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
Zach

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.

  • 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

  • Cannot open corrupted .mov file - error 2048 unsupported format

    Hi all,
    I have an important corrupted video file and I have tried every way I can think of to open it, but to no avail...
    When I open it with Quicktime, an "error 2048 unsupported format" shows up, even though other videos I took are fine.
    I can't open this video with ANY softwares including VLC and friends (trust me, I tried LOADS of them)..
    After doing MUCH research I understand that either the header/closing part of the file is messed up.
    Is anyone able to teach me how to fix those parts?
    I'm really at the end of my wits and I'm a just beginner to hex-editing @.@ Better still, if you are able to take a look at this video for me...
    I'll be very glad if anyone can help me out with this as I really wish to recover the video, this is for an important friend, thanks in advance!
    P.s. the video is about 120mb in size

    Hi
    Im using the tool called SUPER.
    Its free and you can convert any file format to any other file format
    Maybe it would be possible to convert his faulty file to another format and ten you could try to open it again using VLC player or other application.

  • 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.

  • Unsupported Format Error

    I am getting this error when trying to import an .avi file
    into Flash 8 Professional on a Windows 2000 machine:
    quote:
    The source file stock_1.avi contains video in an unsupported
    format and cannot be encoded.
    On another machine, the same video imports fine in Flash 8
    Professional (though it's an XP Pro machine).
    I had tried uninstalling Flash 8 and Flash Video Encoder, but
    get the same results.
    Thank you,
    Joshua Cane

    I opened Flash Pro 8, created a new Flash document, then
    Imported a Video.
    On the XP, I select the .avi file and go through the steps to
    encode the video to a .flv file. No trouble.
    However, on the Win 2000 machine, I get the above error after
    selecting the video and clicking Next.
    I also tried just opening Flash Video Encoder and adding the
    file to the queue. When I start the queue, I get this error:
    quote:
    The instruction at "0x00000008" referenced memory at
    "0x00000008". The memory could not be "read".

  • I am getting an unsupported format error when trying to import the.aaf file.

    When I select File > Import > File, and then select my .aaf file, nothing happens.
    When I select File > Import > Pro After Effects and then select my .aaf file, it imports the files, then I get an unsupported format error for .mov files.
    Help!

    Kbuggle,
    Which video in the tutorial does this step apply to (i.e. importing the AAF file)? Are you importing from the sample files that accompany the tutorial? Finally, can you post a screen shot of the error message you're getting?
    Also, please confirm which version of After Effects you're running, as well as the operating system.
    Thanks!

  • AVCHD Import Error - Unsupported Format

    Hi All,
    Just wanted to share an experience that might help others. My cameras are HDV, but I sometimes rent a Sony AX-2000 and have had excellent results importing and using its .mts files in Premiere CS6.
    I filled several SDHC cards over the weekend and was transferring them to my editing hard drive, and at the same time was setting up new projects for the clips. I started importing clips from cards that had already been transferred, then accidentally tried to Import a clip using Media Browser while the data was still being transferred. The clip threw an error of "Damaged or Unsupported Format". I quickly realized my error, waited for transfer to complete, but still got the same error when I tried to import again. Hmm. Maybe Premiere is still thinking the clip is broken from before? So I created a NEW PROJECT and tried importing clip again, but same error! I then tried to import the clip direct from the SDHC card and that worked fine, so at least I knew the original clip was fine.
    I then figured that even though I started an entirely new Project that Premiere still had its mind made up that THAT FILE in THAT FOLDER was no good, based on "previous experience". It just couldn't get past that. So I deleted the "Private" folder (containing card data) from my drive, and again copied that material over from the memory card to hard drive. And it STILL would not import!! I finally got wise and create a new "Video" folder on my drive, and moved "Private" into that, so that any linkage to previous attempts would be broken since the file path was changed, and sure enough, it imported just fine!!
    So Premiere must keep some sort of database based on metadata of clips you import and once it gets the notion that something is wrong with a clip, it clings to that belief tenaciously. By changing the folder name, Premiere was fooled into thinking it was an entirely different set of clips and it worked fine then.
    Hope this helps someone sometime
    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.

  • Strange "unsupported format" error with jpegs

    I'm trying to help a friend who is running the most recent version of Aperture 3 (all updates installed). When we import a single jpeg from her hard drive, it comes into Aperture with the "unsupported format" icon and an exclamation mark where the preview should be. Double clicking the thumbnail opens the same error in the viewer, so it's not just an issue of the preview. The files themselves are fine and are named with the proper extension.
    If we import 2 images at the same time, one comes in okay, and one does not. Importing 3 at a time yeilds 2 good, one bad. So, essentially, there is always just one image that is bad. It will successfully import the very same file that it rejected moments before as long as it is not the only file being imported. Make sense?
    This is not a RAM or hard drive space issue. The only thing I think it may be is that she is running 10.6.7 (on a quad core Mac Pro). I'm wondering if the OS update to 10.6.8 resolves this particular issue. I will definitely update it as soon as I can, but I need to know if it could be something else. (I'm not with the machine now, and I need to bring the solution with me because she is not at a location where she can download the update herself.) Has anyone else seen this behavior before?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions. This has me stumped!

    Upgrade and then see.  10.6.8 is the current minimum requirement.

  • .mp3 "unsupported format" error

    Hello,
    I am trying to upload two .mp3 lectures using the Public Site Manager and am repeatedly getting an "unsupported format" error. I already have three .mp3s uploaded into this Collection and just need to add two more. All files by this faculty member were created using a Sony USB Digital Voice Recorder and this has never been an issue before. This faculty member has been patient as I have been trying to upload them for two days now. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a fix for it?
    Thanks,

    Hi.  I am sorry you are having trouble streaming the radio.  I can certainly look into it for you.  Is this an application that you downloaded or are you going directly to that website to stream the radio?  Did you download any applications to your phone before the radio stopped working? 
    Another possibility could be the particular website you are streaming radio from may have changed the format.
    Waiting on your reply 
    Thanks!

  • PE4 Unsupported format/damaged file

    I get this message 'Unsupported format/damaged file. One of the necessary components may not be installed.'
    I use an Hitachi HDD video camera. It came with image mixer 3 software that I use to import the video onto my PC. It saves the files as mpeg 2 and then in PE4 I can import the media into my project to make videos with.
    This has always worked and I just made 6 small videos the other day in this manner. Now I just tried doing this today and I get that error message and the mpegs are unrecognized by PE4. I tried it with the mpegs that I used just 3 days ago and I have the same problem.
    I have uninstalled and then reinstalled PE4, I used gspot to make sure I have the proper codecs for the mpegs, quicktime is up to date. I'm not sure what else to try.
    Anyone have any ideas? I have some clips that I need to get made.
    Thanks

    Any solution is a good solution, djeeper.
    MPEGs and video from hard disk cameras can be a bit iffy in programs like Premiere Elements. If it works, great! But sometimes they do work and sometimes they don't. (You can increase the odds they will work by downloading and installing the K-Lite Codec Pack -- but even that's no guaranteed solution.)
    If you want a solution that works every time all the time, you'll want to convert any MPEGs into DV-AVIs before you bring them into Premiere Elements, per our FAQs at the top of this forum.

  • Unsupported format or damaged file with .psd import

    I have several PSD files I am importing into Premiere Pro CS4 and with one I am receiving this error message, "Unsupported format or damaged file."
    The file opens in Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator but not in Premiere. I tried it using the import command as well as dragging and dropping but I get the error both ways. I even tried resaving it in photoshop as a PSD file under a different name but still no luck. Other PSD files that were created the same way and from similar source materials are importing fine. The file was from originally an EPS file and was exported from Illustrator as a PSD.
    Any ideas what is going on?
    Thanks for any input.
    Cole

    Glad that you found that.
    For Video, the PSD's need to be RGB, and not CMYK or Intexed Color. They need to be 8-bit. Paths can cause issues, though not always, and the same for Smart Objects (some work fine, and others muck things up???). Often, tiny pixel counts in a Layer (think something very small, like a logo, in a much larger Image), can cause issues.
    Good luck,

  • "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.
