Well I'm trying to compress a few videos so I can put them on the internet. But when I start to compress them with compressor. It fails, and I get an error. The error is "QuickTime Error: -2195"

I have search google, and can't find anything that relates to "-2195". So any help would be greatful.

Also I have never had a problem before.

I have recently installed Shake, Motion 2, and Adobe After Effects. So could one of those programs be interferring?

So thanks for any help.
 
Try running Repair Disk Permissions and see if that helps. I found some references to that.

Also - using a google search QuickTime Error: 2195 (without the dash/minus sign) brings up hits on this.
 
I tried the Repair Disk Permission and that didn't help. Also I searched, and I still couldn't find anything.
 
Please explain to us how this could possibly help on any Mac running MacOS X 10.2 or newer.

Repairing permissions not only often helps fix quirky behavior, it is recommended to do before and after every major or complex software install. It helps clean up the UNIX core OS errors that can accumulate or occur over time or with changes to the system/library software. You can repair permission only to a bootable drive, using Disc Utility.

If your system is often shut down at night, it's also recommended to run a system maintenance utility such as MacJanitor, Macaroni or ONYX. Since the UNIX core is scheduled to do these things in the wee hours of the morning, if your system is shut down they simply don't get done unless you do them yourself.

MT37, this is the closest thing I could find that has anything to do with this error - it's also why I recommended the repair permissions first - it's relatively easy. But take a look through this thread from another forum and maybe you can find the problem.

Hopefully it doesn't involve an archive and restore as mentioned at the bottom.

Good luck...
 
Thanks, I'll try it out later. I'm in the middle of trying to build a music player in Flash, which is going too well. Haha.
