A friend has asked us to assemble a short presentation. For demo footage, she brought some Quicktime ".mov" files that we were not able to open. (She mentioned that the files weren't "DVD" but "V-???"
Two of the files yielded "general error" and the other read "Unsupported frame rate (FCP HD does not support this frame rate or the way it is represented"
When we tried to "Import" rather than "Open" the files, the message read "File Error: 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
What does this mean, and am I able to change FCP's settings or convert the files in order to bring these into the program?
This is more out of curiousity than necessity... the files were downloaded from her organization's web site. They were very small and ultracompressed and rather unworthy for a DVD project. The specs are as follows:
#1)
Sorenson video , 256X192, Million, Qualcomm Purevoice, Mono, 8.000 khz
8 FPS
3.71MB
Data Rate 118.56 kbits/sec
#2)
Sorenson video, 256X192, Millions, QDesign Music 2, Mono, 22.050 khz
8 FPS
10.40MB
Data Rate 121.23 kbits/sec
#3)
Sorenson video 3, 320X240, Millions +, MPEG Layer3, Mono, 11.025 khz
12 FPS
11.31MB
Data Rate 170.90 kbits/sec
(#3 was the one that said "unsupported frame rate" rather than "general error," by the way.)
I don't know what a lot of this pertains to. I assume that all this might be particularly designed for the web? What does the "data rate" and the kHz value pertain to? "Millions"?
Thanks!
