error message 18055:0:1

[Quaill]

I am having a bit of a problem with exporting my video when I'm finished with it. When I try to export it as a .mov or .mpg file I receive the following error:

Failed to read 5273856th samples from file...than it gives the location of the MP3 file.

At the bottom it has [18055:0:1]

For some reason it let me export it as a .wmv file.

I sure would appreciate any help anyone might have.

Thanks a bunch,

Quaill

What are you trying to export it to? And what are the properties of the files you are trying to export? (Can we assume, in other words, that you had already converted the original to .mov or .mpg before trying to export?)

Maybe I'm unclear on what exactly "exporting it" means. I meant when I try to save it or "share it", I try to save it as a .mpg or .mov and have through or sometimes towards the end, it gives me that error message regarding the MP3 file.

Sorry -- 'export' in the VS sense means that you are trying literally to export the file to an external device e.g. sending a DV/AVI file back to your video camera or a .mov file back to your digital still camera which may have taken the original...

Anyway, a number of people here have had problems with particular versions of MP3. It's a codec thing. LameMP3 seems to be one of the main culprits, though I am sure others will spring to its defence. At any rate, a proven way round the codec problem is to first convert your audio file to the standard .WAV format before trying to do anything else to it.

I have same problem. I added one of the "instant projects" to my project and when I am trying to share the movie it goes up to 3% and then says error.... cannot read .MPA file. Please help!
