Using exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler

I try to export an audio file from the iPod-Library. I want to create with this iPod-Library file an new file. In the AV Foundation Programming Guide in chapter Reading and Writing Assets there is a little example. However this code doesn't work for me. 4 errors happens

Export Status 4 Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain 
Code=-11800 "The operation could not be completed" 
UserInfo=0x1edfa0 {NSLocalizedFailureReason=An unknown error occurred (-12124), 
NSUnderlyingError=0x1ebdc0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -12124.)", 
NSLocalizedDescription=The operation could not be completed}

My code

AVURLAsset *objAvUrlAsset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:[tempArray objectAtIndex:0]  options:nil];

NSLog(@"%s objAvUrlAsset %@", __FUNCTION__, objAvUrlAsset);

NSArray *compatiblePresets = [AVAssetExportSession exportPresetsCompatibleWithAsset:objAvUrlAsset];

NSLog(@"%s compatiblePresets %@", __FUNCTION__, compatiblePresets);

if ([compatiblePresets containsObject:AVAssetExportPresetAppleM4A]) {


    AVAssetExportSession *exportSession = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc]
                       开发者_StackOverflow                    initWithAsset:objAvUrlAsset presetName:AVAssetExportPresetAppleM4A];

    NSString * exportPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"testTrack1.M4A"];
    NSURL *exportURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:exportPath];

    exportSession.outputURL = exportURL;
    exportSession.outputFileType = AVFileTypeAppleM4A;
    exportSession.shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse = YES;

     NSLog(@"%s export Session %@",__FUNCTION__, exportSession);

    [exportSession exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler: ^(void) {
        // export completed
        NSLog(@"Export Status %d %@", exportSession.status, exportSession.error);
    }];
    [exportSession release];
}

the nslog message

How can i fix this four errors. Do i need for this export the AVAssetReader and AVAssetWriter.

I got the same result from AVAssetExportSession, what the completely useless NSError is trying to tell you is that the path you're exporting to doesn't fully exist. You'll want to make sure that you create the path to the directory you're placing the file in using NSFileManager.

The problem for me was that I was trying to convert the file directly from the tmp directory after getting it from the UIImagePickerController

What I had to do was first save the file to the Library, then iterate over the ALAssetLibrary files to find the latest video saved. Then I converted that video to .mp4 and stored it int he application's local documents directory for use as I please.

Kind of ridiculous that this is necessary but it works.
