With which version were these files made?
What version do you use now?
Try to open it with notepad (do not modify/save it with notepad!) and copy/paste the first 20 characters for example; the header that it tries to identify is there.

Seeing the header is should be able to open it... What size is the file? (for sending by e-mail to me)

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 2005-02-15 11:08:05

Its about 30Mbs

I'll get in touch with u via MSN if u don't mind and then I can make a file transfer by that way.

OK. I'm usually connected in the evening (west-european time)

That's quite strange that AMC 3.5 cannot open this file, this error message should only occur when it does not recognize the beginning of the file, which is the good one in your case.

Ça dépend, il faut voir à quoi ressemble le fichier (cf messages ci-dessus) et quelle taille il a

il fait environs 70k et les premieres lignes une fois editées font directement référence dirait-on aux films.

Post by **antp** » 2005-06-15 08:58:32

Il n'y a pas d'en-tête avec indiqué "ant movie catalog" ?
70 Ko, c'est un catalogue sans image je présume ?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 2005-06-20 10:56:10

non pas d'en tetes, et effectivement c'est sans images

Post by **antp** » 2005-06-20 12:39:06

Sans en-tête c'est pas récupérable

(à moins que ce ne soit un fichier .xml et non .amc)

Mais je me demande ce qui a pu se passer pour que le fichier soit endommagé

Hi!

My trouble is same as the first one: I can't open the saved *.amc file. The file is about 25 MB. I made it the last one AMC. The *.bak file doesn't work too (after rename it - *.amc, of course).

The error message is the same:
"Unable to load dvd film.amc: Cannot identify the fyle type from header"

These are the beginning characters from the *.amc file:

That's strange, there is no reason to get this message since the header seems correct

(Except if you try to load it with a version lower than 3.5 of course

)
