What is error code 2002 "Bad Public Movie Atom"

I just purchased QT 7 Pro for Windows. Installation & update correctly performed. When I attempted to import .mov file from my underwater video camera, I got the message. What do I do?

I have the same problem
mp4s created with nero recode worked well with itunes.
Rebuilt my machine with Windows Vista installed latest iTunes and quick time and now 25% of the movies return a public atom error.
Interestingly the same movies on my network drive play OK, but if you copy them to My Videos you get error 2002 public atom (but only for the ones that I originally found did not play).
I have created new mp4s with Recode and they donot play except when moved to the network drive.
I have reinstalled quicktime and Vista with no effect.I think this is a Vista/Itunes/Quicktime compatibilty issue.
Can any one else help?

Please help...if you need any more info, please ask...
Thank you!

Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie

I have a Nikon Coolpix L10 (about 2 years old) that records video in the .mov format.
Most of the time when I play the videos on my computer I used to get a bad flicker and the video would often freeze. When I used a video editing program I found that for every two frames of video there was a black frame.
So I thought maybe Quicktime wasn't 100% compatible with the file type or version. So after some deliberation I got Quicktime Pro and I have the newest version 7.6.5. The flicker is gone but the video still freezes.
So I tried exporting to MP4 or AVI or anything and I keep getting
"Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie"
It wont allow me to export the video to a different format.
Sometimes when I cancel the export Windows pops up a screen that it's searching for a reason that the Export Controller stopped working.

Thank you very much for the help. I tried copying and pasting the video file that is a .mov file to my zip drive and then I tried to an .avi file. The reason for doing this is so I can edit it with microsofts windows movie maker. After I had it on the zip drive and tried to export it so I could change the file it still defaults to the error 2002 message saying there is a bad public movie atom. I have done a bunch (5) other movies from the camera and they all worked and then the last one would not. So I assume there is a random factor that happens such as file size or something in the recording that causes the random atom attack. Maybe the difference is not being a mp4. It would be great if there was a definitiion of what bad public atom was and what it meant. Computers and technology is great.
I did another search and found that a person commented on zipping the file. Well I tried to zip it from the external drive I have to my desktop and it would not work. Then I ziped the file again. Saved to a external drive then unziped it to the same external drive. From that file I then did the file export and it went fine. So the moral of the story is if the video you took is important keep searching and trying and thanks for everyones help. Why is it the vendor of the product does not post solutions? Anyway now I can go on making movies and editing them. It must be a file corruption issue so that by moving the 1's and 0's around it fixes it's self. Is it a bug with the camera recording or is a bug with quick time?

"Error - 2002 Damaged public movie atom" bla, bla, bla"

Hi,
I hope that there's someone out there that could help me with this issue that I have with iTunes.
When I try to add the taggs of each of my movies in my library, such as name, genre and poster, my iTunes 9 out of 10 times crashes. But that is not the whole thing.
When it crashes, I discover that the movies that I tried to edit were damaged by the software and none of them are playable by either VLC, WMP or QuickTime. When I try to play them in QuickTime I get the message: "Error - 2002" and something about a damaged public atom.
What is this **** and how do I recover all of my films?
Plz help!

Were these movies purchased from the iTunes Store?
Take a look at this blog post someone made -> HOWTO: Fix the "Error - 2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie" problem with mp4 video in iTunes / Quicktime on Vista
WTH.

Bad public movie atom

I have a couple of clients trying to use FCS client at home over our secure company network with very limited success. Mostly they receive constant "caching" messages. I am telling them that I cant guarantee them they can do this at home but one of them received the message "bad public movie atom was found". Can anyone help with the diagnosis of this problem?

Over what protocol are you allow the remote users to hit Final Cut Server?
Also, what ports are available from the remote users systems to the server running FCS? At minimum, 8821 and 8826 need to be open for the client to work properly.

My videos are defaulted to Quicktine and I have downloaded the latest QT player but all my movie clips now cannot be played and I get this error message Error-2002 a bad public movie atom was found in the movie.

I have used quicktime player downloads for movie clips made for equipment inspections. However in 2011 I encountered a problem when trying to view previously made movie clips that are in the quicktime player format but they won't play giving the messgae : Error-202 a bad movie atom was found in the movie,
I have downloaded the latest Quicktime player but the problem still remains. However late in 2011 when this problem was encountered I downloaded the the latest QT player download and then could play the movie clips but now the problem is back.
How do I fix this problem.
Regards
Richard

Hello,
This doesn't really solve the problem, but why don't you ask your colleague to resave or export test.3gp?
The new file will probably work. (vs troubleshooting your Windows PC can take ages, to no avail)

A bad public movie atom error????

Can anyone tell what in hte world that is and what to do about it? I'm getting it when I try to open an MP4 file with iTunes...

It's a corrupt file -- QT stores information in what it calls "Atoms" and a bad one is one that's been corrupted.
Happens alot with Zipped files -- shouldn't happen at all unless the file itself is packed in some manner. Best bet is to create the file again, or get it again unzipped from wherever you got it in the first place. There is no way to repair it (although some programs, like VLC, can apparently open it without error -- that won't do you any good insofar as the iPhone and iTunes is concerned).

HTTP Error Code 400 Bad Request error when connecting to SQL db

I realized I should move this to a new post since it was a new question...
I am trying to connect to a distributed SQL database from CS4.
Let me show you how the connection is built... and then maybe someone can tell me what I am doing wrong...
First I go to the database panel:
I click on the '+' sign to add an MS SQL Server Connection:
That brings up the SQL Server Connection window where I am supposed to replace the placeholders with my server values:
After I enter the correct values and click test, I get the error (HTTP Error Code 400 Bad Request)... These values work from SQL Server Management Studio on the same PC.
Just as a side note... I tried one other thing that makes me think SOMETHING is wrong here:
If I choose as OLE DB Connection instead... and click the 'Build...' button and then enter the values in the Data Link Properties Window (OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, and then the connection info on the Connection tab) and then click Test Connection on the Data Link Properties window, it says my test succeeded. Then I click 'ok' which takes me back to the OLE DB Connection windows with the connection string pre-filled, and click test on THAT window and I get the same HTTP Error Code 400 Bad Request error...
Hopefully that is enough detail that someone can can tell me what I have broken?
Thanks,
Mike

Are you trying to downgrade your iPhone?
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
(from iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting)
If not, try to move or delete the IPSW file and let iTunes download it again.
Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your device. If those files are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file to a different directory. This will cause iTunes to download a new copy of the IPSW. When a restore issue is specific to a user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

I got the error when trying to rename or move a file.

Sounds like a permissions error. What type of file? Is this just one file?
Click the file and hold COMMAND + I : Make sure the file is not locked. Under sharing and permissions you can set the RW access of the file.
