Can't mount Digital 8 Camcorder in FCP 6? (TRV120)

Any ideas?  Have tried all the standards stuff..
VIEW>Refresh AV device
Start up FCP with and without digital 8 camcorder plugged into Mac's Firewire 400 port
"Firewire basic", "non-controllable device"
Re-opening log & capture window too many times
I can't get this Sony TRV120 to mount, got it used recently so I want to make sure this isn't a problem with the camera's firewire port soon rather than later so I can go back to the seller but I'm guessing it's not the camera...any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi
Also make sure that Camera is connected to mains adaptor - not only on battery !
Else - my long long list
NO CAMERA or A/D-box
Cable
• Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
• Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
Does Your Camera or A/D-box work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
A/D-box
• Is the dip-switches set right ?
• Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
• Try resetting it
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
• FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
External device’s (hard disk’s)
• Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
• MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.No Camera or A/D-box
• GarageBands fix - Close iMovie, Open GarageBand, Play some notes, Close GB and iMove can now be OK
• Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
• White MacBooks - don't
• MacBook-Air - don't
if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
else - NO SOLUTION
Only option as I get it is either
• Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
• Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
• If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
• Screen Saver - OFF
• Energy Saver - OFF
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE   Mac OS Extended   formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)

Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About . . / More . .
under Firewire.. what do you read . . ?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choice / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !
mbolander
Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
No Camera or bad import
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

if you have adobe cs3 or 4 and have the adobe bridge on close that
or no firewire will work
see if that helps

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconnect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

Maybe your problems is solved in the meantime, but for all others this might help as I had the same problem, also have the Sony HDR-HC7, but the 7e (Europe, PAL). I found this link today and it works perfectly
//support.sony-europe.com/tutorials/dime/videotransfer/vtransfer.aspx site=odw_en_GB&sec=DVH&m=HDR-HC7E
What I exactly did.- put camera in play mode - open guide - choose connection guide - choose comp./printer (where to transfer movie to) - select connection.- i-link (on my camera) but equal to firewire - OK - choose HDV - choose NO for conversion of i.link.
Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.
Yours Bengt W

  • Can iMovie works with Canon HF20 digital video camcorder?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone out there have this digital video camcorder (Canon HF20) because I'm looking into buying one. I would like to know if this camcorder is user friendly with Macbook (2.2 ghz). Thanks.

    I am not an expert but I believe it does. I have the same camcorder and MacBook Pro. The laptop recognizes the camera and it is a straight forward import from camera to iMovie.

  • Best Low Cost Camcorder for FCP?

    I'm going to take back a Samsung D453 camcorder because it has time code breaks during capture. Does anyone have any recommendations for a low cost DV camcorder that is supported by Final Cut Pro?

    Actually, recording timecode on a tape might have been a good idea with analog crash recording, but it does not make sense on DV camcorders. If nothing else you end up recording twice on the tape which increases wear on the camera heads and doesn't do much for the tape either.
    As an alternative to blacking tapes, simply record the first 30 seconds or so of the tape without images. Use a bars and tone if the camera can generate one. Otherwise use the FCP version. This gives you enough preroll area for capturing all material after this point.
    Once into the tape, just make sure when you stop recording, the heads are in a position that will allow them to pick up the timecode and continue on. As long as you do not rewind and review the footage you are good to go. If you must rewind & review, stop the play back a few seconds short of the end of the previous shot.
    So to recap. Generate bars and tone for the first 30 seconds of the tape then give your self enough preroll on each shot as well as an additional few seconds at the end of each shot.
    If you must review a shot/scene in camera, stop the tape before the end of the scene so the camera can pick up the timecode as it moves on.
    Good luck.

  • HVX-200 can't mount using the iMac Firewire 800?

    My specs are Mac OS X 10.6.6 , iMac 2.8 i5 with 12GB of ram.
    I'm trying to mount an HVX-200 Panasonic using P2 cards on my new computer via the iMac's Firewire.
    Each time I connect, load up the camera. It always gives me a disconnect message on the camera. I can't mount my camera at all! I tried this using a Firewire 400 setup on a friends older machine, no problem.
    Btw, I had to by a $40+ 9-pin to 4-pin Firewire cable on the Apple store and pay shipping just to find out all this is not working...
    Any suggestions here?

    That cable is fine with the iMac - I am more concerned with your camcorder; see page 10 of the FAQ:
    +Does 24PN have a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) mode?+
    +No, 24PN (and 30PN) modes do not transmit data over the IEEE 1394 (“firewire”) interface. The P2 HD camcorders only transmit SMPTE-compliant data streams over the 1394 interface, and 24PN/30PN recordings are unique modes that do not comply to established streaming protocols. Accordingly, 1394 output is disabled when using a Native mode.+
    As I said, I know nothing about your camcorder, but I think it is time for you to contact the mfr and/or the store where you bought it and ask questions about these data streams and FW compliance. In the link I sent previously (description of such a cable) it said that both devices must be compliant and, according to these FAQs, it may not?

  • Which Digital video camcorder?

    Hello,
    I just purchased a Mac Air with Final Cut Express on it. I am in the market for a digital video camcorder (I have an old sony, 10 yrs ago that is broken). can anyone give any experience with the new digital video camcorders and which kinds may work best with my Mac? I really like to the hard drive models, high definition, will the ACVHD codec cause a problem? I don't think the Air has a firewire but it does have a USB port.
    thanks for any suggestions.
    bugsycat

    Thank you for your reply. I got the Mac Air for portability at work and I will be using it while I travel this summer. I also have an iMac and a 1/2 TB Time Capsule for extra storage (I work with digital image data alot, but not yet video data). Can Final Cut be used on the iMac? I think I can hook up a camcorder via firewire to the Time Capsule and use my iMac for processing. I realize the AVCHD codec uses a sequence of one frame followed by 4 frames that record changes from the main frame. The AIC expands the data I see, it must fill in the data on the missing frames. Does Final Cut give easier options for editing the expanded data? If so then I guess hard disk models that use AVCHD would be OK.
    I do not want tapes (there are start and stop issues with more than one user, also storage issues) and DVDs don't seem to store much. That is why I was looking at the hard disk models, although I guess the flash drive models might work as well from that aspect. I do not know what format or codec the flash drive models typically use. The Canon HG10 or Canon HF100 are what has been recommended to me by friends.

  • Where has it all gone? Canon MV6i(mc) Digital Video Camcorder (PAL)

    Hi all,
    I have a Canon MV6i Digital Video Camcorder, that uses MiniDV, and not too long ago changed from a PowerBook to a MacBook Pro. My new Mac does not seem to want to recognise the Camera, I have attempted using both USB and FireWire, and have also recently upgraded iLife, hoping that it will make a difference.
    Unfortunately it still seems that the MacBook Pro does NOT recognise the Camcorder. Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something?
    How can I get it to work? I have also thought of getting a new Camcorder, but then why, when this one should work, or not?
    How can I make it work?
    Help me someone PLS, as I do have a LOT of "sentimental Video" that I want to use.
    Thank you,
    DC

  • Elgato video capture versus digital 8 camcorder to import hi 8 movies

    Hi!
    I have hi 8 video tapes which i want to import into my MacBook.
    I would like to work on them with iMovie 09, cut them, set titles etc. put music on and so on.
    Earlier I plugged my hi 8 camcorder into my panasonic DMR E85H dvd recorder with built in hdd.
    Then i importet them via handbrake into my MacBook.
    Then i importet them into iMovie 08 an did some cutting and so on.
    Then i recognized, that there where horizontal interferences in the movie.
    On the dvds the video is ok!
    It doesn´t matter if i play the videos in Quicktime or in iTunes or iMovie.
    If i would use a Elgato Video Capture to import or a digital 8 camcorder to import the videos to my MacBook would i be able to get a better result?
    Which one should i prefer - i have to buy each of them!
    Would the size of the camcorder-imported videos be bigger then with the Elgato device?
    Now i´m using iMovie 09.
    Thanks a lot for helping me out!

    Based on your comments about horizontal interferences, it may be that you are seeing interlace artifacts. The solution may be to deinterlace the clips.
    You might try checking the settings in handbrake to deinterlace.
    You might also take the clip you have produced in HB and deinterlacing using a free tool like MPEG Streamclip or JES Deinterlacer.
    Your MPEG2 on DVD is already compressed from the original on tape. Then HandBrake decompresses and recompresses it to h.264. You generally want to cut out compression steps in your workflow whenever possible, because each generation of compression will introduce noise and loss.
    You could also reimport from DVD using MPEG Streamclip (and the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component). You could deinterlace at this step if needed.
    You could certainly import through a camcorder with passthru capability. It will be DV which will be a very high data rate and potentially high quality, but it will never be higher quality than the underlying analog material. But you will have eliminated a compression step so you will be closer to the original.
    ElGato products will certainly work as well. I use the ElGato EyeTV hybrid to capture from a VHS Deck, as well as to record high definition TV shows. My ElGato will capture to MPEG2, although the newer models may capture directly to MPEG4 (not sure). You would then use the ElGato software to export to iMovie in an editable format such as h.264 or Apple Intermediate Codec.

  • 1 of my HD partition suddenly can't mount and want me to initialize! HELP!!

    Hi,
    If anyone who frequented these kind of problems before please let me know your solutions solving these problems. Thanks very much!!
    I'm a musician and a frequent mac user,I have a Power Mac G4 dual 800 with 1.25GMhz ram running on Mac Os 9.21 but with Mac OS X installed (I need to use Mac OS classic due to some of my music softwares still need to be updated before I upgrade to OS X),I've put the Hard Disk in 2 other sub partition HD at the beginning and have been using it to put all my important audio files and songs files. No problems at all before these nightmare started!
    The serious problem I'm having now is I suddenly can't mount one of my partition HD anymore.
    -I heard weird sound when starting & re-starting the Mac. (Heard some Hard Disk weird sound like sound "crutch" sound" and since the partition can't be mounted, the first thing shows up after I boot the computer is asking me if I wanna Initialize the Hard Disk because it's unreadable. There is 2 choices for me "Cancel" & "Initialize" But there is no effect when I choose "Cancel" so I use the Force Quit.
    2 little message saying my Main Hard Disk & the other partition are damaged but they still showing up properly and still running dangerously I think.
    -I have tried to start-up by using the installer Disk came with the computer and runs the First Aid Kit to verify the disk. I can see the partition and can see the icon of it but it's just different from others (in a black tone basic classic icon) and after running the verification some following messages appears:
    "Mountcheck found serious errors" (in red) then "Overlapped extent allocation,2.60" (in red) and "Hard disk need to be repaired" so I run the Repair mode and it just can't fix because it says it's not been mounted.
    I've also checked the main HD and the other partition which sometimes had some problems with it but no problems been found.
    -There was few times my computer do Freeze or appears a Bomb asking me to restart when I recording something using the partition for saving the data and a weird sound of hard disk comes before freezing. It seems it's always the same place of the hard disk. Also When I inserted a blank CD-R disk into the drive it just freeze and appears a Bomb message instead asking me if I wanna use the Toast or i-tunes for preparing the disk which I always used to do.
    I really hope the computer can hang on just for 1 more month before I have a break to fix everything and backup everything inside or initialize everything inside.
    P.S. I've another Powerbook G4 running on OS Tiger but it's mainly for my internet use. ( I don't use internet connection for my PowerMac G4)
    And the Combo super Drive is DOWN,I just can't insert any Disk inside anymore. So if having another Mac is helpful for my issue,anything I would try.
    Due To I'm having some urgent important jobs now so I really can't initialize or setup other new computers for my works now.
    HELP! Thanks!!!

    Just because you can't find them does not mean they aren't there.

    1) What are control files susposed to
    contain and how would I recognize them?
    I used the
    unix find /usr/oracle \*ctl* -print
    command to locate files with a ctl extension.
    This resulted in about a dozen such files in
    different directories as shown below:

    2) On page 100 in the book Oracle 8i A Beginners's
    by Oracle Press mention is made of a
    CREATE CONTROLFILE command that can under
    circumstances be used to re-create a control-file.
    but that is all that is said about it. Perhaps
    you might know something more about it.
    3) Would you recommend any good text for
    Oracle DBA's, especially for the problem of the sort
    that I am encountering?

    It's probably not supported on RHEL5/Centos5/etc., but...
    You can get the installer to function using the following steps:
    - extract the cal_linux_*.tar.gz, and cd into the OracleCalendar_inst directory
    In there is the actual installer, cal_linux.
    - the cal_linux is shell script wrapped around some binary blobs. The installer's
    problem is that Oracle is setting the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 environment
    variable, which is a mistake on RHEL5. You need to make it not set that variable,
    but you need to do so in a way that the size of the shell script does not change at all,
    and none of the binary blobs are impacted.
    - the approach I took was
    mv cal_linux cal_linux.BAK
    sed -e 's/LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5/LD_ASSUME_KERNEL= /g' < cal_linux.BAK > cal_linux
    chmod a+rx cal_linux
    cal_linux -i gui
    Note: you must have exactly 5 spaces in the substitution part of the sed command, because you're replacing 5 characters (2.2.5), and the size of the shell script must not change.
    If you do that, the installer should run (one warning from awk still) and you should be able to install the product.

  • Can't mount database using Oracle 8i on linux

    I am not able to mount an Oracle database.
    I am new to Oracle and am working on an Oracle8i installation on an
    Intel Linux Suse 6.3 platform. I am using only one harddrive and am
    not using the 4 mount points as mentioned for efficiecy purposes in
    the Oracle documentation..I am using the installation cd from Oracle8i
    for Linux Starter Kit by Oracle Press. If anyone has this book they
    can refer to pages 41-44 for the examples I followed.
    As sysdba in sqplplus using the STARTUP command I can not Mount the
    database -step 2 of the 3 stage process (Start, Mount and Open the
    database) of opening an Oracle database.
    I show the errors I encountered when I did the first 2 of the 3 steps
    in the step-by-step mode (STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile=, ALTER DATABASE
    MOUNT) in the sqlplus session and alert log respectively with startup
    nomount and alter database mount for this sqlplus session.
    Additionally I show the init.ora file lines referring to control file
    which seem to be referred to by the sqlplus error messages and the
    alert.log file. Perhaps some can give me some advice as what I can try
    to fix this problem.
    At the end of this e-mail I added several questions I had in regard to the control
    files. Any help is appreciated.
    Well, here are the sqlplus session results and its alert.log file:

    init.ora control files
    # define two control files by default
    control_files = (ora_control1, ora_control2)
    Here are my control file questions:
    I need to know several points:
    1) What are control files susposed to
    contain and how would I recognize them?
    I used the
    unix find /usr/oracle \*ctl* -print
    command to locate files with a ctl extension.
    This resulted in about a dozen such files in
    different directories as shown below:
    ./bin/lsnrctl
    ./bin/extractlib
    ./bin/agtctl
    ./bin/oidctl
    ./bin/lsnrctl0
    ./bin/agtctlO
    ./rdbms/demo/ulcase1.ctl
    ./rdbms/demo/ulcase10.ctl

    ./ord/ts/demo/applet/indexdemo.ctl
    ./javavm/admin/libjox8com_sun_jndi_ldap_ctl.so
    ./md/demo/examples/migctl.h
    ./md/demo/examples/migctl.c
    2) On page 100 in the book Oracle 8i A Beginners's
    by Oracle Press mention is made of a
    CREATE CONTROLFILE command that can under
    circumstances be used to re-create a control-file.
    but that is all that is said about it. Perhaps
    you might know something more about it.
    3) Would you recommend any good text for
    Oracle DBA's, especially for the problem of the sort
    that I am encountering?

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by ():
    I am not able to mount an Oracle database.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    Hi ()
    My problem is accessing the database with sqlplus system/manager @oralin, on page 55 of the Linux starter kit. Do you notice the space here, between system/manager.. and.. @oralin. I think it needs to be there.
    Is your database named Chestnut?
    And for Startup, why are you using init.ora? the book mentions initoralin.ora on page 43.
    Your configurations are different than recommended in the book. I'm not sure if any of this helps, but maybe you can help me. When I try sqlplus system/manager @oralin, the response is: can't connect to oralin.sql.
    According to the book, I need to use @oralin at the end of the command in order to see if I have properly configured the server for MTS, a multithreaded server.
    Any ideas? I hope I can help further.

  • Can't mount iPod error message

    Hi, I am trying to fix a feezing problem on my iPod (on startup the display shows a folder with an exclamation mark) and was trying to do a factory restore on it when I ran into the following error messages.
    Installing the latest version of Updater, I tried connecting the iPod and then saw a Windows error message that said:
    Cannot Install this Hardware
    There was a problem installing this hardware
    Apple iPod USB Device
    An error occurred during the installation of the device
    The specified service does not exist as an installed service
    After seeing this error message, Updater then displayed the next error message:
    Can't mount iPod
    Can someone suggest how I can fix this so the iPod is recognized and I can have Updater restore the factory settings?
    Thanks in advance,
    Apple iPod 20GB 20 GB 4th Gen M9282LL/A   Windows XP Pro  

    Have a read the following carefully
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2001071#2001071
    Seems that you may need to change your iPod drive no.

    Although it doesn't mount properly, Rhythmbox recognizes and lists the Galaxy Nexus in its GUI. I can even look at the device's properties window. Rhythmbox fails to list any files already on the Galaxy Nexus, though, and I can't transfer anything to it as the following error message in Rhythmbox appears:
    Error transferring track
    Unable to send file to MTP device: PTP Layer error 02ff: send_file_object_info(): Could not send object info.
    Googling for Error 2 brought up some Ubuntu posts from Dec 12 when they had a bug in libmtp 1.1.1, but the current version installed on my system is 1.1.5-1 from the Arch repositories.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    @all: so you are basically telling me that my Galaxy nexus should properly mount despite the error messages in my Terminal?
    @k.sarend: thank you, I'll try that once I get home.
    @mzneverdies: interesting point... I didn't think the choice of the DE would have any impact on mounting devices, that's why I posted in the Kernel & Hardware Support section.
    (on a side note: I was a Linux user from 2001-2004 and had KDE as my primary desktop. I just came back to (this time Arch) Linux two weeks ago with a new box and I decided to install Gnome since it seems to have progressed more... but really, I am open for both DEs, I'm not a fanboy/evangelist or anything)
