Yeah.
I have been keeping track of the paths. They are correct and have no
special characters (that was one of the first things I had him do,
was make sure all the paths involved had no special characters). Now,
since the file is partially getting created in the destination
location, wouldn't that preclude paths as an issue though?
Here's a weird thing: I met up with him to be sure of what was going
on. When he tried to use the software in front of me, it could *not*
copy even to the same partition. So, it doesn't seem to copy to any
partition or device. We tried setting the destination to my laptop in
target disk mode. Same error. I ran the software from my machine and
set the file destination to be *his* laptop in target disk mode. That
worked fine. We both have the same MacBook Pros (though he has his /
Users on a separate partition).
Here's how I'm going to troubleshoot this evening...
I've just given him a build that has the method modifying the file
commented out. In other words, it's just going to copy from tmp out
to his selected destination. This will tell me unequivocally if it's
just the copying, or if its something in copying *after* the method
modifies the file (the method adds a QT Track atom and adds data to
the MDAT atom). Note that the method works on all the other machines
I've tried. The movies play fine with all the right data. crazy.
I'll keep you folks abreast of the situation as it develops.
thanks!!!!!
