on a project all afternoon an early evening and SUDDENLY started getting 'unsupported image format' messages on the red background. I know the files are not corrupted because I had been in and out o many of them all day long. Had a similar problem with 1.5 and phoned Apple support and was told to restart Aperture holding down the Option - Command keys. A message appears to rebuild the library. Took about an hr for 40,000 images (24"3.0 iMac with 4 GB) and all is fine again.
    If I remember correctly, Aperture keeps track of everything in a database of some sort and sometimes it gets corrupted. The uif messages start to appear and quickly get more frequent. Rebuilding the database resolves the problem.
    Worked for me today, hope it works for others.
    Cheers,
    Dave
    PS. How come someone from the Aperture support team doesn't post this???
    Also, searching for "unsupported image format" in the help menu or the aperture support page doesn't immediately display this solution. Instead you have to hunt through the forums?

  • Receive unsupported media format message

    When transfering songs purchased from the Real Music Store to iPod Nano (using Real Player 10.5), I recieve an "unsupported media format" message. It is important to note that the same songs transfer to my iPod 30GB video player. Real support indicated a potential issue with 5th generation iPods but it is unclear whether or not the recently purchased Nano would be considered as such. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Media is what the info is on such as a CD, DVD or floppy.
    A player is CD player, car radio, computer, etc.

  • Unsupported Format Video Error

    Hello everyone.
    While playing around with my phone, i found my video recorder and decided to test it. For about 20 seconds, i recorded me waliking around the house.
    The problem arose when i went to play it. I clicked the play button and got the message: "The media being played is of an unsupported format." In addition a small red box in the upper right hand corner says "Error Playing"
    If anyone could help resolving this, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    It might be kind of late, but i ran into this problem tody as well. To fix it, i went to the memory card screen, clicked the menu button and clicked 'safely remove media card'. I took it out, waited a few seconds, put it back in, and all my videos were working again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Video unsupported format problem after installing OS 6

    I had two videos saved on my Sprint Curve 9330 that played with OS 5.  After installing OS 6, I now get an error message that states, "The video portion of the media being played uses an unsupported format."  The sound from the video plays, but, the video does not.  The videos have an mp4 file extention.  I tried deleting the videos and reloading them from my computer with Blackberry Desktop Manager.  I tried a battery pull.  I checked to make sure no encryption of the media card was turned on.  Nothing seems to fix the problem.  Does any one have some advice or a fix for this issue?  Thanks!

    Update:  I got it to work today.  I had to convert the video file from AVI to mpeg4 myself, then download it without "optimizing" it as is.  For whatever reason, when I let BB Desktop Manager try to convert the file, it failed to successfully create a mpeg4 file that could be played on my phone, even though, the file has an mpeg4 file extension.  Hopefully this helps others who might experience a similar problem.

  • Aperture 2 and Unsupported Format After Image Adjustments

    I was making tonal adjustments to a Nikon D3 RAW photo in "Browser Only" view mode. When I closed the adjustments HUD, the image was replaced with the red "Unsupported Format" window. I had to restart Aperture to get back to the photo. Sounds like an interesting bug.
    Anyone else seen this?

    ...this appears to be a common issue - I just posted another message on a similar thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6634081#6634081
    Same issues here: Canon D5, after some editing I was getting the red block; and a restart of Aperture cured it (for now)
    As mentioned in the other thread: maybe it has to do with setting the camera to store both the RAW and a (small) .jpeg? I haven't seen it appear in another series imported just before - and edited just before in Aperture - where the camera only stored the RAW on the card...
    Any more experiences?

  • Raw PCM or Unsupported Format

    I am trying to import some .mp3 songs into Audition.
    When I use the shortcut import button, nothing happens.
    When I'm in multitrack view, I use
    - Insert>Audio.
    - I highlight the track I want to import
    - In the "Show File Information" box it says "Raw PCM or Unsupported Format".
    - I click open
    - A box comes up saying
    Could not open file:
    blah blah blah.mp3
    The selected file does not appear to be a supported file type.
    To attempt to open this file and interpret it as audio data, select PCMRaw Data as the File Type, enter an asterik (*) in the File Name field and click Open to display all files.
    Any ideas about how to fix this so I can import these .mp3 files into Audition?

    Cheers Steve but thats still not working.
    Tried the same process in edit mode (both shortcut and File>open) but I'm still getting the same message.
    I tried changing the file extension to .wav but still got the same message.
    I tried changing the file extension to .pcm and only got 30 seconds of white noise (it should be a 3 minute clip).
    I downloaded a crappy mp3 to wav converter off the net but that only changed the file to half a second of white noise.
