Re: [PD] "Invalid public movie atom", was Re: Saving Gem output as video file on MacOSX ?
without having any expertise in this field, i suggest to edit your mov files with an hexeditor and change the value in the header of the mov-file accordingly, so that it can be read by Quicktime. the option of having to completely reinstall the operating system because of some wrongly set bit in a few files seems really crazy :-( roman On Thu, 2008-02-14 at 08:09 -0800, Dudley Brooks wrote: > Dudley Brooks wrote: > > > Olivier Heinry wrote: > > > >> The last time I tried to pix_record on OSX (on a Dual G5 running > >> Panther, 2Go RAM) , I switched to Gem2pdp + pdp_rec because the Mac > >> couldnt handle it in realtime for a 640x480 window and PDP made it > >> (might be related to PDP multithread capability). > > > > I'm sorry, what is pdp_rec?

Thanks. Could you point me to good online info on file formats, so that I know what to change? > the option of having to completely reinstall the operating system > because of some wrongly set bit in a few files seems really crazy :-( I agree 100%. It's the sort of hitting-a-fly-with-sledgehammer approach that Windows tech support was always recommending. I was disappointed to find it recommended by Mac users (or possibly Mac support, I'm not sure which). -- Dudley ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

So I now have pdp_rec~. But when I try to play the output file in QuickTime, I get the error message "The movie could not be opened. An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie." The same thing happens if I try to import into Final Cut or iMovie. Google reveals that it's because when QT 7.3 came out, they changed the value of a "null byte" from 0 to -1 -- thereby invalidating many .mov files and infuriating many people. The only suggested solution I've found mentioned is reverting to QT 7.2 (someone recommends 7.1.6), which apparently involves wiping the HD and re-installing the OS -- *if* you can find QT 7.2 or 7.1.6. I searched for the error message on the pd-list archive and didn't find anything. Does anyone have experience with this and know a solution? Olivier, when you use gem2pdp and pdp_rec~ as mentioned in your post, what do you do with the resulting file?
