    I’m exporting sd video via compressor in H.264 streaming and compressor makes .mov-1 which won’t upload. I remember people had this happen couple of years ago but can’t remember solution and can’t find it in Apple forums Can anybody help ? I’d be most grateful

    Sounds like you’re exporting to a drive that’s formated as FAT32 rather than Mac Extended, and you’ve hit the 4Gb file size limitation. Is that possible?

    Hi David
    thanks for replying: I checked in utility and it’s extended alright I’m using the H.264 presets in compressor for a 3 minute video. When I use the iPhone Preset it comes M4V-1! It happened before I just can’t recall how it got sorted: might have been an Apple update perhaps

    Does it play? What happens when you delete the -1.

    The QT behaves normally: I can
    copy it and drag it etc: I remember we tried to delete the -1 last time and it made no difference so it is a difference in the file format . I’ll try again tho, tomorrow now as it is 2100 GMT!

    I checked all the settings they were fine so I chose a new preset: 3GPP
    At first while compressing it appeared in Finder as -1. Then as compressor finished the -1 dissolved!!!
    I just have to upload to the website now!
    Fingers crossed
