That one states for "invalid media" what would mean your .WAV file could be corrupted or simply damaged. Please take a look at "Corrupt Audio Files: How to Repair" to get an idea about how to get back the file.Regards,--Javier'I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.'

(OSStatus error -208.)"Error Code: -208Error: badFileFormatDescription: File is corrupt or unusableBased on your amplifying information, my guess would be that dropping the recorder while it was recording prematurely stopped or interrupted the recoding and the file now lacks a valid EOF (End of File) marker without which QT will not play the file.Any suggestions for salvaging?While I assume it might be theoretically possible to add a valid EOF using an app like Dumpster (or the newer Atom Inspector app), I personally do not know specifically how to find/calculate this mod

Help! September 9, 2010 12:01 PM Subscribe I recorded a podcast today on an Edirol R-09 hard-disc recorder, but once I've extracted the file to my hard drive, I can't open the file. It's not the kind of recording I can replicate, and I'm in trouble. Can I rescue the data? It's a 55-minute, 824MB .wav file, recorded at a sampling rate of 44.100kHz. I've tried opening it in iTunes, Audacity, VLC, Switch and Quicktime, but none work. The only programme that throws up an actual error message is Quicktime, which reports ""OSStatus error -208". I imagine the file is corrupt in some way, but I've tried running DiskWarrior on the SD card and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4744684?tstart=0 get the message "directory cannot be rebuilt, the file system is unsupported". There are five other .wav files on the SD card, and all play OK. If I try and play the file on the Edirol itself, I get the message "improper song". When monitoring the recording as it was made, it sounded fine, and I'm assuming that the audio data is on the file, judging by the overall filesize. This is a process I've done lots of times before http://ask.metafilter.com/164603/Ive-recorded-a-podcast-but-cant-open-the-wav-file-Help without any issues, and I'm at a complete loss as to what to do next. Any suggestions? Advice will be very gratefully received. Thanks. posted by Cobbler to Technology (9 answers total) 1 user marked this as a favorite Could you upload part of the file somewhere so that we can have a look at it? Since it sounds like you're on a Mac, you can copy out the first 1meg of the file using this Terminal command: dd if=yourfile.wav of=part.wav bs=1024 count=1024 And then upload "part.wav" somewhere we can get it? (Or, if you don't have anywhere else, email it to me and I'll make it available.)posted by Mwongozi at 12:07 PM on September 9, 2010 I'm reaching here, but one thing to try is (after you've made a backup copy of the file!) opening both the bad recording and a known-good recording in a hex editor. It might be that some of the header bytes in the file are just mangled. If you posted hex dumps of the first few bytes of both files, someone familiar with the WAV format might be able to tell you what to change to fix the corruption. It's a long shot, but without it there's not a lot of information to go on.posted by Kadin2048 at 12:11 PM on September 9, 2010 Virtualdub has helped me access files when I'd given them up for dead and quicktime threw

I recently downloaded some .wav sound files off of the internet for use in a game I am making with blender. The sounds worked properly at first but after I saved the .blend file and reloaded it, the sound ceased to work. When I tried to open the sounds using Quicktime it gave me an OSStatus error-208. How can I get a sound file into blender without it making the sound files unreadable? I am running Blender 2.5 on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 Last edited by DanielW; 19-Jul-10 at 10:50. 19-Jul-10,08:54 #2 Fun101 View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Member Join Date Jun 2010 Location Vacuumsville Posts 43 U r the lucky one; my computer plays all sound perfectly EXCEPT for Blender! I have tried everything; reinstalling drivers, Blender, etc. In your case, it maybe that u closed Blender before it had a chance to completely save your work. Has it happened a lot, or just one time? I'm using Windows XP - I tried Windows 7, and it worked great, but it is a RAM hog, so I had to get rid of it. What version of Blender are u using? I'm using 2.49b, and I have Realtek drivers. It just corrupted the one file? I'ms ins yours skynets, lolllings aways ats yours futiles attempts ats controllings ours internets! 19-Jul-10,11:22 #3 Inferno View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Visit Homepage Member Join Date Sep 2009 Location Missouri, U
