quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.5g],-5000=afpAccessDenied,QT.vers:7138000
at quicktime.std.StdQTException.checkError(StdQTException.java:38)


this happens when I try to make a movie using MovieMaker. (generative video+audio type of thing)

the same code works for other sketches, which are variations of similar visual reaction patterns but doesn't work with one particular code.

I'm using macbook OSX 10.4.8, quicktime version 7.1.3, ESS library for audio analysis and OPENGL for 3D objects.

would anyone suggest anything?

thanks,

emre.

I'm getting exactly the same error (except for version numbers) as the initial poster.  I know it's not the length of the filename (less than 30 characters).  
The example sketch "DrawingMovie" from the Processing library for Video>MovieMaker doesn't display error messages, but neither does it make the file it should be making, "drawing.mov".  
I'm running Processing 1.0.1 on a MacBookPro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 GHzIntel Core Duo (sometimes makes a difference), QuickTime 7.6.4, Java 10.2 (I think; I honestly don't know where to look for that bit of info...).  
Any help would be great; I've trawled around the forums looking for similar problems, but this is the closest I've found to mine.

Could it be that my version of Quicktime (non-Pro) simply doesn't let me make movies?  Or does Processing bypass that lack of privilege?
